The document outlines character ideas for a title sequence featuring a female protagonist and male antagonist. It discusses feedback from a focus group indicating a preference for stereotypical damsel in distress and an unidentified male antagonist. Key characteristics are defined for each character. The female protagonist is intended to be vulnerable, young, relatable to audiences. The male antagonist is meant to be incredibly dominating, intimidating through shots, opposite the victim physically as an older male confronting a young female, with a dark and mysterious persona to create a negative relationship with viewers.

1. AUDITIONS AND
CHARACTER IDEAS

3. AFTER THE FEEDBACK…
• Following the focus group’s feedback on our original ideas we decided to build up
character profiles focusing on the two main characters e. g. the protagonist and
antagonist. In our survey we found the stereotypical damsel in distress of a
female victim was most preferred. For the antagonist, again from the feedback
received we felt an unidentified male would suite the these of our title sequence
the best.

4. As a group we decided on key characteristics we wanted our main characters to have:
• The female protagonist we wanted to be: Vulnerable, this may stem from her being
of a young age or her being oblivious to the situation around her, we also wanted her
to be relatable to the audience, this was an important factor as the viewers would be
able to relate to her and gain a gripping interest in our title sequence.
• The Male antagonist we wanted to be: Incredibly dominating, we want him to
provide an intimidating feel. This may be done through shots where he takes up the
majority of the scene or the music played when he’s in view of the shot. It was also
important for him to be the opposite the victim. This is physical in the fact he will be
an older male in contrast to a young female, he will also need to have a dark and
mysterious persona. This would also make him distant from the viewers as they
won’t be able to relate to him and therefore create a negative relationship with the
viewers.
