The characters in our sequence are very common characters of the action thriller genre, but our opening sequence also creates enigma surrounding these characters, leaving the audience vunerable to twists in the storyline.
Characters:
BAD GUY:
We included a typical, but modern, 'bad guy' in our sequence. Dressed in black with a balaclava and a gun, this is a very common character associated with action thrillers. They usually say very little.
GOOD GUY:
Matthew Lockwood, is our typical good character in the opening sequence. He is young, inexperienced, scared, careless, and eventually he inevitably get caught and captured by the 'bad guy'.
The two characters used in our opening sequence are ones conventional of the action thriller film genre, and this familiarity to real media allows the audience to easily relate to the characters and the situation.
For example, COMPARE:
Left: OUR modern 'bad guy' from Blackout.
Right: 24's 'Tony Almeida'- Real Media 'bad guy'.
Except for the balaclava, both characters are dressed more or less the same, in all black armed with a handgun. This is the typical conventional dress of the modern terrorist/bad guy/assasin!
