Main Characters -
The main characters in my film will be the murderer,the 'final girl' and the survivor.The 'final girl' and the survivor will be part of the teenage group of friends.The teenage group of friends would be of middle class status on the jicnar scale as I want my audience to relate to them and I am aiming this film mainly at middle class teenagers.The costumes the survivor and the 'final girl' will be wearing casual outfits that an average teenager would be wearing such as a t-shirt,jeans and trainers.I have decided to use casual outfits for my teenage characters as again I want my audience to relate with the characters and I feel that if I use outfits that most teenagers wear then my audience will relate better to the characters as the characters will be like my audience.The genders my characters will be will be two males and a female.The murderer will be male as the killer in the majority of slasher films is male so I want to stick to the typical slasher film conventions.The survivor will also be male.The final girl will be female as the last remaining survivor who kills the killer in slasher films is usually female and I want to stick to the conventions of a typical slasher film.The age of my characters will be teenagers and unknown.The teenagers will be aged 17-18 and the murderers age will be unknown as the killer in slasher films is usually unknown and I want to follow the conventions of a typical slasher film and keep the killer as unknown.
Props -
The props I will be using in my film will be several mobile phones and a car.
