Media Studies Evaluation 2 2. The character I will be analysing from my film opening is of course my main character, the assassin. I have called him the assassin as in the film opening he is unnamed, and it is not yet decided whether he will be given a name as the film progresses. My assassin character has been mainly inspired by Jason Bourne from the Bourne series. The rugged, no holds barred, assassin attitude of the assassin is something that can be seen largely in the character of Bourne. In the films, Bourne has no idea who he is, where he is, and how he got there, and the only way he can discover these answers is to get to a certain person, and kill everyone who gets in his way. Although my character uses a gun to kill the prisoner, I feel as the film progresses who could be an extremely aggressive, hands on fighter, much like Bourne. One scene I vividly remember in one of the Bourne films is a scene where he enters a seemingly empty apartment, only to find one of the enemies in there. With no guns or weapons around, they enter a very aggressive hands on fight, in which Bourne eventually snaps the man’s neck. This brute like aggressiveness is something I feel could be mimicked in my character. Although their personality may be the same, their appearance is fairly different. The first difference would be the colour of the characters. Bourne seems to be a very pale, clearly white character, whereas my assassin is a tanned man. Also, Bourne has no facial hair, and is a very clean, pristine person, with a clear face, whereas the main character of my film has a bushy stubble on his face, with faded sideburns and a strong dark head of hair. There are some similarities in their appearance, such as the build of the two, and the powerful expressions on their faces, but their overall appearance is quite different. Their roles are almost identical. Bourne plays a vicious, aggressive man who kills anyone in his way, and my character is much of the same. Although my character doesn’t hold much of a story from the two minute opening, if the film was to progress, it is shown he is an assassin who kills “rats” who have been captured by the government with information that could change the world. He kills them not because he wants to, but because he feels he has to. This is much like Bourne’s character, as he did not choose the lifestyle that is shown in the films, he woke up with no recollection of where or who he was, and was almost thrown into it.

Media  Studies  Evaluation  2  

2.  The  character  I  will  be  analysing  from  my  film  opening  is  of  course  my  main  character,  the  assassin.  I  have  called  him  the  assassin  as  in  the  film  opening  he  is  unnamed,  and  it  is  not  yet  decided  whether  

he  will  be  given  a  name  as  the  film  progresses.  My  assassin  character  has  been  mainly  inspired  by  Jason  Bourne  from  the  Bourne  series.  The  rugged,  no  holds  barred,  assassin  attitude  of  the  assassin  is  something  that  can  be  seen  largely  in  the  character  of  Bourne.  In  the  films,  Bourne  has  no  idea  

who  he  is,  where  he  is,  and  how  he  got  there,  and  the  only  way  he  can  discover  these  answers  is  to  get  to  a  certain  person,  and  kill  everyone  who  gets  in  his  way.  Although  my  character  uses  a  gun  to  kill  the  prisoner,  I  feel  as  the  film  progresses  who  could  be  an  extremely  aggressive,  hands  on  fighter,  

much  like  Bourne.  One  scene  I  vividly  remember  in  one  of  the  Bourne  films  is  a  scene  where  he  enters  a  seemingly  empty  apartment,  only  to  find  one  of  the  enemies  in  there.  With  no  guns  or  weapons  around,  they  enter  a  very  aggressive  hands  on  fight,  in  which  Bourne  eventually  snaps  the  

man’s  neck.  This  brute  like  aggressiveness  is  something  I  feel  could  be  mimicked  in  my  character.    

Although  their  personality  may  be  the  same,  their  appearance  is  fairly  different.  The  first  difference  would  be  the  colour  of  the  characters.  Bourne  seems  to  be  a  very  pale,  clearly  white  character,  whereas  my  assassin  is  a  tanned  man.  Also,  Bourne  has  no  facial  hair,  and  is  a  very  clean,  pristine  

person,  with  a  clear  face,  whereas  the  main  character  of  my  film  has  a  bushy  stubble  on  his  face,  with  faded  sideburns  and  a  strong  dark  head  of  hair.  There  are  some  similarities  in  their  appearance,  such  as  the  build  of  the  two,  and  the  powerful  expressions  on  their  faces,  but  their  overall  

appearance  is  quite  different.    

Their  roles  are  almost  identical.  Bourne  plays  a  vicious,  aggressive  man  who  kills  anyone  in  his  way,  and  my  character  is  much  of  the  same.  Although  my  character  doesn’t  hold  much  of  a  story  from  the  

two  minute  opening,  if  the  film  was  to  progress,  it  is  shown  he  is  an  assassin  who  kills  “rats”  who  have  been  captured  by  the  government  with  information  that  could  change  the  world.  He  kills  them  not  because  he  wants  to,  but  because  he  feels  he  has  to.  This  is  much  like  Bourne’s  character,  as  he
