Planning: Character Representations
In Thriller movies certain characters hold different purposes and give the story meaning. Characters need to be read and understood by the audience.
Character's representation are how each character is being presented in a film production towards the audience. It is important because having the right actors to play the roles that are suitable based on how they look and their acting skills can create a lot of different meanings and will be based on the audience to judge on the characters. It is also includes different personalities within the characters in a film as the audience will have their own connotations and view points on each of the characters. This will helps the viewers to decide whether he or she is a good character or if they like them or not.

Character's representation can be shown through body language, facial expressions, voice tone and appearance that need to be relatable towards the narrative
Victim- In our thriller the character of the victim will be played by a young white female, this is because through research I found that this was stereotypical and conventional to the thriller genre. It is stereotypical because a young white female possesses characteristics which show her as quite timid and weak, therefore the audience will also expect them to behave like this therefore have sympathy towards them.
NAME: Carlie Cokell
GENDER: Female
ROLE IN THE FILM: Female Victim
COSTUME:
FACIAL EXPRESSION: Blank/ Clueless
BODY LANGUAGE:
From important research, I found that representing my female victim in this way was conventional because the stereotype shown is that women are weaker than man and that they are feeble and helpless.
Antagonist- In my thriller I will be playing the role of the antagonist, I am a black male 6 foot 1 in height with an athletic build. I am filling this role because conventional antagonists have a rough build or frame similar to mine, this will make the character of the antagonist even more intimidating and fit the conventions of a thriller film
