As a Character - Louise plays a character called Scarlett.
Scarlett is the first character to appear on screen; she poses the typical damsel in distress, like in Propp's theory, through her fear and eventual attack - however, she subverts thriller conventions through her sexuality. She isn't a straight character, and is in a relationship with the second character that appears, Emma.

Red top - suggestive of the danger she may be in, due to the negative connotations of the colour red e.g. danger. As well as this, red is a warm colour, which contrasts heavily with the colder colours around her; such as the green bushes and leaves, and brown bark. Therefore we see that she stands out. Where she is wearing this bright, warm colour, the location she is in juxtaposes with its coldness. This not only reinforces her personality as a character, increasing the sympathy gained from the audience when she is stalked and attacked, but also causes her to be easily distinguishable from Emma.
Blue jeggings - these suggest that she is comfortable and ready for the environment, contrasting with the uncomfortable clothing Emma wears, which is suggestive that she is not supposed to be there (that perhaps she has lied about where she is in order to be there - this raises more of an enigma code for the rest of the film).
Trainers - These are also suggestive of the fact she is ready for the environment, whereas Emma is wearing boots that would typically be worn if you're going out with friends and such.
Kayce (me):
As a Character - I play a character called Emma, the main protagonist of the thriller.
She subverts thriller conventions by being a female lead, and not being a heterosexual - she also displays none of the typical damsel in distress behaviour, such as the stereotypically melodramatic, fearful nature so often portrayed in thriller films.

Black jumper and coat - The dark colours suggest that she is trying her best not to stand out, possibly so that she's not recognised or paid attention to on my way there. This gives reasoning behind the hesitance in the narration; instead of speaking confidently or lovingly of Scarlett, she speaks with quite a detached tone, like she is hiding a secret between the two of them (which she is).
