characters
We chose to only have 2 characters in our OTS. We chose to only have 2 because it meant the killer got maximum screen time and the audience didn't get emotionally invested in the protagonist. This means when more characters are introduced throughout the rest of the film the audience can make more ties with them and it will be a more immersive story.
Our original idea was all to do with a soldier that got captured by a terrorist group. When we changed this idea, we decided to keep in the idea of military based PTSD. This is why the antagonist is dressed in military gear and the flashback is a soldier being tortured.
We are also using a janitor/working class person as the protagonist. As shown in the OTS he was a soldier, but now works as a janitor at a supposedly safe school. He is representing the working class because it means the audience can relate to him.
