Character: Murderer
This evil triplet was portrayed as a dark character right from the begining. This was done through the use of close-up camera shots never showing more than from the waist down. This meant that the audience never saw his face. This represents a small minority of teenagers that unfortunately are murderers.We emphasized this further by cutting him in and out of shots when he was about to kill his victim, along with this there was a quickening heartbeat when he was following his victim. All of these techniques added hair-raising tension to the film.
Characters: Twins
With the twins we wanted to portray them as a pair of sly, cunning villains who could go from a to b without being noticed. They wore typical teenage clothes like puffa jackets, jeans and trainers. We used a variety of different camera angles and shots to show the complexity of the two. One high angle crane shot of one of the twins illustrated the idea of the bigger picture, this was a deliberate contradiction to actual teenagers who always think their right. This was done to show that not all teenagers are the same.
Character: Victim
Our victim was portrayed as the typical popular girl that every group of teenagers has. She was dressed in smart but casual clothes and the camera shots always created a feeling of desperation. Both for the protaginist trying to get away and the antagonist trying to kill.
