Planning: Mise-en-scene

This is Erin, an enthusiastic, idealistic, and creative teenager. She is able to do almost anything that interests her. Great people skills. Need to live life in accordance with her inner values. Excited by new ideas, but bored with details. Open-minded and flexible, with a broad range of interests and abilities. Also the girlfriend to Ben.




Friendly, adaptable, action-oriented. This is Ben, he is focused on the present living in the here-and-now, he is a  risk-taker who lives a fast-paced lifestyle. Impatient with long explanations. Extremely loyal to his peers, but not usually respectful of laws and rules if they get in his way. Also Erin's boyfriend.  
 
 
And finally we come to the anonymous murderer. He was bullied at school by everyone, he was isolated and started to fantasise about killing the teenagers that bullied him, he then worked at his fathers construction yard for 20 years with his father. But then his father got run over by a teenage couple who driving erratically. He then killed this couple and this started his killing spree.
