For this task i have chosen to look at Zoe's character from when she first properly appears in the dream sequence,i am going to look at the similarities and differences of her character and a character from the grudge as i feel they can be comparable both are representable for a typical horror genre character.i personally think that this is the most comparable character to Zoe because ....
- They both stalk their victims in an animistic manner
both have a lost look in their eyes when on screen displaying their animal side to them
Both have extremely dark hair which contrast against their very pale skin, this can give a sense of undead
Unlike the grudge in the opening two minutes of our film you do get to see Zoe's character start following her victim through the dream sequence
In terms of costume they both wore different types of clothing but they had similarities, the grudge wore ragged normal clothes( to display poverty and uncleanness) whereas Zoe wore a cape to go against traditional horror norms, which gave our own little twist on the story. The cape proved to be very useful as it highlights her movements as well as hiding Zoe's body, camouflaging her so that she can watch Ana from a distant with out being noticed also the cape kind of gave Zoe's character a sense of wildness (Especially since it was windy when we filmed it, allowing certain shots to contrast against the stillness of the other shots.)
In The Grudge the character uses slow, sly movements , which allows the increase of tension as well as making the audience feel uneasy which is the type of effect we wanted for Zoe. However for Zoe's character we tried to use her facial expressions to make the audience feel uneasy we done this by having close up of her face but we also used elements of slow movement for this to . As for Roles of the two characters their aim is very similar to find the prey...and killing it! This is meant to make the audience feel uncomfortable as it is a Horror/Fantasy film.
