Character types

Character Types

-Character types within thrillers and micro-elements (CEMS) used in their portrayl

The character trope that i have choosen is the 'silent but strange';

-This being someone thats silent/keeps to themselves with a strange sense of attitude and always creeps around everyone. 

This is a diagram of all the ideas I could think of that this type of character may be like when shown in a film. For example I thought that most characters shown of this nature are ones that like to keep to themselves, this linking too them wanting to spend most of their time alone and by themselves not associating themselves with anyone else.

An example of a film that relates to this character is Natalie Portman who plays Nina Sayers in the film the Black Swan. Here is the trailer of the film which I found on youtube after typing in 'The Black Swan Movie Trailer':

We can see just from watching the trailer that some of the traits that I have thought of in the diagram correspond and are extremeley similar to Nina whos plays the main character in the film. Shes odd, and eery, and keeps to herself alot of there time and doesent let anyone in on how she feels this gives us the perfect indication that she is almost identical to the character trope of 'Silent but Strange'.
