Character Analysis: Victim
Name: John Smith

Character Role: John is an average UK student who unfortunately is an victim in this story. The audience at first will think that he is an average teenager however by the end he would come face to face with the antagonist and thats where the opening scene will end.
Age: 17
Gender Stereotype or Role: British, Chubby, laid back but intelligent. An student we dont know what happens to him after the first scene since he face to face with the Antagonist.
Costume: Throughout the whole opening scene we see him wearing an white T-Shirt and black tracksuit bottom. The reason why chose this is because it suggest hes vulnerable also that hes at home comfortable with no cares in the world.
Hair and Make-up: His hair would be very causal looking since hes at home like most other teenagers we are not planning to use make-up for unless there is an visual problem with the camera and him in which case we would use make-up then so hes more visible to the camera
Body Language and Facial Expression: At first he will be very relaxed and seems that hes enjoying himself however as the opening scene progresses his body language and facial expression would change because of the nature of whats going on. he would look more anxious. His facial expression depending on the different part of scene maybe shocked or scared. The emotion and body language would be trigger during events such as the note and the smashing of the glass.
Represented as: He is an character that didn't care about anything at first however is vulnerable since he is home by himself and since this could happen to anyone and he couldn't protect himself
Role within the narrative: He is the victim in the opening scene, he would been seen almost throughout the entire the opening scene he would first appear in the kitchen making snacks to the end where he faced with the antagonist. Throughout the film he would appear vulnerable at all times.

He will be also wearing a mask to cover his identity since he didn't want the victim to know who he is and the audience wont be able to find out who he is.
Hair and Make-up: There wont be no need for hair and make up will be done since his face will be covered with a mask as well as the black hoodie would cover his head.
Body Language and Facial Expression: His body language would show that he means business and and he will be standing in-front of the television this would create black lighting and this would create powerful imagery about the character.
