Character Inspiration

Rawad Karsifi's character is based on the character of Alicia Witt (Above). However, the biggest difference is obviously the gender. Both characters revolve around a self centered personality. In "Urban Legend" this is obvious because Alicia is always lonely and depends on her music to ease her pain and troubles. Whereas, the other characters are more outgoing and wild. Rawad's personality was inspired from Alicia character. The opening 1 minute of our film shows this by displaying Rawad as a loner who is walking in empty corridors, listening to his music which eventually leads him to falling asleep in school.
Also, in "Urban Legend" Alicia is the main character who survives to the end of the film. This is subverting the stereotype of females being the weaker characters in films. In our film, the male characters dies in the opening 2 minutes. This also subverting the stereotype of males being the strong characters in films.
