A sophisticated tailor who enjoys her down-time by sewing with her machine to some classicals, such as Beethoven, Chopin, and Debussy. She preys on the vengeful, those who have caused such catastrophes to both, herself and society. For those, have to be put down, laid on their deathbed, and set for funeral services.

Outline of the characteristics: ethical, fair, friendly, patient, calm and collected (at all times).

Persona: highly organised, takes photographic evidence, has deadlines to meet 

Self: enjoys downtime, particularly with classical’s accompanying.



Dream Casting:

In terms of dream casting, I would cast Jodie Comer's character from Killing Eve, Villanelle as my main character, as her personality and character consists of manipulation, humour and irony, as her works are mainly playful and she isn't too serious about her acts of violence. Equally, she has very recognisable psychopathic traits, including high self-regard, superficial responses to emotional situations, lack of remorse/guilt, and overall, a pathological liar.

I would also cast Amy Dunne from Gone Girl, as her character is represented as being innocent and pure, whilst she actually is not and a very good deceptive liar. This is especially shown when she frames her husband for her apparent murder, but actually her murder hasn't happened and she's still alive, somewhere. 



However, for other side characters, I'm not entirely sure who I would cast, as the side characters are only shown for one particular scene and are therefore not shown during a long period of time.

Evaluation   1. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Narrative  Narrative of my film : a killer hidden in plain sight, in the position of love/caring, i.e. someone who we trust. My narrative is essentially a  well-known tailor with an alter ego of a serial killer, who kills by night, and is a tailor by day.  Their motive is not fully known, it’s rather personal and a mystery for the audience to uncode and discover. Her motive is past trauma, and her killings are a testament to her emerging from her trauma and growing. As compared to traditional Thriller openings, my opening features a serial killer who kills with a sharp, deadly object — this is conventional of the thriller openings, as most main characters are either murderers, serial killers, spies, etc, They who kill.  However, my character doesn’t kill with traditional weapons, but rather a needle, something they’re very familiar with and uses everyday, therefore imp

Credit Structure   The Task we had to carry out was to analyse the opening credits to identify what type of credits you get in a typical Hollywood film and in what order they are shown in, and therefore what should be included in our own opening titles.  Time Stamps: 1. Production credits i.e. the studios  2. Lead actors/actresses  3. Movie title  4. Supporting actors/actresses  5. Pre-production credits  6. Post-production credits  7. Cinematography, written and directed by (main production)  majority of the credits play for about 4-5 seconds

Target Audience

  Target audience  The outfit  'The Outfit' is a movie based on a tailor who produces clothes for top end people, who also happen to be criminals of a large gang and in order to outsmart he needs to outsmart them. I chose to use this movie as my target audience research solely because it involves a tailor who makes custom clothes for the higher/upper classes, just as my own character does.  - Mostly males may watch this movie, as it has heavy gun artillery and lots of killings and blood. Equally, mainly men are the self-proclaimed, “antagonists”, and they carry guns and seems to try/do overpower the others.  - 25-34 year olds would watch this because they may go to the tailor  for custom-made clothing, rather than significantly older people.  -  The main lead is an old, male tailor, who makes suits and clothes accustomed to family gangs of crime.   - Mainly upper class persons account for 39% of the whole 68% of class, and are therefore more likely to watch the film as it has u
