The interrogator.

Characteristics: Self confident Independent Opinionated
Career strong

We moulded our interrogator around Carrie-Anne Moss from the 'Unthinkable' a female interrogator. Within the film she is known as 'Special Agent Helen Brody', the leader of an FBI counter-terrorism team assigned to interrogate. She appears very self-motivated, smart, opinionated and dominant. This being exactly what we intended for our interrogator, Detective Inspector Smith.
The mise en scene used with the film appears very smart and formal, this being a feature we decided to include in the vengeance as our interrogator Jenny wears a smart stripped shirt, with neat hair and minimal, simplistic makeup. This giving her a serious attitude, undeniably perfect for the interrogation role.

To make our character's intended characteristics come across to the audience, we followed certain procedures with the mise en scene, lighting, camera angles and speech to help do so.
To show her dominant side, we did an over the shoulder shot/mid shot, showing her to be almost in control of the screen whilst questioning John Mulberry. Minimal lighting was used also, to maintain the focus on her rather than anything else. Highlighting the importance of her being and showing good versus evil as John is left in the dark. Her positioning is very forward and encouraging as she aims to get the truth out of the suspect.

The victim.

Characteristics:IndependantMotivatedProfesional Vulnerable Feminine

Our victim, Rebecca Jane Foster was intentionally put across as a helpless soul, who is dominated and murdered by the coniving John Mulberry.
This idea was inspired from the film Kill Bill, with Uma Thurma being the helpless victim, who is shot by a mysterious man. In which we included within our film, through the use of Johns identity not being shown. Overall influencing the thrilling atmosphere and making it a mystery encouring the viewer to want to watch the rest of the film.
We chose to dress her in casual, pretty clothing, covered in flowers to resemble her gentle and vulnerable nature. She speaks in a 'stressed' tone, to help build up the tension as the sequence goes on, creating a sense of danger. To show her vulnerability we did various ariel/crane shots of her working and walking around, with the lighting always focused on her as she is one of the main protagonists. This also making her almost appear inferior, that she isn't safe and something is about to happen. Encouraging the audience to watch and become involved in the film, worring for Rebeccas welbeing.

The villain.

Characteristics:RoothlessSlyStrongDeterminedDominant

Our villain was inspired by three separate thriller films, Casino Royale, Kill Bill and Flight Plan, in which we moulded together to create John Mulberry. The dark mysterious outfit was inpired by casino royale as we felt it helped viewers identify the villain from the victim easily. The conspiracy within our film was enouraged through flight plan as we felt it adds a mass of mystery and unanswered intruiging questions to occur. We then tied this all together with the use of Kill Bills mystery footsteps and dark boots as we felt it added suspense to our villain John.
To carry on with the theme of mystery and to give John a dark menacing image we dressed him in all black, like in Casino Royale, with his hoodie up to hide his identity. Unlike Kill Bill however, we chose to give John no speech as it adds to the suspense and mystery of his actions and character. A high angled shot is used to show his dominance over Rebecca as he watches her leave her precious office.
This also shown with his posture and actions as he visciously pushes all of the pieces of unwanted paper on the floor along with anything else in his path, showing he is looking for one thing and one thing only. To enhance the realism of this we used a hand held camera shot to help build up to the climax of the opening.
Our aim was to make John silent but deadly, he did not speak, he did not have to, hes being was thrilling enough.
