A good film always consists of a memorable character, but what may be the most important part about them is their name. As of pre-production, I had not decided on any names for the characters. However, I feel that I have now come up with the appropriate names of the characters which will fit their role and make them memorable.
The first name I came up with was for the protagonist, and it is 'Slim' Tim Tyler or 'Slim Tim'. The reason I came up with this was because it has a similar sound to Slim Jim, and also sounds catchy. The actor who plays this role, my friend Kyle also liked this name because he thought that it fit him well, and also relates to him in real life.
The second and third names were both ideas from actors Joey and Marco, which were Sammy James and Carlos Rodriguez, which were fit for the two perpetrators. Joey chose this name as it reminded him of his friend Samuel, and Marco chose his as it relates to his heritage and he thought that it sounded like a legitimate movie character name.
The last name that was created was Miguel, who is played by Victor. Victor chose this as the name as he felt that his character was simple, and only including a first name would be enough to make the viewer want to learn more later on.
Although all of the characters names may not actually be revealed throughout the opening scene, I felt it was necessary to include their names anyway as it would give me ideas on how to fully develop the characters.
