This document provides an analysis of techniques used in a film project about kidnapping. It discusses the film's non-linear narrative structure, use of mise-en-scene like contrasting dark and light scenes, characterization through clothing colors and dialogue, incorporation of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, experimental camera angles and shots, inclusion of thriller genre elements like danger, mystery and suspense, and influences from other films like The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cape Fear.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
2. Audience Targeting Kidnapping’s effect everyone due to the media. Examples of Madeline Mcann, Shannon Matthews and SahilSaeed. Through our extensive research the main age group that go to the cinema ranges from teenagers to young adults. We tried to apply our film to appeal to this target range
3. Narrative The opening sequence of starting in the present and transiting into a flashback is a non- linear narrative. By using a non- linear narrative we are drawing the audience into the story, by the quite shocking story.
4. Mise –en-scene The first scene is dark, dull, oppressive with connotations of misery and danger in her life. The second scene is bright, happy in a domestic setting i.e. kitchen.
5. Character representation Our aim was to highlight the difference between the protagonist and antagonist. In the opening scene we used binary oppositions to show the difference in characters such as clothing for example the colours of coats as black and white which also represents piano keys. Free indirect speech reveals a hidden secret.
6. Sound We had sound bridges crossing over from the sinister scene to the kitchen scene to foreshadow danger. Diegetic sound is used in the kitchen scene due to the characters dialogue. Non- diegetic sound is used in the opening scene such as the soundtrack and the voice over in the next scene.
7. Lighting The flickering light bulb could be mirrored with her situation and her flickering of doubt. A dark reddish light could represent danger and links to the thriller genre. The kitchen scene had a natural light which can represent the equilibrium.
8. Camera angles/movements/position We used a range of shots such as close ups, zooms, over the shoulder shots, long shots. We experimented with shots like shot reverse shot and tilts. Which were not in our shooting script and storyboard.
9. Genre Specific Elements In thriller genres there is always someone in danger at the beginning which represents mystery and creates suspense also an enigma for the audience. Lighting and music are key elements in thriller based genres. You can see a slight conflict between the two characters.
10. Influences The Talented Mr Ripley Classical Music Media – news Cape Fear Fight Club
