2. Costumes
For the protagonist light, feminine colours
represent the exposure to vulnerability.
The various shades could symbolise the
innocence of the individual and the
brightness of their spirit. A natural
mediocre look gives the impression that
the character is an average person. It
demonstrates the regime/routine that
character has where there seems to be no
disruption to the equilibrium. Colour
directly corresponds to the emotions of the
character.

3. Journal – Devising A Plan
When devising a concept for the credits we wanted it to be associated with the antagonist where it revolves around
some form of a journal. The journal’s focal point would be the protagonist where he is pursuing her every movement. It
would be his own personal profile, where he has collated significant items for instance photographs/newspaper
extracts/bus tickets. There is some form of objective for this journal; we wanted the audience to question why is he so
committed to this journal? The fear of the unknown evokes uncertainty; we wanted the journal to signify a mystery,
where there is a hidden meaning. We wanted the antagonist to be depicted as someone who is fanatical over this
specific individual.
INITIAL CONCEPT FINAL CONCEPT
I had taken the role of constructing the
journal however my other team
members played a significant role by
gathering resources and providing any
assistance if required. Below is an

together.
6. Potential Locations Moor Street Station
Our main preference as a group was Moor Street Station as it had many contributing factors.
The predominant feature was the appearance of the station and it being partly sheltered. It
had traditional aspects which made it more daunting and sinister; as it being partly sheltered
we had access to the natural day light as well as areas that were dimmed down. Another
factor was it being situated in a central location where there is not a significant distance from
City Centre. All of us collectively decided that this matched all the characteristics we were
hoping for in a location.
New Street Station
Due to the hectic and chaotic environment of New Street Station, we considered it to be a
potential location as it would intensify the situation. There are numerous factors such as the
sheltered roofing where lighting is dimmed down to create low key lighting. Numerous areas
are isolated such as the elevators and the Subway level which is generally an eerie and
daunting place to be. When researching more into gaining permission to film it would be a
challenge. Due to it being a mainstream station where it is in continuous operation, there a
high levels of security which meant it would be an unlikely situation.
Snow Hill Station
Our initial reason for choosing Snow Hill as a potential location was due to the fact it was
situated in a central location. It was an easy place for all the team to assemble, so no one
could face any encounters in travelling to and from this location. On the other hand a
downside was the appearance of the station, it didn’t fit our category of it being old
fashioned. As it has a contemporary look the environment doesn’t naturally create fear and
tension. As a group we were not all content with the location so we all thought it would not
be an ideal setting.
