being killed
Short List Of Ideas
A detectives, a rookie
hunt a serial killer
Someone trying to
escape a confined
space
Someone trapped in
the internet
Someone turning into
a robot

3. 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.

4. 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

5. This is where the shed is
located

6. 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.

7. Crew List
•
Amy Crouch- Actress, Camera and Make-up
•
Jacob Gregory- Actor
•
Reece Hoggard- Director and Camera
•
Tracey Crouch- Transport
•
Dale Gregory- Transport

8. 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

9. Props
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 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
The chair is an essential prop as it in aid in securing the
victim showing that she is trapped
Used by: Amy

10. Props
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 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 key will be used to signify the unlocking of the door
Used by: Jacob

11. 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.
