Typical Thriller Characters

Convicts, criminals, stalkers, assassins, down-on-their-luck losers, innocent victims (often on the run), prison inmates, menaced women, people with dark pasts, psychotic induviuals, terrorists, police and escaped convicts, romantic triangles leading to murder and more.
Male characters are most generally quite rough looking, they are not a main attraction to a female audience, they specifically have a scary appearance to match the story-line character of stalker, murderer etc. This makes it more intense to the viewer and they would be able to relate the victim to themselves in the emotion.

Thriller Film Idea

After a lot of debate, the group corroborated and decided on creating a suspense/psychological thriller, as it would be affordable on our budget, and easy to film as we would not have to go far out of Sible Hedingham.

The film would begin being based around two main characters, a male and a female, with the male stalking the female.

To show his obsession, the location for the male character (the shed) would be filled with pictures of Hayley, and some of her posessions; jewellery etc.

It would be the simple possesions and her everyday routine that the stalker character would be taking every notice of because this is a most effective way that will really emotionally connect with the audience. These kind of small actions and small budget lines are effective because the audience can really empathise and put themselves in Hayleys posistion as she progresses with her everyday life.
