Second Possible Media Audience

Introducing Our Horror Film main Characters...

In our short horror film, we have decided to have two main characters. One of the characters in an innocent teenage boy who is walking through the forest minding his own business. This charter lives a normal life, he goes to school like any other boy and enjoys going out and socialising with his friends. The reason that we have decided to make our main character as 'normal' as possible is because it gives the audience a better chance of making a connection  with the charter, because he can be related to.


The second main character is the killer. The killer is the character who will be hunting down the teenage boy and chasing him through the forest. The main characteristic of the killer is that it wears a mask, the reason behind this is because it makes the character look more intimidating and it also creates a sense of mystery about who the killer is. In terms of personality, there really isn't a lot to say about the killer apart from the fact that it is a deranged psychopath.

Possible Media Audience

Mises en scene research

Clothing/Props- The dog walker will be wearing casual clothes, wellies, jeans and a shirt, also, the walker will have a leash for his dog. These are used in order to create a sense of normality, which will cause a greater sense of shock for the viewer when the clown comes out. Also, these bright clothes create a contrast with the dark future ahead. My target audience would agree that this type of clothing is suitable because is makes the audience unsuspecting that something is going to happen, therefore increasing the amount of shock that they have when the innocent man is attacked.








The clown will have an intimidating mask on, while wearing very dark clothing. the reason that we are using such dark clothing is to show that the clown is dark throughout, whether it be his dark personality or his dark clothing choice. His clothing reflects his personality. Secondly, we will use a mask because we want the viewer to think that the clown is hiding a much more scary and evil person behind the mask. I believe that the clown should wear a dark all in one outfit, as it looks very rough and rugged. I think that my target audience would like the idea of the killer with a clown mask and a dark overall suit. This is because the brightness of the clown mask will contrast with the dark outfit, the clown's face will stand out more especially in the moonlight.
