Planning - Representation

The representation of a character wasn't a major issue with our group as there is no certain hero or villian. Amal plays a victim without really conforming to any typical tendencies such as being white or dressed in pink. However her gender and characteristics of being a 'high school bitch' would show understanding to why she has become a victim in the first place. Seen as the killer is anonymous within the three minute opening, he/she doesn't represent any type of group. This was decided as a way to keep all clues covered or any suspisions uncertain, thus allowing us and the audience to explore different stories behind each character and their representations in the thriller. Nick represents the small humour that exists in every thriller, that little part that shifts your feeling of suspense to laughter; completely contradicting the whole film.
