Character profiles

There are only two characters in my opening sequence: the victim Heidi and the anonymous antagonist.

Heidi
Name: Heidi
Played by: Heidi Green
Age: 18
Hair colour: Blonde
Personality: Very outgoing, has lots of friends.
Likes: Shopping, going to the cinema, socialising with her friends, listening to pop music.
Dislikes: Spiders, the dark.
Family: She has a Mum, Dad and a younger sister although she lives with a couple of housemates rather than her family.


This character is extremely conventional of victims in the horror genre. She could be compared to Laurie Strode, the 17 year old babysitter who is pursued by Michael Myers in Halloween (John Carpenter,1978)

The Antagonist

This character is purposefully mysterious and not a lot is know about him. Having the antagonist as an illusive character acts as another device to create tension. The audience never sees his face as he wears a skeleton mask to hide his identity. Is adds enigma codes as to who he is.      

This is also a convention of the horror genre. Villains in other horror films such as Scream (1996) and Friday the 13th (1980) also wear masks to hide there identity.
