for his friend Sean. Sean is Daniel's closest friend and Daniel is willing to put everything on
the line in order to find some crucial information to what could have happened to him and
why he is missing. Daniel is in Beckenham park, looking for Sean as this is where Sean used
to go through in order to get home quicker. It was the night of 23rd of November, Sean
had came from a detention, this finished around 5pm therefore he had to rush home
however Sean never made it home. Daniel is now on a quest to find his best friend in
possibly one of the last places he was known to be. The clues he found were his diary, this
is significant as Daniel never knew that Sean had kept such a big secret from him. Daniel is
in Beckenham park for hours trying to look for anything else which could lead to an
answer. Although Sean's disappearance has nearly been over 24 hours and Daniel feels it is
necessary to contact the police. Will Daniel ever find him Sean?
3. Camera angles
There has been various camera angles used in the making of this title sequence to
portray various feelings and emotions. A good example could be ‘over the
shoulder’ camera angle. This has been used as the audience can infer that the
protagonist is being watched or followed. Another example of a camera angle
used could be point of view- the use of this camera angle could help the audience
understand what a character is up to. Although there are various camera angles
used the final camera angle I will identify is the ‘close up’ camera angle- this is a
significant camera angle as it shows the focal point of the object or character.
4. Location analysis
In our title sequence for our movie: The lost, we will be using this bridge in Riverview park. we will be using this location because this bridge
isn't used often by the public. The main character in The lost: Daniel Brown will walk over this bridge to look for clues in Riverview park to
help him find his missing friend Sean. In our title sequence this bridge will represent an isolated setting. This will help us to reach the
expectations of our target audience because isolated settings is an important convention of a Thriller.
We will be using this footpath in our title sequence because it will lead our main character Daniel Brown to the first location in Riverview park
where he will find a clue to help him find his missing friend Sean. We will be using this broken down tree as a place where a clue will found by
Daniel Brown. The reason why were using this tree for a shot is because its a unique location, which will allude to the idea of a mystery in our

mind such as why was Sean's phone under the tree, this will then allude to the idea that our film: The Lost will be a Thriller involving a
mystery. This is a footpath we will also be using in our title sequence. The reason why we will be using this footpath is because the main
character Daniel Brown will walk along this footpath to reach a river. This is where he will find another clue which is another item of Sean's.
Another location we will use in Riverview park is a river. This will be the second location where Daniel will find a clue to help him solve the
mystery in our film: The Lost. The reason why we will be using this river is because it alludes to the idea of danger. This river will make our
target audience ask themselves questions such as: why was Sean near the river and how long has this item been there? The final location will
be Croydon road recreational ground. The reason for this is because it is a fairly large are with various areas which could be used as a setting
for our title sequence.
