Question 2
The left picture is the main antagonist from our film, and the right picture is Michael Myers from John Carpenters "Halloween" (1978). I have chosen these paticular images as the lay out is similar; a low angle shot of a masked killer holding their weapon.
Both characters are extremely similar in terms of costume and role.
They both disguise themselves wear pal masks which shadow out their eyes (signifying their insanity and inhumanity) The masks also seem to intensify their breathing; in both films their breathing can be heard unusually loudly.
They have the same choice of weapon -a large kitchen knife. We did consider more elaborate weapons such as axes and even pitchforks, but because of budget reasons and the weapons looking too obviously fake, something more simple had to be used.
Michael wears a dark green boiler suit while our killer dresses in a casual manner wearing a fleece and coat, obviously because of the cold weather. The ordinary clothes indicate he was once an ordinary member of society, making the idea more terrifying.
Their roles in the films are extremely similar, it is the typical slasher film antagonist; a silent psychotic stalker slaughtering people for no clear reason.
In terms of body language, they both stand upright and confidently since they feel no fear or intimidation from other characters.
This character is not made to represent any type of social group, but by his physical build the audience would assume that he is between the age of 15 and 19, so the film could be addressing the issue of teenage crime in Britain.
