MAIN TASK: FURTHER PLANNING

Genre: Thriller


Narrative:
Who? Cindy has been kidnapped, news reporter talking about it
What? An evil dark figure
When? Present Day
Where? Boiler room as it looks like a basement and somewhere underground and hard to find is a typical setting for the thriller genre. Somewhere dark and vacant needs to be used, dingy and dull.

Camera Shots: 
Close ups on the girls face to show the fear and build up tension, other shots of her include ones looking down on to her, showing that she is of low power, also points that she is in danger and needs help.
Shots of the kidnapper are often medium shots as to not show his face completely to evoke mystery and of course build tension. There is also close ups used on his feet, this sparked nerves and his feet were obviously walking towards the girl. And we also include a couple of POV shots, such as when he looks at her and we have a full shot of here tied up on the chair, and then another one right at the end as he stands behind her looking over her - again establishing power - and puts his hand on her shoulder. 

Editing: 
Low key lighting - used Sony Vegas movie maker to adjust the lighting.

Music: 
Slow, creepy, eerie. Footsteps.

Mise-en-scene: 
Boiler room, low key lighting. 

The kidnapper to be dressed in all black, with a big coat and big black boots to make him look scary. Girl dressed in school uniform to show vulnerability, age, etc. Red connotations of danger. Newsreader to be dressed in smart clothes to show the formality and importance of the news reading. 

Props
Pretend gun
School uniform
Chair
