Main Character introduction:

 

In our film trailer we are going to use a nineteen year old male called Fraser Smalley, he recently studied drama at A-Level and has persuade a career in acting for a film called Dumbo. We have chosen Fraser to be our main character in our film trailer because we believe that his acting skills will make our film more believable. By using a nineteen year old as our main character we will be able to have a target audience ranging from the age of 16-20 year olds. Another reason for picking a male character is because from my research of psychological thrillers film trailers, the majority of the antagonists in my researched films were male characters that have dominated the situation. A few examples of this could be the film split and the girl on the train. Both these films have strong male characters that cause a stir in the film.

We have also decided as a group to call the main character Fraser this is because after researching a similar film called 'Elephant' we discovered that the two male characters that take part in the school shooting are called Alex and Eric.  These characters are named after the real actors called Alex Frost and Eric Deulen.

Costume ideas:

 

 

We want Fraser to be wearing dark and dull clothing because it connotes the character to have a dark and dangerous personality. Not only will it represent the personality of the character but it will also match the genre of the film and create a deathly atmosphere. I also thought having our character wear all black would connote death because people wearing all black is associated with deaths at a funeral and our film is about a guy going into a school and shooting for the thrill of it causing lots of deaths.
