Character Development

Main character: The main character of the this story is Aaron a boy aged around 19-20 and after witnessing a crime his brother (Oscar) is murdered, after oscars death Aaron seeks out revenge on the person/ group that unjustifiably killed his family member. Aaron is not the typical person to become a vigilante and perhaps is slightly unprepared to try and take on these killers, however he is determined to have revenge, though he sees it as fair justice for what has happened. he has quite a mature vision of the world and behaves perhaps older than expected of someone just turning 20. Aaron has a personality that is similar to other characters like:
Joel from the last of has the ability to become hardened to a point where he has almost lost a sense of morals as he sees that what he is doing for the greater good and therefore has little remorse when dispatching people in the way of his goals and in this chase Aaron's goal of to avenge his brothers death. (this is an idea of what  Aaron personality will evolve into as he evolves through the story)


He would dress in quite casual clothes and this make him blend in with others as he doesn't wear anything that would stand out or catch attention of others. This also make the audience find him quite relatable and this would help allow them to understand why they are doing what they are doing as he would probably dressing a similar way to the majority of the target audience.

The antagonist: This character is a seriously hardened murderer and seems to have no remorse when he kills people, as we seen him kill twice within the opening of the move with no real thought, he possibly even enjoys killing people as he could have left oscar beaten and on the brink of death but chooses when all of the other criminals in his group have left to "finish him off". he falls under the category of villains who "just want to see the world burn" in many ways he is just a darker and more extreme version of Aaron. the character or our antagonist is resembled in character like:
I feel that our villain is a milder version of the joker as he want to create this anarchy by killing Oscar  and follow some of the unpredictable nature of the joker, however he is not like the joker in the way that he is quite careful in not getting caught and this is the main reason for oscars death.
The appearance of our antagonist is similar to that of count Olaf in a series of unfortunate events, he wears quite dark clothing in clothes that are also possibly quite old fashioned. he appearance may also imply that he is slightly unhinged. But also we have made the decision to give him a tattoo on his wrist of an eye to allow the audience to identify the murderer without seeing his face. this is similar to the tattoo that Olaf has on his ankle which is also of an eye.
