2. A protagonist is a person who is the leading character in a play/film. It is usually an ordinary person in an extraordinary situation. Our protagonist is challenges the typical protagonist because you aren't sure what he has done or if he is good or bad. And you don’t really see him much but he is the link between the characters. On the other hand we don’t know so he could have stumbled in danger which would be fitting to the normal thriller conventions. Our protagonist’s makeup would suggest that he is been hurt but we don’t know the reasons but from his acting we feel sympathy for him.

3. An antagonist is the principal character in opposition to the protagonist or hero of a narrative or drama. Our antagonist isn’t known to the audience and has a hidden identity which will be revealed during the film, all we see is his/her legs. This adds to the enigma because you don't know who they are or what they are going to do. This is a usual convention for the antagonists because it adds suspense and makes the audience question the situation.

4. Iconography is the images or symbols that are associated with something. It is also what makes it iconic. For example our thriller uses iconography because it uses a knife to suggest danger and harm. We also use rope (which is conventional) to show that he is trapped and can’t break free. Our location starts with and big open space then we have our protagonist in an isolated area which suggest he is trapped.

5. One of our intentions of our thriller was to build tension we did this by using the footsteps of the person walking. The footsteps represent a time limit because they are moving closer and closer to where our protagonist is held captive. We made them pop up and only have snapshots of them so build suspense. We also slipped in different snapshots of our protagonist, this is also to add a scene of panic and you as the audience start to anticipate something happening.

6. We have many different themes in our thriller for example isolation, violence and mystery. We chose to use these so that the audience were shocked by the brutality of the protagonist’s cuts and blood stains. The mystery is the anonymous footsteps which make the audience question why they have been put in.
