Character Description

Within a thriller film it is very important to have a variety of different characters as it allows the audience to understand your narrative of the film, it also lets the audience feel they have formed a relationship with the characters. This then lets the audience feel sympathy or anger towards different types of character.

The name of the attacker is unknown within our thriller film we have used this to create suspense and mystery as the audience don't know anything about the attacker. The age of the attacker is 20 years old, even though you cannot see the face of the attacker you can tell by his build what his age is, we have also used a male killer as we want our thriller film to be conventional to a normal thriller film and the race of the killer is white british. The background of the killer is that he has loved the victim since they were little and were best friends until they got to High School where the killer and victim parted their separate ways as the girl became popular and the killer became an outcast of his school and then when he left school he felt more hatred for this girl and blamed her for ruining her night. The killer is still in love with her and believes if he cannot have her then nobody can, he is also jealous as she is loved by so many people within the school. then he stalks her gets her by herself and kills her. The purpose of this character within our thriller is to seek his revenge for the victim leaving him becoming popular and not being in love with him. The character is perceived by the character as a person who is mentally unstable and a person who is very jealous and controlling.

The main character of our thriller film is called Caroline she is a white 16 year old school girl, we have decided to use this type of girl as 16 year olds still have a bit of innocence but at the same time has a sense of adulthood. Caroline is going to be a middle class girl who is well spoken and a bit snobby. She goes to a well renowned school and is a straight A student, who is friends with everybody and has no enemies. She is innocent and didn't mean to hurt the killers feelings.  The purpose of this character of the victim is used by us to be a helpless girl that cannot look after herself and relies on others we have used  a girl as the victim this is not only a convention of a thriller but we have also used it so the audience can sympathize with the victim. This character will appeal to the audience as they will feel sympathy for the victim as they know she's helpless and she has nobody to save her.

The extras are used within our thriller film to emphasize the fact that she is a popular girl and shows she is having a good time and the audience would not expect their to be a killer stalking her and wanting to kill her as she is so innocence and helpless.
