We have decided to compare our main thriller character (Nathan) to the antagonist from the film 'Scream'. They are both very similar as they are dressed all in black garments, making their identity a secret to the viewer and would make them want to find out who the mysterious figure actually is. Some of the attributes that Nathan has, have been reflected in the character that we have created and used in our film opening. Despite all of these similarities there are also a few differences.
Similarities:
- Both characters are holding a everyday weapon that could be picked up from anywhere.
- They both sneak up on their victims before attacking them.
- The main similarity between the two is that they are both peering around a corner at their victims before they attack them.
- Both antagonists are played by male characters, this is because the male gender are stereotypically very dominant and they viewer would believe it to be a greater thriller if the victim were chased by a very tall man, rather than a smaller female.
- Both antagonist's body languages are very open and tall, in a standing position ready to attack their victim.
Differences:
- Unlike in our thriller, the antagonist in 'Scream' is wearing a mask to cover his identity, whereas Nathan is wearing a balaclava.
- In 'Scream' the antagonist teases the victim by calling them, causing them to be scared that something is going to happen. In our thriller Nathan approaches me without any warnings, therefore making it a silent attack.
- In our thriller Nathan is not wearing any cloves whilst holding the knife, but in 'Scream' the antagonist is wearing gloves to prevent any tracks of DNA being found on the knife.
- The villain in 'Scream' usually uses the knives to kill the victims, unlike ours where Nathan uses ether on a cloth to knock the victim unconscious, then the killing of him is not shown and the clip just shows Nathan walking out.
