Inspirations and similarities our antagonist with other antagonist/twisted protagonists of other films

The Joker from Batman
The joker is a twisted character who laughs and make amusement of causing mayhem that causes lives of the public. 'Throughout his comic book appearances, the Joker is portrayed as a master criminal whose characterization has varied. The original and currently dominant image is of a highly intelligent psychopath with a warped, sadistic sense of humor...' extracted from the wikipedia page of  the term 'Joker (comics)'.
Our antagonist does have an 'excuse' for his harsh/heartless actions but he still is similar to the joker as he's behavior shows he  has a sadistic humor because he likes to talk with his victims and inform them what he's about to do them. This not only is twisted but an extreme example of evil in a human being as his victims have to make the decision whether or not to believe him. When the decision is made both effects are too harsh on the victim as they can  either believe him and  try to defend themselves like our victim (Tasha) does and fail to save their lives and be oppressed by inferiority as he pleasures in slaughtering them. Or they choose not to believe him and are choked by shock,stupidity and vulnerability all at once. This makes the victim not only have a horrible experience physically but mentally too,making our antagonist a feared character by the audience as he creates the image of an unsettling nice approaching teenager.

Heath ledger, acting as the batman showed the joker to be a fear superior character who is the most threatening person in Gotham city however has no known identity, as well as he shows no sign of fear ironically. Where as he is the main enemy of the Batman (the symbol of fearful good) in Gotham, its incredible that he doesn't care about anything not even poverty as he burns piles of million of dollars and makes him a horrific character as he is a symbol that is more than only a main nemesis of Batman but a symbol of tragedy.

    Our antagonist chases his victim down a public tunnel doing the early workplaces approaching hours of the morning, the fact that the audience can see her clearly running from danger in a well lit tunnel represents how easily she should be seen by passing commuters. Knowing this our antagonist still shows no sign of respect of the passing commuters and the chance of one of them attempting to save his new found victim but continues to be engrossed in the demented joy of the destruction of his victim. Both our antagonist and Heath's joker show no sign of human values of qualities as they both make insanity and overwhelming inhumanity their character and make it 'fashionable' as if they do not seem to contain any morals. However both characters get offered desirable things that so people many class as a treasure refuse it so it could be concluded that they both have standards and self-satisfaction and aren't enslaved by the evil they contain.

Hit-man and the Spirit
Hitman and the spirit have distinctive similarities in their appearances the spirit has a hat,a mask and hair but that is the only difference between them. Despite their race they look similar because they both wear black coats, black trousers, shirts and red ties. The original costume design for our antagonist consists of the same clothes the only difference between our antagonist and the film characters are the coats design as Martin intended to have the coat to be torn at the bottom that seemed to be the scratches of a wild animal. However as discussed before there was changes made because the common boundaries needed to be broken.

Freddy Krueger
Freddy Krueger is a vengeful character and takes out his bad appearances of a bad childhood and uses it as an excuse to cause harm and horror on the innocent. He is largely exaggerated as his intemperance is disfigured form that of a normal human being and will be a referenced horror character for years to come.


Our antagonist is a vengeful character who acts by the same principle he reminisces on his harsh experiences as a child and allows his experiences to be the fuel for his 'hobbies'.  

Extremily Time-Consuming Editing!!!!

Started Editing:   17/1/11

Finished Editing: 10/3/11
 Background of Macintosh and I

 We have been editing for about 4 weeks going on five for our video, at first the Macintosh interface was a bit hard to get used to, additionally a new program such as final cut pro.
 I have used Macintosh systems before and do have a 2-3 years experience of using them in a previous school, however this was 2 years ago and i haven't really used them since, so getting used to them again didn't take too long but Final Cut Pro was briefly introduced to me by a friend a while back but i didn't really research into more unaware that i will be using for a media a level so it was as if it was completely new to me. 

Cutting down 1.5-2hours of Film to 2mins.....AHHH!!!!!! 
 So when we first started editing, we looked what we captured and how certain parts were going to be shown and where they were going to be placed. It was then we discovered that we have at least 1.5 hours of film altogether but I was pleased with this, as i came to the conclusion we had a lot of film to choose from and editing would take a long time but a lot of effort will pay off. As i was camera-man myself and i filmed so of the video personally, I was shocked by the errors that were made but wasn't too concerned because i  had less editing to do, as we had many bunches of film. However I was disappointed by some errors because some parts of film i really liked shooting and was looking forward to using/including them for the final piece but as they had errors i couldn't use them. For example when I took film equipment to my main building for learning a levels which was a secondary school. It was here I shot the flashback scene. With euthanized year sevens whose acting skills weren't Oscar-winning performances but were good regarding that they were  no more than under 12 such short notice. I filmed different parts of the scene in so many angles and the some of best angles i had to give up unfortunately because i could be seen in a reflection of a nearby window (shown in the shot). If it was a slight reflection i may have been able to work around it but as it was blatant that i was filming in the shot i had to dispose of them. If we had discovered that I did this as soon as we started filming I could asked the young actors to perform once again to be observed by the eye of the camera, but I discovered this a week after filming and i had required a lot of the young students time already so I had to deal with what I had, favorably I didn't have any parts missing from the actual storyline because other angles of unusable shots were available to make use of.

  Now when I had selected all film that i thought was necessary I had 4minutes of film of a rough draft, then i was reminded that the examiner set aim was only two minutes so I had to get rid of two minutes of film without losing what makes our opening sequence unique. I also had to regard that the plot had to be preserved so the 2minutes version had to be sharper, be better than the rough copy and still make the plot clear to the audience at first watch.  I see this is from a professional perspective, so if we fail to capture the audiences attention and inform them with a basic background of the main character or what the film is about/to expect. No matter what grade we receive for our project we have failed as film-makers, this realisation placed pressure on me to make sure that our film met professional standards and didn't use our 'limited' media equipment as an excuse for looking primitive. After a week of editing I had the inhabited the success of cutting down the film to 2minutes but.......IT STILL LOOKED PRIMITIVE, so I looked at what effect we originally wanted to go for and what films and scenes were our main inspirations. Then I started to look the effects of stronger contrasts and enhancing highlights that just make the film look more cinematic and interesting. I also kept in mind that while I was adding effects I wasn't overdoing the editing and letting it mix well with film and other effects featured in the film and not just showing off my ability on final cut pro. I was pleased with the final result of adding these effects to the film as the changes made the film look more professional and not like a camcorder production.
