We chose to stick to the character conventions in
horror/thrillers in that we had a strong athletic built man with his identity
concealed which made it impossible to mistake the character for anything but
the villain.
Our media piece represents the typical stereotype of a criminal in
England also known as hoodies.

Hoodies are characteristically in the age range
of 16-25 and tend to work in groups formed around a particular estate. However
crimes associated with these sorts of criminals are usually petty such as theft
or bad language but in our product the shooting scene comes as a great surprise.
Predominantly we decided to choose this theme of social group as we didn’t want
to reveal the face of the murderer at the opening scene. We carefully chose the
correct clothing for Jack as we wanted to fulfil the criteria and stereotype of
a hoody without overdoing it. Furthermore we tried to be as subtle as we could
with colours as it would be a ridiculous move for a criminal to be clothed in
striking apparel. In the scene where Jack reverses the car, we can see he drove
past two pedestrians which would likely be questioned as they were in the
vicinity at the time of the incident thus being unable to identify Jack would create
more suspense and tension throughout the series.
