hunt a serial killer

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.
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
This is where the shed is
located
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.

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

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
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

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.
