Why we chose those characters

We chose a male aged 25, because:

• doctors tend to start at the age of 25 (as this is the age medical students complete their degree), therefore we thought it would be good to portray our character at this age.
• we opted for the youngest of the age group though, as stereotypically killers are of a younger generation. For example in Paul and Peter in 'Funny Games' (2007).
• we chose a doctor, because we thought it would be a good link between his schizophrenia condition.
• we thought our killer must be male as stereotypically males tend to play the part of killers

We chose a young female between 18- 22, because:

• you have to be 18 to go to a club, and we wanted someone who could club (as that is the category of victims our killer is picking from)!
• we chose to present our victim as smoking, as the whole reason behind our doctors serial of murders is due to the fact that people are abusing their bodies via smoke, drugs and drink.
• it was best to use a female victim, as stereotypically females are seen as being more vulnerable.
