The gender group represented from both characters is male. This follows stereotypes as in the media men are seen to be more powerful than women, this gives the can give audiences a sense of fear they may not have from a psychotic female protagonist. Both characters share the same serious expression as they stare straight into the camera, this could indicate that they are both dangerous, confident and in control. The characters have similarities in the form of their posture, expression and attitudes, however there are many differences between both characters, firstly the character Tom from our opening sequence is a teenager whereas the character from the movie Ichi The Killer is an adult. This represents stereotype of age as teenagers and adult males are predominantly used in thriller films as they portray danger more convincingly than a young child or an elderly man. Both characters have similar hairstyles (long, wavy) but the character in our film (Tom) has darker hair and the character from Ichi The Killer has light blonde hair. Also our character has his face semi-hidden in a mask whereas the character from Ichi The Killer has his face and scars on show - both portray dangerous, extreme and unstable characters.
