never go away. Social media is like an eye in the sky
you every move is tracked by everyone and anyone,
you can never get away! It may seem like a good idea
at first but you never know who's watching your every
move!

as the story fits around some of there lifestyles.
 The short film will take place at a party and in an old
barn.

teenagers and young adults enjoy watching the thriller
genre, they will find it interesting.

want to make it as good as we can. We will
record many shots numerous times to get
different opinions and will create other ideas.
 Research is vital in the creation as then we can
work out exactly what we are doing and how we
are going to do it.

7. Location

8. Location
 We chose to have the location in a discreet old
building as nobody would be nearby. This means that
nobody knows where she is and gives the story a
purpose.
 The Location is also a party as it’s easy to get
arranged and fits the story together.

9. Thriller Conventions
 Setting- We have chosen to go with an old abandoned
building which is common in a thriller film as it makes
suspense and is a strange but unique location.
 Character- We have decided to go with a young
vulnerable girl which is also common in a horror film
because it makes the storyline interesting.
 Clothing-Mask- Hiding the persons identity is very
common in a thriller film because it makes the
narrative very complex as we don’t know who is
behind the mask.
