Character - Darius JB

Character - Darius JB

Ed Warren
This character stars in a film called The Conjuring. He is a kind of hero and saves all of them from the witch haunting their house. He is very similar to our character and like our character he doesn't die at the end. He is also brave and fairly strong as well as being smart at dealing with ghosts. The only noticeable difference from our character is the fact that he's a bit older and maybe our character wont be religious. He will have a completely different costume and look as well. We've taken mainly the tone and personality of this character to apply to ours.

John Hartigan
This character is from a film called Sin City. The thing i've taken from this character is his costume. His costume is pictured below. He wears a suit and a leather jacket which is mainly what I want my character to wear. However the actor will be much younger in our film.

Curt Vaughan
This character is from a film called The Cabin in the Woods. He is the jock type character, well built and young. The part of this character we're applying to ours is the general look, fairly young and strong. Looks brave and tough. He is pictured below.



Darius
The character I'll be looking at is the Ghost Hunter. His role in the film will be the hero. You see him near the start of the trailer as he's called in by the police as they can't find any evidence in the death of the man in the woods. When he says something supernatural killed him none of the police believe him and he is mocked. He is sent away from the crime scene and he goes home. Later on you see him again go to the crime scene late at night to see if he can find some new evidence, this is when he hears a scream of the main girl after the group of teenagers have been attacked by this supernatural being in the woods. He goes in to help them and the rest of the movie is about them trying to survive and in the end it's just the Ghost Hunter and the girl who survive, who perhaps have a bit of a romance going on throughout the film. His type of character will be someone who isn't taken seriously because not many people believe in the ghosts but he turns out to be right in the end. This character usually dies in these films but in an attempt to distance myself from the stereotypical horror films i'm going to keep him alive. We shall name him Darius because it sounds like a strong man's name but also that he might have a softer side, like with the girl.

Darius's costume will be very stereotypical of a detective type character. For the part where he's at the crime scene with all the other policeman etc he will be in a suit, trench coat and possibly a trilby with smart black shoes. Pictured below.
 

His costume when he goes back to the crime scene to investigate more will be more casual. This is the part when he hears the girl scream and runs in, to help and to save them. His costume will be jeans, t shirt and maybe a leather jacket or jacket of some sort with casual trainers, fairly casual and normal. Pictured below.
