Analysing the Actors

How our actors fit into the thriller sub-genre:



Simon Wood: Taxi Driver

Our actor fits into thriller sub-genre; psychological because he has been diagnosed with a mental illness and he is a psychopath, who is a serial killer and enjoys the thought, sensation and the feeling of killing people in this specific way.

Actors similar in films:

Kevin Spacey - (Se7en)  The reason I have compared our actor to Kevin Spacey in Se7en is because they both both similar in the films they play. Kevin Spacey plays a serial killer in the film which demonstrates he has an obsession with killing people people and enjoys the feel and adrenaline he gets.

Arben Bajraktaraj - (Taken) He is an Albanian Criminal who is the leader of an illegal brothel and who sells young girls to other men. He was the main man who got Maggie Grace in Taken, kidnapped and sold.

Ben Kingsley - (Transsiberian) In this film Ben plays an Eastern European criminal who is a strong, dominant male.

Holly Gibbs: Victim 

This actress fits into our thriller sub-genre of psychological because she is a young vulnerable girl who gets herself caught up in a nightmare. She is unfortunate as she orders a cab and gets in a car with a psychotic man who is a serial killer, but she doesn't know this.

Actresses Similar in films: 

Maggie Grace - (Taken) I have compared my actress to Maggie Grace in the film take as he gets kidnapped and her family begin to look for her. As well as this the people that kidnap the girls are both from counties in Europe such as Albania and Moldova.

Drew Barrymore - (Scream) Our actress is similar to Drew in our film because, she is a weak, submissive young girl. This demonstrates her vulnerability as well as the contrast between our actor who is a strong, dominant male.
