Name of the murderer

X=Not using

Surname;
- Jenkins X
-Thistle
-Whistle X (Thinking of using the whistling for the 'trademark' for the killer)
-Scott X

Forename;
-Nicholas X
-Abraham X
-Victor
-Franklin X

We wanted to use an old and unusual name for the murderer. We decided that the killer should have a trademark like some of the other famous movie killers;

- Freddy Krueger ("Nightmare on elm Street" series);  Scratching and the non-diegetic song is played in most of his films (1,2, Freddy's coming for you...)
- Jigsaw ("Saw" series); drum beats and a string orchestra which gets more intense as the killing is coming closer (Typically, the puppet's face will be seen on screen, and he will say "I want to play a game...")

As we wanted our character to also be realistic we wanted our character to also have a 'trademark' etc. As we have filmed one of our characters whistling in the spot light and found the sounds rather scary, we wanted to use whistling as our killers 'tradmeark'. This is also why we decided to use the name 'Thistle' so that we could create an easy tag line such as 'Victor Thistle. Hear him whistle'.
