The ultimate antagonist villain in our short film is the character of Igor. Igor (played by Harry Cockayne) is a key high ranking member of the Syndicate International who is out to hunt the protagonist character Jack Morgan for the map which he possesses to a Swiss vault. Igor hires a bounty hunter called Crimson to hunt Jack down and bring him to a remote location where he will be interrogated by Igor's colleague Zeb, Crimson and the help of Igor when he eventually arrives. Igor like most typical Action/Adventure villains is portrayed as very mysterious, powerful and extremely manipulative who demands his workers to complete the job no matter the circumstances. Jack Morgan (protagonist character) was a former worker of the Syndicate and employee of Igor, however Jack eventually left the organisation to pursue his goal of finding peace and defending his country as newly recruited agent for MI6.
The image above is a moodboard I created which denotes images of what Alex and I imagine as being Igor for this short film. He will wear a black suit, white shirt and black tie which will demonstrate his wealth and intimidating character when on set. The suit is a typical costume worn by either agents or highly sophisticated criminals that are typically seen in Action/Adventure films such as "Hitman: Agent 47". The image below is an example of a sophisticated criminal from Hitman called John Smith, who is wearing a very expensive suit.
Alex and I decided that Harry Cockayne was going to be our actor to play the role of Igor in this short film. Harry's physical appearance plays to his advantage since he already looks older for his age then most teenagers do at 17 years old, which in turn will make our audience believe more that he fits perfectly in the role of a action/adventure film criminal. Harry was a great antagonist villain in our Opening Sequence at AS and we therefore wanted to re-cast him this year as the new antagonist character for this short film. We will message him in prior to the first filming day on the 18th November which is rapidly approaching!
