14. With my previous analysis on stock characters, I have
followed the codes and conventions of the typical stock
characters whilst adding a spin on them due to their origin
being based in American movies and with our film being
British, we had to change a few things.
With my character profiles of each character, I can now link
them with my antagonist and protagonist therefore
furthering my planning process.
