Character - The Pursuer

Clothes, Props and General Appearance (Tyrone)

The pursuers face should never be fully visible - the only point at which the face should be seen (if at all) is to show a red scar covering half of his face. He will be wearing all black, a black hoodie with a black outer jacket and black jeans. This will give a sense of his mysteriousness, a lack of originality and identity but also a menacing quality with which we first get the sense the protagonist is being chased. The red scar on his face could resemble something like in Heartless, The film which would also give the audience the idea of blood. Because of this, the actor that plays the character doesnt matter too much as his personal features are not shown. His height and build are importnat however, and for this I would want a relatively high and well built person to again give off an heir of menace. I would also like to have him have a very similar build and height to the killer as this would bring in the idea of the psychological.



These clothes above highlight the annonimity of the character, no brands or distinguishable features but sill with the ability to look menacing. It also covers up most of the body, gloves may also be worn as well as the possibility of an outer jacket.

Inspirations for this sort of character are similar to the demons in Heartless, or even the main character in Heartless, as shown below. (Obviously without the supernatural feel, and with less visibility of the face.)

The main film I got the idea for the anonymous, hooded protagonist is F (2010) as shown below, with the face completely hidden but a mysterious feel to him.
