We decided to base our main protagonist played by George on Edward Norton's character in the film Fight Club. This is because they both had several simlilaralities, not just on how they look but on their personalities and the problems they face. They both are common people who have normal life's and jobs which is shown through the plain casual clothes they each wear. We made sure that George wore plain clothes to get this across to the audience that he is just a normal person. The whole idea of this is to show how he would change throughout the film and shows how his mental problems would affect him.
In fight club Edward Norton's character meets someone called Tyler Durden played by Brad Pitt who he quickly befriends. He almost sees him as a role modal and an escape from his boring everyday life. Tyler plays a big part on Edward Norton, changing totally who he is. They both set up a fight club, but things start to get out of hand and they fallout. Tyler starts doing things which Edward's Norton's character doesn't agree with. In the end it turns out that Tyler is actually apart of Edward's character and is actually just a figment of his imagination. Tyler is actually his dark personality taking over which he is not aware of. We thought this was a great twist and tried to incorporate it into our own character in our film.
Many of Edward Norton's mannerisms influenced us when we were thinking of characters for our film, and this film and character gave us many ideas on how to make the audience feel uneasy and make them ask many questions about the particular character. This was because we wanted to create several enigmas and wanted our audience to question everything about the opening, especially our character and the strange problem he has. As normal as our character looks, he is very unique because of these blackouts he seems to get at the time twelve. Our character does horrific things in these blackouts he seems to get and has no control over and no recall of what has happened when he wakes back up. He then has the question in his head of why he is doing this and has to do something before this happens again.
The difference between the two characters is that our character is aware of his mental illness, while Edward Norton's character isn't. This was so we could develop on our character more to show how he is affected throughout the film. This is key to a film, as we found from our research, because it helps engage the audience as it makes them actually care about the character and what happens to them.
