Character 1 (Costume)

 This is our first character who realistically has a fairly big role. We decided on using a man for our first character as we needed an adult to drive the car and also stereotypically, a man would fit the image of drink driving more likely than anyone else. Firstly, the image of the male character, we were trying to create a careless, basic look and obviously looking quite 'rough'. Typically, someone dressed like this would be stereotyped as lazy, 'chav', careless and most likely associated with bad things, as is further shown throughout the opening when he hits the young girl for drink driving. Most importantly we decided to use a hat to keep the character hidden. Realistically, it was the idea that he was not fully shown and was not flaunted because after hitting the girl, you typically wouldn't expect the character to be shown as it could later on be revealed. The two shots that we took of the character, as you can see, are not extremely revealing as he is looking down and is not revealing his true identity.I think that this is also a common thing that you see in horror film, the antagonists are not shown and are often shown as a shadow until a specific point of the film.
