SCARS- research

Scars are most commonly known for shaping a character’s identity. One of the most famous examples is harry potters ‘z’ scar. It has huge significance as it used to build up his powers. Another famous example is the joker from Batman. His scar is a permanent smile, which leads him to become the ‘Joker’. From looking at these examples we have decided to use a scar for our film opening because we feel it will express our character’s ability. In addition scars are also used as entertainment as it helps to create a person’s identity. In our opening the character (little boy) picks up an arrow, which leaves a permanent change to his body. We felt that a scar will show the characters personal history and will foreshadow later events.
