Above centre, we have a picture of our antagonist Alex, wearing a mask and blue overalls. This is different to the picture above left, which is of Jason from the Friday the 13th sequel. The similarities between them both is their personality, that they both kill as they go along, that they wear a mask, and that they wear blue overalls. They both have a grand stature as well, which makes people run from them. There is a difference in appearence between them both because, Alex is just a teenager wearing a mask and blue overalls, but Jason is an adult, and he carries a machette, not a knife, which makes him look more scary. He is also already dead, whereas Alex is not.
The role in the film between them both, is that they go around killing people, but a difference is that Jason just kills for no reason, whereas Alex is killing those who bullied him in the past. This is the same as 20 years ago, when Edward Wolfe was bullied, he killed those who bullied him, unable to control his anger. Alex is like the reincarnation of Edward, but he is trying to fight off Edward, who is trying to take over his body. This is totally different to Jason, as there is less of a storyline to Legacy.
The lighting however, between the two pictures is different. This is because Jason kills outside only, whereas Alex kills inside and out, as he was originally inside the college building. Jason has high key lighting in the picture, because he's highlighted by bright light, which is why we don't feel as much tension as we do in Alex's picture. Alex is in a sort of low key lighting, with artificial light around him, which gives more of the tension and fear.
The character positioning is different as well, as we see Alex more over to the right of frame, and Jason in the centre of the frame. This also gives the tension because Alex is a stronger character, as Jason looks quite weak.
