Characters & Group Roles

Max curdy 

Main Protagonist (Adam) - Servais 

Main Antagonist (Vincent/Vince) - Max 

Thug/ henchman (Tyler) - Freddie 

Captive/ hero's friend (James) - Charlie

we have appointed these roles specifically to everyone because we thought it would be more effective. For example, Servais and Charlie both have blonde hair which is a light colour, we would want to associate these bright colours with goodness so the audience have a better idea of who is good and who is bad. Though Myself and Freddie have dark hair, it won't be visible due to the wearing of masks. However, our size is slightly taller than the protagonists which will give off an impression of power over them. The wearing of the balaclava's will also make it clear that the characters are not good as its odd to find a hero wearing a mask that's associated with crime and potentially violence.

All protagonists wear casual clothing that is fairly coloured, this is to represent the character in a good way. Light colours are often associated with good traits. The clothing is casual as we want to show that the protagonists are still normal people like the people in the audience. This will enable the audience to relate to the characters and root for them, hence making the film a more enjoyable experience. The antagonist however will be wearing 'Chav-like' clothing which is dark. This is to represent the fact that they are in a gang and out of the norm. Dark clothing is also associated with evil so the audience will know that they are the characters that are bad.

Our aim with costuming is to make sure that the audience know more about the character without the use of speech and to know whether or not they are good or bad. As our target audience is 15- 30's, we feel like the costuming is appropriate and enables the target audience to relate to them. Our characters are young and are experiencing gang life, the target audience are of the same generation and have probably heard of gang events that have happened in real life, this adds a sense of realism in our film.  We also want to challenge these colour concepts as the traitor is the friend who wears clothing like the protagonist, this will make our film unique to other thriller films and add a surprise which will make the film exciting and therefore more enjoyable for the audience.
