1. Saw (2004) In depth character analysis of a thriller
As I will be acting in our trailer Out Of Time, I wanted to find out more on character roles
in a thriller as that will be our genre. The movie I have decided to analyse is Saw because I
am a massive fan.
The main character is Jigsaw who is played by Tobin bell who is currently In his late 70s. This
is very similar to our trailer as our main character is played by an elderly man. In the saw
franchise, Jigsaw was once an engineer dying from cancer. He wanted to commit suicide but
after failing he started to appreciate life a bit more. However, he then started his only series
of games to test if other did just like him and these involved life and death which were full
of blood and gore.
Jigsaws character is very complex as he to himself thinks he is a heroin but really deeply and
truly can very come across as evil. This is due to him killing people who are not innocent but
the manner of the deaths are gore. Throughout the saw franchise is filled with thriller and
mystery.
In our trailer, I want to be able to appear as a very mysterious person to the audience so
they think to themselves who is it. I also want to spark fear in the audience aswell wbich
would have them asking a lot of questions.
