This document compares and contrasts two characters - Craig McDermott from a film opening and Mr. Harvey from The Lovely Bones. Both characters are psychopaths. While Craig has been a victim of trauma, Mr. Harvey has killed and sexually assaulted others. Their costumes appear normal to not draw attention, despite their psychological issues. Shots of Craig were made to appear powerless and vulnerable to gain audience empathy. The music in the film opening was chosen to set the mood for a psychological thriller without revealing too much.
