Narrative/Character Development

Main Character:

(Target: To give the target audience someone that they can relate to.)

·       Teenager – to set the target audience’s age. The age of a character really helps the audience to relate to him.

·       Casual clothes - jeans, trainers and a jumper. This helps show that the teenager is just an average boy of his age.

·       Modern House – This shows the time period of the film and also the modern house would show that the boy is “cool”, which immediately gives him a better screen presence.

The Creepy Stanger

(Target: To make him as scary as possible, without being too cheesy.)

·       Showing the legs – this automatically stops the audience setting opinions on whether the man’s face is scary or whether he is too tall or big ect.

·       Clothes – Dark jeans, leather jacket, gloves. This outfit avoids the classic stereotypes of a black cloak, and it also gives the stranger a human quality – as he is dressed normally.

·       His walking style – the stranger is walking slowly but confidently, this gives shows that he feel comfortable with what he is doing and the walking pace also makes it more scary for the audience.
