Character - Protagonist

Costume
- Dressed smartly but slightly shabby - suggestion of previous action that has led to onscreen events
- Long coat
- Dark clothing, ominous but not necessarily indicative of the antagonist
- Potential places to draw on for costume inspiration are Misha Collins in 'Supernatural', Taylor Kitsch in 'X Men Origins: Wolverine', and David Tennant in 'Doctor Who'.

  

This is the Costume mood board that I put together for my pre production proposal, although I still like the look that I had here I feel like it ought to be a little more disheveled in order to preserve the 'everyman' image and suggest some previous hardship:



Character

- The character is an 'everyman' who has been driven to dark things, this means he should appear dangerous and ominous, but not as a 'bad guy'. The voiceover ought to prevent him appearing as a villain or the antagonist of the film.
- Inspiration for the character comes from characters such as John McClane from 'Die Hard', Roger Thornhill from 'North by Northwest', and the Batman character Two-Face, specifically in 'The Dark Knight'.
- The McClane and Thornhill influences give the character the sort of everyday person feel, his ordinary, usually mild mannered appearance that has gone dark.
- This character has an air of serenity and level headedness around them, as though he's accepted his 'fate' or his role in life, thus he moves with deliberate purpose. He has nothing left, and thus nothing to lose. He is solely driven by his quest for revenge. These aspects come mostly from the Two-Face influence
