Character profile 'Nathan'

Nathans character is the antagonist in our thriller, he is the most violent character as he kills the protagonist in the. Nathan's real identity is not shown throughout the thriller, there's a camera shot showing a suspect but his real identity is covered up by a cliffhanger ending; leaving the thriller a mystery to the viewer.

We are first introduced to Nathan at the protagonists house, when he appears round a corner of the door peering at the protagonist, getting ready to attack him. Instantly he provides action for the thriller by the attack and the viewer can tell he is going to be a key character through the thriller. Nathan is not involved in any communications throughout the thriller, meaning that his personality is disclosed so he could be anybody. However, his actions and body language throughout the thriller express the fact that he is a very aggressive male. Nathan is seen as a bulky character with a substantial height on him, making him very intimidating and so that he fits the role of his antagonist character perfectly.

Towards the end of the clip Nathan is seen running away from a car, showing that he has done something wrong and does not want to be caught; he has a fear of getting caught. The next scene shows Nathan tied to a chair in a mysterious room with his attacker behind him about to reveal his identity, unfortunately it is left leaving the viewer in suspense as they never find out his true identity because it cuts to the title of our thriller; 'Retribution'.

Costume
Once thinking things over, we decided what costumes would make the antagonist as believable and extremely intimidating. The fact that Nathan is the antagonist character in the thriller, he has to fit his role perfectly, wearing dark clothes and being very aggressive towards the protagonist during the attack. For his costume, we decided he has to wear black tracksuit bottoms with a black jumper, this represents the character has a very dark side to him. Furthermore, Nathan is wearing a black balaclava; covering his identity, which is a key fact in the thriller as without the balaclava it would leave our thriller with no mystery behind it.
