The amount of characters that we are using in our film is very limited as we only have
4 characters, which is fairly average for the genre of short film.

4.  We plan on using quite a few different locations in order to develop and
attach different meanings with the variety of settings. Therefore we plan on
using;
 Melvin’s house
 Parks
 Sydenham area
 An abandoned train station
 Feminist library building

5.  Considering that the genre for our film is ‘short film’ we have had come up
with a sub-genre or hybrid genre to go with. With that in mind we decided to
go for;
 Thriller
 Docu-drama
 Urban/social-reaslism

8.  Bearing in mind that our main sub-genre is thriller, we had to deliberate and
research into thriller films and the key iconographies shown within them.
This would allow us to come up with more of a visualisation for our own short
film in order to develop our plotlines.
 Therefore we summarised a few mise-en-scene iconographies;
 Low key lighting
 Dark and frumpy clothing for certain characters (e.g. gloves and hoodie for
Chris as their identity should be kept secret)
 Locations like said in one of the previous slides
 Confined spacing and shadows
