'James' unlike our main character ( The Girl ) , has a identity and given name which is revealed later on in the film. He is a stereotypical teenager that seems to be confident and nothing extravagant of the basics of society. We first are introduced to James at the start of the clip as he is walking past an abandoned house with his mate on a normal day.
As the clips goes on we realise James enjoys an adventure and after some convincing from his friend he continues to explore the run down house. Certain shots show James anxiety as he soon realises the house is currently being habited by 'The Girl'. James is a very important part of the clip, unlike his mate he manages to escape which clashes with the stereotypical view that the male gender is more superior in horrid situations. It works effectively as it give the clip a twist and keeps the audience engaged in the film.
Costume choice...
After discussing the character roles in the clip we decided that his costume couldn't be to extreme and nothing he wouldn't wear on a normal day. We wanted the costume to be casual and black jeans , black t-shirt and a red jacket fitted in we'll with these demands.
However we made sure the costume was not random and their had to be some relevance, the fact the jacket is red show's their is a sense of danger and aggression. Red is a enhancing colour and draws attention to certain situations that are occurring. Throughout the clip is allows the audience to acknowledge James's desperation to get out the house and to safety.
The costume may be to casual but that is what we are trying to justify abnormal situations can having on a day to day basis and the red jacket highlights the tension caused.
