Thriller Evaluation Question 2 Additional information

The actors in my film represent different ethnic backgrounds. The Boy is white British and the girl is Black British. They are represented as equals both of the same status as they are walking together they are most likely in a relationship or very close friends. This eliminated stereotypes and shows that ethnicity doesn't matter to the teenagers in my film.
My thriller opening represents young people especially children as very vulnerable. The victim in the film is a young girl. The audience would assume that the Kidnapper was a man due to audience expectations and the specific genre.

Thriller Evaluation Question 1

Location Planning

Location

For the location of my Thriller opening I wanted it to be rural in the countryside possibly the moors near Baslow or somewhere high up like Curbar Edge with a nice view of Derbyshire where it has a very sinister remote feel miles away from the nearest police station, phones any possible help that there might be in more urban areas. To get there we will need to drive which I can use to my advantage to show how small and winding the roads are close to my filming location to add to the mysterious feel even more. I think ill aim to start my thriller opening in the car to create a very bleak atmosphere by possibly blurring the colour.

It is always very windy at Curbar Edge because of the altitude and how open it is. This could work in my favour in my piece as I'm unsure as to weather there will be any dialogue so I could potentially use the sound of the wind in my opening however I would have to edit it and turn the volume down a lot or possibly mute the sound of the wind completely depending on how effective I believe it can be. There is a public footpath running along the top of the rocks leading from the car park which will mean I don't have to worry about trespassing or anything like that as long as me and my actors stay around the footpath.

I believe that my chosen filming location will be ideal for my opening and the look and feel that I am aiming to achieve. It is nearly always misty around Curbar Edge especially at this time of year because of the altitude and the weather. Curbar Edge can become a busy place sometimes with dog walkers and climbers but it shouldn't be too busy at this time of year especially during the day.

Thriller opening Mise En Scene

I thought it would be effective if I made a missing poster for my thriller opening. Because there is no dialogue then it would be difficult to clearly show the audience what is taking place in my film. I've decided to pin the poster up on to a tree at my desired location, this will greatly improve the Mise En Scene in my opening and it will make it clear to the audience what the storyline is about as well as giving the audience an unsettling insight into what is going to take place, making them feel uncomfortable. To avoid any possible implications I have used one of my sisters old school photos after making sure it was alright to do so.

Camera angles and shots

When the two detectives were first walking down the busy street in the city the camera is always below the two detectives looking up at them as they walk. This is effective as it shows them in a position of power as they walk.  Rather than being diminished by the imposing buildings surrounding them in the city street

As the detectives  are walking they are being followed with a tracking shot. This shot is deployed to show how busy they are and shows how far they are walking and keeps up with them amongst the hustle and bustle of the city.
