Character Types

Character Types

Within Thrillers and Micro-Elements used in their Portrayal

Handsome Hero-Commonly masculine Usually has a large significant involvement in the movie or the movie is completely based around him, for example Batman. They usually only have one weakness like Achilles who could only be killed if shot in the heel, in the film Troy. The weakness is usually exposed during the film for the audience to see.
 The hero never saves the day empty handed he is usually equipped with some sort of a weapon, martial-art or power. Which he will use to defeat the enemy/ bad guy. the camera usually shows the whole of his body to show how physically fit he is, so the audience can judge whether he is a stereo typical hero or if hes out of the ordinary.
 Mise-en-scene is used to show his initiative or to make him stand out for example a costume is sometimes used to make him stand out from ordinary people. This makes us focus on the main charter instead of getting side-tracked.
