Characters used

As we only had two characters in our trailer we were able to task our minds with much more determination on those two characters and use our creativity to create what we thoughts was the best costumes which we could find at that time, as we bunched together some things such as a trench coat, a horse mask and a Kukri blade for the antagonist. Also seeing as the two characters did not talk much due to us deciding on not including any dialogue, we pondered on the thought that it would make them seem just emotionless and vague characters which is extremely boring, since horrors generally rely on creating a stereotype such as in teenage horror films where a powerful murderer finds and usually ends up killing the group of teenagers, each inevitably being given a certain way of behaving, such as the blonde girl usually being the first to be killed as well as the smart nerdy dude being killed second to last with one of the quiet female characters. With the protagonist we hoped that we could apply some kind of emotion to him, which we did but it was hard to spot, as the only expression you could get from him was pain. In human nature we generally feel bad if we see something in pain and want to help it to some extent, which is why we tried to show the protagonist as a vulnerable and somewhat impeccant person.
