Team Roles

Initially within our team we assigned roles to one another:

- Charlie was to be the antagonist to reflect the classic convention of males being the antagonist. Therefore making it more realistic, conventional and more thrilling.




Voldemort (male) is the main antogonist in 'Harry Potter' and also wears the colour black like Charlie in our film

- Laura was to be the protagonist which would also reflect the classic convention of females being vulnerable, and arguably physically weaker. Therefore , Laura's role would further link in with the conventional elements of a thriller to reflect our aims into making a conventional, effective thriller. Also, Laura worked alongside Sarah as 'co-editor'

female protagonist, the victim of a violent shark attack in 'Jaws'-reflects convention of vulnerability and females

- Sarah was assigned as 'head editor' of our rough cut using the software 'final cut pro'.

- Whilst I was given the task of being in charge of our soundtrack  to be played alongside the film using soundtrack pro.

However, after analysing our film again, we felt that we could further improve the film by introducing some new footage and characters which meant Sarah and I now have an acting part.

- Sarah was given a role of a protagonist college student (another classic thriller convention), pictured leaving the college and stalked by antagonist Charlie.

- On the other hand, I was given the role of a detective. Detective's are stereotypically in film and television episodes to be men. Therefore I would also be matching a thriler convention as a stereotypical role of a male Detective.
