Shooting Schedule

This is our shooting schedule we done, we have put down what we are going to film on exactly what days, for example on the 8/1 we would be filming just shots 1-4. we done this like this so we know what we have to do and can get staright on with it and take more time doing it.

List of props, costumes and locations

Props...

When thinking about what props to use we thought very carefully in terms of how we could do shots with props we wanted to use and how we could use them to draw the viewers attention in. we also thought about the sort of things that are appropriate and could work with what we wanted to do and clues we could give the viewers without given away to much information.

• Chair
• Handcuffs
• Rope
• Necklace
• Suitcase
• Photos

Costumes...

When talking about the sort of costumes we want to put our characters into we thought about the professional look and the sort of clothes people would expect to see a photographer in and also the sort of clothes you would normally see a teenage girl in. We came up with:

• Man: Smartly Dressed, Black trousers,, Smart top, plimsoles.
• Girl: (when she meets him) Ugg Boots, Tights, Long Top/Shirt,
• Tied Up/ being Abused: Bare feet/ Legs, tight Short Dress, Hair Down.

Locations..

When we discussed where we wanted to film our shots we decided it will be more exiting to film it in an old run down garage instead of a posh studio where you would expect it. By having this will make the audience ask more questions and feel uneasy. we also planned to film down an alley where the two characters meet, as it is an unusual place to meet someone.

Storyboards

In our groups we had to come up with a storyboard on what our film was going to include shot by shot. This took a lot of time and we had to do it in a lot of detail so somebody could come along and look at it and be able to roughly film a shot. Our storyboard consists of a variety of shots we will be using, how we will be using them and what for. We coloured and explained our story boards so we know what we need to do and how we need to do it. this will make it easier for us as it means we can just go to our storyboards and know exactly what we need to film and where. although i am pleased with this storyboard and the shots we have decided to do i feel there could be changes in the future where i will have to add in another story board for the changes i would make, but for now i think this is very effective.

Shot List

• Close Up - Nice photos of the girl (professional)
• Extreme close up
• Close up of equipment
• Close up - dirty photos
• Pan of wall x 2
• Close up of feet
• Crain of body (slow)
• Mid shot, zoom into
• Close up of his feet
• Close up of her feet
• Close up of necklace and him looking at it
• Mid shot of them walking away (showing costume)
• Close up if girls possessions such as, bag, money, clothes, make up, necklace.

by having so many close ups gives the audience less to work with it makes them wonder why they have put these close up in and what they mean. It gives away more tension and suspense by knowing not too little but not to much.

By having a crain of her body shows the audience exactly what state the girl is in and how she looks, it adds to the cold effect of being hurt and upset. i think this shot would be very effective and wrk well with what i plan to do.

Synopsis

A typical thriller film starting with the middle instead of the beggining. About a man who claims he is a photographer when realy he is a run down peadofile, with his win across attitude and smart maner her manages to convince innocent girls he is a photograpther and promises them a career. He then comes across a nice girl who he targets, he acts perfessional for a few weeks but not for long until he starts abusing her and taking photos for his own personal use. but..will he get caught?

during the film it will leave the audienc asking many questions such as: who is he? what is he doing? where are they going? and many more. this is a thriller as it included many conventions such as tension, ask questions, suspense, police, day and night.

Initial Ideas

When planning our sequance we came up with a few ideas of what we wanted it to be about and include, we then worked from there going into more detail about exactly what we wanted.
to start up with we came up with a few points such as:

• Rape
• Chase
• Memory Loss
• Flash backs = audience see's it clearly but girl doesn't remember it
• Photos
• wall of photos (women, dirty)
• individual girls looking nice.
• Equipment, chair, whips, handcuffs.
• newspaper headline

All these points are what we want to include, we chose rape as it is a subject that happens a lot more recently it is a very strong and important subject in todays life. we thought long and hard about how we could represent this without actually showing rape, we came up with an idea of having flashback shows parts of her being tied up and clothes ripped, by doing this like this means that the audience will still have to ask questions but will eventually know what is happening. the wall of photos will be placed around the garage/room where the girl would have been abused this shows that she is not the first girl but one of many.
