The story involves typical character types aimed at a younger audience with the characters being 13 and above. Being in school you usually have two best friends who do everything together with a psychological thriller there is usually a different take on films by messing with the audience e.g. Shutter island but with the character types theres usually a hero, victim, villain and within a psychological thriller most of these types are seen. Lots of stages of disequilibrium being a psychological thriller because it creates tension, drama and also helps the audience be on the edge of there seats but also creates twists and turns in the story. Strauss involves the binary opposites, in a psychological thriller we have life VS death. good VS evil and also male VS female of how the story unfolds. If we didn't have conflicts a psychological thriller must be boring.
Potential locations: school, therapy, 'party house', the two girls house.
BBFC: 15- Content involved not suitable for anyone under the age of 15. (SWEARING, VIOLENCE ETC)
Lots of non-diegetic and diegetic sound to engage the audience more.
Costumes and makeup- Normal clothing to contrast with the deep story, normal teenagers clothes also no make up for the two girls only at the party.
