We have 3 characters in our opening. The protagonist Carl he is portrayed as a high class working man. This is shown through the way that he dresses and the house that he lives in. The way he dresses shows he is a working class man as he is wearing leather shoes, black jeans and a smart shirt and this is typically what working class men ware. His wealth is also shown by his house as you would expect a working class man to live in a house like he does. Throughout the opening there are not really any close ups of Carl this is because he is not an aggressive person and that's what audiences think when close ups occur so we didn't want the audience to think that if an close up did occur.
Carl is portrayed as a kind and brave person this is shown when he returns the package to its owner, and he is brave when he gets kidnapped even though he might be shaken up he is still keeping a brave face on and not showing any fear toward the other 2 characters. Bravery and kindness is something that you would expect from a character like carl as he is a police officer. We wanted to portray Carl like a stereotypical police officer to give that felling of suspense as he might have enemies because of who he is.
The other two character are our antagonist and theses characters are portrayed as lower class people and criminals as they are wearing hoodies and hoodies and stereotypically warn by criminals. This then gives the audience the idea that they are criminals and then it is later on proven that they are by what they do to Carl. They are represented through mise en scene and the camera work. You only see the antagonist with a close up and this shows that they are aggressive people. Also the room is dark to show that the characters come from a dark background, this gives the audience and idea on what sort of people they are.
