Narrative

• The victim has been kidnapped and bound to a

chair then locked in a isolated shed. Isolation is a

generic thriller convention and the feeling of being

trapped also conveys this.

• The antagonist is coming back to torture the victim

and threaten her with the knife.

• We have a small sub-genre of horror and this can

make our thriller more exciting and build more

suspension.

Location

The Drama shed located near the Tennis Courts

within the school premises.

The small greenery area with trees and a path

To be filmed in the evening after school to create a

sense of eeriness

This is where the shed is

located

Cast List

Jacob Gregory- Villain/Antagonist

• We chose to use Jacob because he is a male and is a

more ruthless character and comes across as more likely

to inflict pain on other in comparison to our other cast

member Reece who is a shy quite character

Amy Crouch- Victim

• We chose to use Amy because she is a female and

female characters in thriller films tend to be more

vulnerable. This complies to generic thriller conventions.

Crew List

• Amy Crouch- Actress, Camera and Make-up

• Jacob Gregory- Actor

• Reece Hoggard- Director and Camera

• Tracey Crouch- Transport

• Dale Gregory- Transport

• Mrs Woodbridge- Owner of the shed

• Mrs Gun- Prop provider

Costumes

Jacob- All black (Black jeans, Black hoodie, Black trainers) Jacob is wearing all black to

support the Helmut Nickel theory that bad characters tend to wear all black costumes

and represents their personality

Amy- White cut up blood stained top, Leggings, Heels and some jewelry. Amy will also

wear fake blood on her face and shirt. Amy is wearing white clothing also to support the

Helmut Nickel theory that the good characters wear white to signify purity in the

character

Props

The Duct tape is used to cover the victims mouth to

restrain them from speaking, we use this to show the

audience that they have no power or control

Used by: Amy

We are using the rope to up the victim to the

chair to give the impression of that the victim is

trapped and can not escape

Used by: Amy

The chair is an essential prop as it in aid in securing the

victim showing that she is trapped

Used by: Amy

The knife will be held by the villain and shown throughout

the shots. This makes the audience think about what the

knife will be used for

Used by: Jacob

The torch will be already located in the shed and

then it will be used to light up the victim when

tied to the chair

The key will be used to signify the unlocking of the door

Used by: Jacob

Props

ProducTion sCHEDULE

• We need to make sure that our torch has enough

power to produce a significant amount of lighting. We

will do this by changing the batteries on the 24th of

November to ensure the light works.

• We will also charge our camera before and after using

it to ensure we have enough charge to be able to film

our production. We will do this on the 17th and 24th of

november before the shooting of the production

• Amy will pre prepare her costume by adding fake blood

and cutting it up.
