Character profile - Casting: Blockers/antagonists

This is our female antagonist/under cover Emily:

We have subverted the stereotype as normal stereotypyes of females in films are normally that they are used as prizes for the main protagonist especially in thriller/action films. But instead in our film we have used the female as a prize but we have also used a twist as the female is always the antagonist and has power which isn't normally shown in films

this character is generally outgoing in the sense she'll try anything and do anything to be able to complete a task, she is also very quiet, shy, lacks in self confidence and likes to keep her problems to herself. She is seen as the dark horse in this film as nobody in the audience would guess she'd be behind it all.

The general connotations of this character are going to be one of hope as they will hope that the main protagonist saves her but at the end of the film they are going to feel shocked when they find out shes behind it all and then hatred for her

This is our first blocker:

It supports the stereotype of big strong looking blockers.The profile of this character isn't going to be shown much but he is cocky and arrogant. He will also be playing the role as Russian hit man.

The connotations of this character will be hate and fury to him, this will be because when he is on screen he will be doing things to go against the protagonist and when the audience have figured out that the whole film was a trap to cpature the protagonist they will also feel betrayed by the three blockers

This is our second blocker:

This supports stereotypes as the character is tall and mysterious looking epecially with the buff on, this then will draw the audience in as they won't truly know what he is going to do and his appearence presence will scare the audience

The profile of this character is that he is generally a quiete, shy person, but he is fearful as he has a meanacing look about him.

The connotations the audience will have about him will be one of fear, the audience won't like him but they'll think that he's not as bad as the other blocker, blocker 1 he is the most hated

This is our third blocker:


This character supports the stereotype for blockers in thriller/action films as he is tall and can look pretty scary when he is walking up e.g. in our film when he is walking up the alleyway

This character will have a dark personality, he will be feared, he acts mysteriously and he will be fairly cocky. This blocker is the leader of the three blockers The connotations the audience will have will be hate and fear
 
This is one of our main antagonist (but the audience won't know this form watching the trailer) John:





This character is a typical stereotypical main antagonist as he is; mysterious, the audience won't know much about him, he isn't shown until the end of the movie to know his role in the film and also he isn't very threatening looking this is because he'll have three bigger hit man, but he also looks like he would kill someone if need be. The audience won't really get to know this character that much but they will find out that he is mysterious, a bit weird with his methods of hunting people down, he's ruthless and persistent when hunting people down. The connotations of him will be confusion as he will present a lot of enigma codes and he's not going to be liked by the audience
