3. In our thriller
The character that is represented in our thriller opening is a working
class, teenage boy.
4. Male
Although him being male is clearly shown. We’ve represented this through
the way he is presented to the audience. This is shown through his
clothing. Males are seen to be quite messy and rough. We’ve made sure
our main character has looked exactly like this. His costume involves a
plaid shirt that is buttoned up wrong and slouchy jeans. His hair also looks
quite dirty and messy.
Most killers are male.
In films males are mostly represented as tough and dominant. Cigarettes
make people look more tough so we’ve had him smoking the near the
beginning to half way through our opening.
5. Working Class
You can tell from the mise en scene (his home) that he is working class.
The cracked walls and unpainted surroundings clearly shows that he is not
upper class.
His clothing also represent a working class citizen. He’s dressed informally
its rough and he’s not exactly wearing a tie and suit.
I think we’ve portrayed him very negative but I believe we’ve portrayed him
how the media would usually.
