Scary Mask - Either Clown or Duck
Based on the idea of our thriller being a school massacre, we wanted the antagonist to help give the thriller a subtle horror idea to it. By using a scary mask this does that as it makes the main antagonist look more scary and frightening. As well as this, it helps to create a more of a cliff hanger as you want to find out who is under the mask which helps to create thrilling moments which is what we are aiming for as a whole.
Shotgun - The main antagonists weapon
We chose a shotgun as the main antagonists weapon of choice for a number of reasons. Firstly, by using a gun it creates a more tense affect and creates a more massacre feel as the ant(antagonist) is going in without a silencer or pistol and shooting anyone who steps in his path. The explosive sound of a shotgun helps to portray this. The recklessness of the sound of a firing shotgun helps to emphasise the violence of the character rather than a little pistol.
The main antagonist wears leather gloves for two reasons. Firstly, he wears them to cover his identity, so you cannot see what colour skin he is or any other hand feature. Secondly, so that he doesn't get any DNA on anything he touches which makes a more exciting film as the police will find it harder to catch him as he leaves no evidence. This helps to create a more exciting thriller as you cannot see who the person is as they are wearing clothing on any part of their body to stay covered.
Headphones
Whilst on his massacre, the ant will be wearing old walkman headphones. This will create a small comical effect and is very contrasting. This will be comical as the ant will be listening to classical music as this helps to keep him concentrated as if he doesn't to the music, he goes out of control rather than staying relaxed walking round a school shooting people. This is very contrasting as the calm peaceful classical music is nothing like the loud gunshots and cries of people dying beyond the sound of the headphones.
