I have chosen a character from the opening scene of Strangers, this is because both of the characters have similar features, but there are a few differences. The main difference between the two characters is that the character from The Missing is a stereotypical teenager because of the clothing he is wearing, and you can tell that the character from Strangers is a girl because of the long blonde hair. One of the first similarities is that both of the characters are masked. Whereas the character from the film Strangers has an edited masked to show that she is a girl character. They have done this by adding make-up to the mask (blusher). This is a difference to our character because we have only made our mask plain white as it’s a male character. Also the clothing of both characters are different because our character is wearing a hooded jacket where as the character from Strangers is just wearing a plain green shirt Both characters have similar roles within the films, acting as the killer throughout the film, moving from scene to scene.
