The Main Character
We decided to cast Jacob as our main character because we felt that it would be better if this character was male. We made this decision because stereotypically, male characters are the antagonists in Thriller films. We also thought about the fact that females are generally seen as weaker and more vulnerable, so the character that plays 'The Victim' will be female. Furthermore, Jacob is the main character because we thought that a male dominant Opening Sequence would challenge other stereotypes of Thriller film.
The Victim
We decided that I should play the part of the victim because we felt it would be better if this character was female. We also thought about the way that the characters had to be dressed in order to enhance our marks when it comes to Mise en Scene, and this decision fit the best.
The Schoolgirl
Finally, we decided that Toni should play the part of the schoolgirl(passer by) that we see in the middle of the Opening Sequence and who sends the Main Character into a spiral of thought about his previous decisions. We made this decision based on filming timings, and Mise en Scene (when it comes to both characters and settings).
