Character Representation

There are three characters in our opening. There are two villains and one victim.

Character 1:

Gender: Female

Ethnicity: Turkish

Character Background: Yeliz is a single lady that live by herself with no friends or family that is close. she has just moved into to the area and has not yet spoke to her neighbors due to the language barrier of being Turkish.

Connection to the audience: because Yeliz is alone and doesn't know somebody, she is weak and innocent and this makes a good thriller convention because these men are are big and strong so she cant defend herself. Also she is small and one of the killers is a lot bigger than her.




Character 2:

Gender: Male

Ethnicity: German

Character Background: This character has a history of a certain type of mental illness. this type means that he thinks he lives in the past and as a different person. in this case he thinks that he is his farther who was a German soldier in World War 2. his uncle fought as a front line trooper at the time that gas attacks were imminent. his father died by gas poison which is why this character wears a gas mask.


Character 3:

Gender: Male

Ethnicity: White British

Character Background: He is a very young, high earning business man who has everything he could ever want. but his Dad who owns the company that he works for has noticed that he is not acting right and doesn't turn up to work all of the time which is unusual as he has never missed a day. His Dad has noticed that he has been having secret meetings with someone who is new to the area, this guy is from Ukraine. He also started to notice that he was wearing old fashioned clothes and is starting to speak as if he was from the 1940's. This guy also has a collection of WW2 artefacts like an old Kar 98.

Connection to the audience:

The audience never actually see the men in this opening clip and why they are doing this and this makes the audience suspicious and weary of what might happen which would make them want to watch the whole film.

  1. You have made a start in describing the different characters that you would like to include within your production. You have considered their background and purpose, but further analysis is needed of how the characters are conventional to a thriller.
