5. Location
●
The location of this production will be a
standard middle class house. This is because
we need the house to be very neutral colours
so that when the audience watch the film they
will denotate the colours of the wall to have
some meaning to the way of which they see the
character.

6. Actors
●
The age or Dave, the protagonist in this production will be 16. He
will be 16 years old because our audience is teenagers and i
believe that teenagers will be able to relate to a character more of
their age.​
●
The antagonist will be aged at around 16 also. This is because the
antagonist needs to be shown at the same level at the start of the
film. Through out the film the denotations and connotations of the
antagonist will change. The mise en scene is what will represent
the status of the characters.​
●
Both of the characters age being around 16 will mean that the
audience will be able to keep a neutral perspective of the two
characters through out the film.
Dave
(Protagonist)
James
(Antagonist)

7. Costume
●
Dave:​
●
White shirt, black trousers, white and black trainers. Casual and
normal attire This is so that the white will be seen as a neutral
colour so he is not worried about, but there is an elemental of him
that could be dangerous. Showing to the audience that he could
have done wrong but they do not know.​
●
James:​
●
All in black, hooded jacket up, black trousers along side some
black shoes. This is so that the audience are able to see that they
need to worry about his as people with hooded jackets on are
stereotyped as negative characters upon society. This shows to the
audience that he is bad as he is in black as well as the fact that he
is in a hoodie.

8. Who would publish/distribute this?
●
I think that the company metrodome would
distribute our thriller. This is because they are a
small company who are prepared to take risks
with smaller films. However I feel that Universal
Studios would not do this because they are a
bigger company only willing to release the
biggest films.
