Charley Brewster(left) is the main character from Fright night. Both characters have similiar facial expressions of fear and they both have their heads turned towards the camera trying to see whether something is there. They are both wearing casual clothes such as a jumper, however Jordan is wearing a body warmer jacket on top of his jumper, a hat and hood. Although the boys seem scared they look like they are on guard ready to fight. The settings differ in the pictures, Charley is in a tight space pulling a handle for a door. This represents young boys as defenseless because he has no where to run in that tiny room. In contrast Jordan is outdoors in the woods however the same represention can be interpreted becuase the woods is so big that Jordan wouldn't know where the supernatural force could be hiding. I chose the character from fright night because the storyline of the film is similiar to ours aswell. Both boys find themselves in a situation against a supernatural force they have to get out of or fight. In Jordans case it is the supernatural force of voodoo which he has to solve and stop whereas Charley's is the supernatural force of a vampire who he has to prevent from killing his loved ones. Overall I think that young teenage boys are being presented as ordinary especially by their clothes, vunerable becuase of the fear on their facial expression and settings but at the same time strong enough to take on extraordinary forces.
