Protagonists and Antagonists

Protagonist: A protagonist is the main character in the story, such as a literary work or drama. The protagonist is at the centre of the story, should be experiencing the consequences of those decisions. The protagonist can affect the main characters decisions and should be always moving the story forward.

 Antagonist: An antagonist is a character, group of characters, institution or concept that stands in or represents opposition against which the protagonist must contend. In other words, an antagonist is a person or a group of people who opposes a protagonist.

In the classic style of stories where the action consists of a hero fighting a villain/enemy, the two may be regarded as protagonist and antagonist, respectively. However, the villain of the story is not always the same as the antagonist, as some narratives cast the villain in the protagonist role, with the opposing hero as the antagonist.

For our project, our Protagonist doesn't follow the typical stereotypes as such however it is clear he is the one the audience are meant to side with and this is Isaac's character.

In the trailer you can clearly see who is intended to be the Protagonist and Antagonist. Because Isaac is well dressed and clean whereas Jak is covered in blood the first thing the audience will assume is Jak is the antagonist as he has killed or injured something or someone enough to get that amount of blood on him.
