All media texts - whether they're documentaries, television news segments or newspaper articles - are constructed. Films are no exception and, when it comes to crafting a story, filmmakers carefully consider how they will use the language of film to establish characters and engage the audience. In this unit, we're going to take a look at how villains are established and developed in films. We will describe how codes and conventions are used to establish these characters in a variety of films and think about some of the values that might influence their characterisation. For this unit of work you will: create a mockup movie poster about a villain; analyse the representation of villains in feature films; storyboard a sequence establishing a villain; script, record and edit a radio drama featuring your villain; shoot a short sequence establishing this villainous character.
