HOW THIS LINKS TO STOCK CHARACTER ANALYSIS

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.
