Character List
Here is a list of characters that add up to create
our thriller film opening.
Name: Hiro
Role: Protagonist
Gender: Male
Acted by: Ryan Brand
Clothing: Black hoodie, black jeans, black boots, black half face mask.
Representations: His dark clothing represents an anti-hero role and his anti-social nature. The clothing he wears is not typical for a middle-class citezen as it is less formal. One of the shots is an extreme close-up of Hiro's eyes which shows the lifelessness and lack of emotion the character has. The weapons he uses in the film also represents and mix of western and traditional culture in the modern age.
Name: Mr. 'Danny' Smith
Role: Villian
Gender: Male
Acted by: Will Willis
Clothing: Black gas mask, white shirt, black waistcoat, red tie, black skinny trousers/jeans, black boots, black trench coat.
Representations: The black gas mask can connote him hiding a burn on his face or hiding away from society. He wears smart clothes which conflicts with where he lives because working class citizens aren't portrayed as intelligent and fashionable. With Mr. Smith's henchman wearing more working class style clothes like tracksuit bottoms and hoodies Mr. Smith is made to look like a leader of the broken group by his clothes being more formal.

Camera shot research
The Close-up shot shows mostly only the face or object that it is showing. When a close-up of a face is shown, you can see the character's emotions fully. This is often used to make you feel closer to the character.
The Medium shot of a person shows some emotion, but does not only show the face. The medium shot usually shows half of the human body (unless the person is small (child/baby ect)) which can express their body language as well as some emotion on the face.
The Long shot of a person shows their whole body, some body language and facial emotion, but is usually used to show what they are doing and what is around them. Most common in scenes where people are walking.The long shot is often mixed up with the Two shot.
The Two shot is a shot where the focus is on two people in the frame. Often used during romance, chat and table scenes, the two shot is mostly there to show the people talking to each other.
The Crane shot is a shot from a higher angle which is only achievable when using a crane hence the name crane shot. (you could achieve this using rooftops and ladders but generally a crane is used)
