Role: The Intruder (Antagonist)
Actor: John Wood
Age: 19
We have chosen to use John as The Intruder in the film as we believe he fits the profile perfectly. In a typical horror film, the antagonist is expected to be intimidating and powerful in order to present the role effectively. Due to John being well built and having a large stature, he can appear to be very dominant, therefore making him out as the antagonist. He is bigger than the other characters who will be included in the film which will make them fear and be intimidated by him. The use of low angle shots to show his dominance wouldn't even be needed unless it was definitely necessary. I believe John has what it takes to make our film memorable. This is important as antagonists are one of, if not the biggest factor to think about in a horror film as they are more recognised than the protagonists in the film. In a way, horror fans will look at the antagonist as the hero and will so want them to be as big and as bad as possible. John is hard working and committed so he will take the role seriously when we are recording. The last thing we would want is someone who doesn't care to be playing the main and most recognisable character. Some of the most well known antagonists that we have based The Intruder on include Leatherface, Freddy and Jason, Michael Myers and Ghostface.
Role: Protagonists - Ryan and Shaun
Actor(s): Ryan Jones and Shaun Owens
Age(s): 17 and 18
We have decided to use two main protagonists in the film as this stands a better chance of appealing to viewers as they may not like one of them for whatever reason. Having a boring protagonist can ruin the reputation of the film and would definitely put people off of viewing it. The protagonist(s) is one of the main reasons why people watch the film. They can be anything such as funny, brave or stupid as long as they are not boring. The two protagonists in our film are me and Shaun and we play the role of best friends. I have made sure that we have the key qualities of a protagonist in order to represent the role effectively. These include having a likability factor about us as well as being brave and clever enough to make decisions quickly - this is vital when theirs an intruder in your home trying to rip your guts out. During the film, me and Shaun will often switch roles between the primary and secondary protagonists to show what would happen in a realistic situation. If one of us was freaking out, then the other would need to take charge in order to save the two. Also, with the antagonist being so large and powerful, two protagonists are better than one as it creates more of a challenge and thickens the plot which will entice viewers when watching. Again, me and Shaun are as hard working and committed as it gets and will so make sure that we are taking everything seriously when recording in order to gain the best results possible.
