•
Title name = vanish
Genre= thriller
Rating= 15
Plot= A young girl about 8 years old is walking home with her
nanny and then the nanny gets distracted. The girl continues to
walk home on and then 3 men come out of a black auidq5/range
rover, wearing scary masks. They pull up on a sidewalk to kidnap
a girl who is on the phone. She is the daughter of a Mafia chief.
The rival gang then drive off with the girl and it ends hopefully
leading a cliffhanger for the audience.

3. MIES EN SCENE

4. LOCATION OF SHOOTING
Beaufort street(SW3) London, Chelsea= occasionally busy but sometimes quite
which makes it ideal to shoot. The pavement is wide therefore easier to shoot for
camera space. The road itself is in a wealthier area and the girl is associated
with wealth. This location is also very close to my house making it easy if I have
forgotten anything or need something. I’m going to be filming in the afternoon as
it is when the girl finishes school.

5. FILMING
Filming will hopefully take place

8. DIAGETIC SOUNDS
• Diagetic- DIEGETIC SOUND
• Sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is
implied to be present by the action of the film:
• * voices of characters
• * sounds made by objects in the story
• * music represented as coming from instruments in the story space
( = source music)
(car pulling up, kidnappers speaking, girl on phone, wind, bag going
over girls head, handcuffs on, birds )

9. NON DIAGETIC SOUNDS
• NON-DIEGETIC SOUND
• Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen
nor has been implied to be present in the action:
• * sound effects which is added for the dramatic effect
• * mood music
(music put in after, car breaking exaggeration, car doors
slamming, girl dropping her phone sound effect)

10. AUDIENCE
• I wont the target audience to be late teens and adults. This is
because it is going to be a dark thriller aimed at older not at
younger kids who might get extremely scared.
• The target audience of many thrillers usually consists of adults.
This is because it might include a lot of violence and some
psychological issues that can be disturbing for younger audiences
- especially in psychological thrillers - as well as some thrillers are
more intellectually demanding.
• I’d like my audience to be on the edge of their seats when
watching it the whole time and keep them involved and make sure
they don't drift of.
