  1. Good evidence of planning here. All of your characters are discussed according to their role within the film, their stereotypes and how you plan to represent them.

    To improve;
    -include images of the actors that will be starring in your thriller
    -more detail for some of your conevntions like body lang and facial expression
    -include some images of existing characters from thrillers you want your characters to be like
