character analysis in pairs.

                                    

1)Baggy and grubby looking clothing suggests to us that the character is poor or does not have a home. Beads other items that are tied to hair also implies that the character has a lot of keepsakes that he keeps with him at all times. This also tells us that the character has a lot of adventures. This makes the character more appealing to the audience. The character’s movement is also as though he is drunk. This is perhaps a reference to the pirate’s love of rum. This characteristic makes the character seem more amusing to the audience. His luck and wit also draws the audience towards the character. The character is also given a air of mystery as we hear storys of some of his antics. He also has physical aspects of mystery as he has dark eye make-up and several belts, pockets and ribbons about his character.
2)

This character always wears long black robes that are very plain, this contrast greatly with his greyish shade of skin which draws attention to his skin being a strange colour suggesting that he is a magical person. He also moves very slowly when he is on camera, this also makes him seem more mystical and strange to the audience. The audience takes a dislike to this character, apart from being the main characters antithesis but also because he is very sly and has a quite, raspy and disturbing voice. His turns of phrases are also quite morbid and he has an obsession with power. When he is on the screen there is usually a dark green light or a cold filter on the camera. He is a very tall character and has an air of arrogance as he moves majestically and elegantly.

3) created character:
A young (12-14) orphaned boy from the early nineteenth century who lives on the streets scavenging for food and other daily necessities in a peasant town. His character is very cheeky and he could perhaps be getting into brushes with the law a lot when he is stealing or pick-pocketing. Despite his cheeky and carefree exterior he could be secretly unhappy about being orphaned or abandoned by his parents and searching for answers could be his plight throughout the narrative.

Appearance: To make him look poor he could be wearing dirty and ripped baggy clothing. Instead of wearing a belt he could have a piece of rope. He could also keep valuable items he has stolen in his pockets at all times to show he is skilled at stealing and untrustworthy of other people. The background could be a cold London market that is very dirty and has market traders going about their lives. The lighting would be bright and of a warm colour to show his good natured side. His body language could perhaps be like that of Billy Casper of cult hit ‘kes’, often slouching, very ploddy but when confronted, witty and agile. in the picture they could be looking around for anyone watching him as he tries to steal some fruit from a fruit stand in the market square.
