The Antagonist From: Pretty Little Liars From my devised piece I have selected my antagonist in order to compare to Mona from antagonist role in Pretty Little liars. I will be comparing the similarities and differences. I will be talking about how both of there characters are presented through their costume, appearance and their role played within the film. 3. Similarities There are a number of similarities between these two antagonists. The first similarity that can be discussed about there two characters, is that they both have similar costumes. We decided to dress our antagonist in black boots, black trouser, a black hoody, a black top and black gloves because we wanted to bring the element of enigma through the black colour of clothing. The other similarity is that they are both at similar ages. Both of the actors are in there teens, the age of them are seen to be vulnerable, innocent and weak so the audience would think they are harmless. But the antagonist of both films are completely the opposite. This is a code and convention of a Thriller. In addition another similarity I have recognised after completing my final product is that the antagonists are not the first ones to be introduced. For instance with my devised piece, it start of with a lonely school girl walking her way out of school. But then after the antagonist is shown filming her from the tree. While on the other hand, Mona was introduced as a mate of Hanna and then discovered by Spencer that she was A. 4. Similarities Another similarity is that both of the antagonist are females that are tried to be shown as males. Many well-known thrillers involve a unknown figure dressed completely in black and is immediately recognised to be a typical antagonist for a thriller film. Through the reaction from the protagonist you are able to see that they are seen as a dangerous and negative character. Finally another similarity that I have recognised is that both of the antagonist use phones to cause harm. As with my devised piece the antagonist is filming the protagonist every move by her phone to upload it on YouTube and in pretty little liars Mona is using her phone to text the other girls to make them do things. EnigmaPretty Little Liars 5. Difference s As you can see, there are a number of similarities between my antagonist from Pretty Little Liars. However there are a few differences that I have seen. Firstly my antagonists face is not shown in my device piece but in pretty little liars Mona is shown in the black hoody. As in my device piece I would like the audience to think it is a male and then at the end of the film to be shocked as its a female. The element of not showing the antagonist is a code and convention of a horror and thriller. Also without showing the feature of the antagonist the audience are drawn more in and they would carry on watching to see who the antagonist is. Also another difference is that the antagonists use there phones for different uses. As my antagonist uses the phone to film the protagonist to put her murder on YouTube and Mona uses her phone just to text all the other girls for them to be blackmailed to do something for the antagonist. Decisively, it can be said that both characters are quite similar in the ways in terms of their appearance, costume and their role in the film. They also have their own unique selling points for the antagonist which in effect is a result of pretty little liars being such a successful programme and also helping me with my understanding and the way I portray my antagonist too. 6.
