Don't you know who I think I am?

Here is an evaluation of the representation in the trailer


Chace: Is our protagonist in the trailer as he has been cursed with the second half of his persona in (Gabriel) but if we had continued to make the entire film the character could have turned to the dark side being taken over by his evil half. White middle class A-level student he can relate to the audience as most of them will be in to the lesser extreme the same situation as him (something to hide).

Gabriel: The antagonist evil half of Chace, the representation of Gabriel is that of the stereotypical slasher murderer as he is dressed in black (black seen as a negative colour the darkness to Chace’s white light). The spiked up crazy hair is used to show the character’s disturbed mental state. It is also a dark irony that the evil murderer is called Gabriel after an angel.

Doc: Seen as the stereotypical healer in his white coat and is meant to be trusted and believed making another of case of dark irony that he is behind the whole thing on why Gabriel is becoming so strong.

All the characters fit to the ideology to become part of the teen slasher genre as the Gabriel is a mixture of different killers as to fit to conventions that have been laid down before, and also the use of plot twists.

There is a level of verisimilitude within the trailer as it is a real school that is being shot and the setting with real students but there wouldn’t be a mass murderer on the loose and if there was the school wouldn’t stay open if a student was found dead.

The school: It is a real school so the setting is realistic but then in saying that there is no way a school would stay open after students being found dead around the school nor would parents let their children to attend.
