Character Analysis

Character Analysis.

This character is a very well-known character, not just in the horror genre but across the film industry. The role that he plays in this film is a very significant role.  The director is trying to signify to the audience that this character cannot help his actions due to his mental condition. The reason why he is wearing a mask is to hide his identity, which means that he is insecure with who he is.  He has his reason why he kills people and this is linked very closely with the background that he has had and we learn this through the intro of the film.  He is very clever with how he goes about his killings because he waits until someone is on their own and then takes them without many people finding out until he has fled the area. The weapon that he uses is a phallic symbol because of the shape and the resemblance to the phallic symbol. Even though he is wearing a mask this a very good way to identify that the killer is a male. A male was most likely chosen to be the killer because they are predominately the stronger sex.  If you were to watch the film and closely look at this character, before you saw him with a mask and a weapon in his hand then you would instantly see the traits of killer.  The lighting behind him makes him look much bigger than what he is because this really highlights how big he is compared to his surroundings.

Final Idea For Our Trailer.

Jordan is a girl who is studying at university, now going into her last year of her course. She has become stressed over the pressure of meeting deadlines and the little time she to complete the work. Jordan lives with a couple who are all loved up and this makes lives for Jordan at home much harder than it already is.
The night before an important exam, Jordan is trying to fit in as much revision as possible before the next day. However, she is rudely interupted by the sound of the couple making love to one another. Later on that night she goes down into the kitchen to find the couple cooking dinner and leaves them to it and storms upstairs to get an early night before her exam. Before she went upstairs she went for a walk to clear her head before going to bed. She begins to get paranoid that someone is following her and because it is raining she see's a dark shadow in one of the puddles.
The following morning, she walks downstairs and finds that her housemates have been brutally murdered. She is convinced that who ever has killed her friends was following her last night whilst she was on that walk.
