Characters

Our film has three characters with significant roles. The requirements for our film to be a thriller is to be very suspense and action-packed yet detailed and well-planned. In which case, we wanted to emphasise the significance of the plot of the story; and with only having five minutes, we thought that reinforcing our intentions can be done by only including three significant characters in the film.

The Student
The Student is the first character. Some may argue that he is the protagonist but we want our audience to make their own decisions on this. Despite this, he is the driving force for the progression of the story line. He is involved in getting trouble with his teacher and accidentally killing him but results in his teacher mysteriously coming back alive and getting revenge on him. His characteristic is him being a teen-aged male with a very negative attitude.

The Teacher
The Teacher has the role of calling in the student for the detention where he is accidentally killed but mysteriously comes back to get his revenge on the student. No-one really knows if he dies or not and how he returns. This adds suspense to the film as it leaves open-ended questions being raised by the audience. The characteristics of this teacher must be very formal with a projecting voice and an assertive attitude.

The Friend
The Friend has the role of being the friend of the student. He is involved in the story when the student tries to break into the school's CCTV room and him helping him. However, they eventually fall into a lengthy dispute which results in the friend knocking out the student. Shortly after, he is also killed by the teacher. Out of all the three characters, this is the least significant role. The characteristic he will have is a supportive and friendly person but does like to confront other has a short temper.
