POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH CHARACTER 2

We faced potential problems when trying to deciding on what type of character (e.g. gender, age etc.) to introduce as our second character in our Thriller opening as we were unsure of what type of character we wanted as we felt that different ages and genders can portray different feels/effects.

Firstly we thought of having a character which is a similar age to the protagonist as we wanted the the protagonist to appear in their twenties, a problem arise with this as we thought it could just look like to teenagers who could be brother and sister, this would not work with our thriller as it would make the protagonist look younger which would cause a problem for our thriller.

We then decided to have an older friend in the scene as this would make the protagonist look older, around twenty which we wanted them to look. The problem with this is that we found we we're not able to find a twenty year old in which would be willing to take part in the thriller.

Our last decision was to have a young child as the second character in the scene, this would work well as it would make the young child look like the protagonists son. This would make the protagonist look in their twenties which is the perfect age we wanted her to be. We also have access to a young child which we could use for the scene.
