The document discusses the character research for a film. The antagonist is based on Jack the Ripper, who was never caught, and the film uses an enigma code and avoids showing the antagonist's face to keep their identity a mystery. The two main inspirations for the protagonist are Patrick Bateman from American Psycho for his confident and intimidating personality, and Leonardo DiCaprio for portraying greedy characters. The protagonist will start confident but become less so when confronting the antagonist.

1. Character
research
By Jack Francois

2. Antagonist
The antagonist in our film is based on the real life character of Jack the Ripper.
Jack the ripper was a infamous murder in the Victorian era who was never caught
or found out. We wanted the audience to figure out who the antagonist was and
therefor we have a enigma code within our film. An enigma code allows the
audience to question certain points within the film and makes the audience want
to know who the antagonist is. Throughout our opening scene you do not see the
antagonist’s face and therefore leaves the audience in mystery and makes them
want to know who it is.

3. Protagonist
Two characters inspired our main protagonist which are Patrick
Bateman and Leonardo DiCaprio. Firstly Patrick Bateman was a main
inspiration of ours due to his personality in the wolf of wall street for
example how confident he is makes him a very powerful and
intimidating character which we will like our protagonist to act at the
start of the film then near the end this will be juxtaposed with him
turning less confident and powerful due to the antagonist. Moreover we
chose Patrick Bateman for his greed for money which will be a main
factor of are protagonist. Furthermore Patrick Bateman acts very
deviant in his work which we want our protagonist to act like to give a
negative representation of the character in our opening sequence.
