As they set up their defensive line to prevent a third down conversion, the Westville High School Jaguars are completely oblivious to the fact they are the antagonists of the fictional universe they inhabit.

“Let’s go out there and play some good football,” said Westville coach Albert Franks, unaware that he is being portrayed as a ruthless, aggressive man who would do anything to win.

“Remember to watch out for number 36, he’s a killer receiver,” said Westville linebacker John Abrams, not knowing that aggressive rock and roll music plays whenever his team is onscreen.

At press time, Westville’s defensive line was currently waiting tensely for the snap, not knowing that the whole narrative tone of the film in which they are appearing would depend on this moment.
