Locations



These rooms are going to be the places where we film the killer seducing and killing her victim. we chose these rooms so that it would create a dark and sinister atmosphere which will complement our genre 'Horror Thriller'.

This first room is going to be the room where our man character will be sitting on a chair in the middle of the room. The lighting will be quite dark and we will be able to play around with lighting so that we can get a good effect in making it look like a Horror Thriller. The stairs also look quite sinister and will help us in getting a range of different shots.


                                             


This room is going to be the room covered in pictures to show the killers victims. This will also be quite dark but we may also have some red ligthing which will give the effect of her printing her pictures. 


I think these rooms will be quite good to use as they are quite empty therefore we could do whatever we wanted with them.

Our Characters

Male Character


For our male character we wanted it to look like he had just come back form a night out. Therefore in a suit but very scruffy. I think the way in which we want our man to look is very stereotypical of a strong working class man. However even though he is dressed this way, he is still going to look weak in the situation that he is in, which could suggest that we are trying to be different and show that woman are equal to men and don't always have to be the victims in Horror Thrillers.
This is what we want our male character to wear:

  • Suit jacket, Shirt, tie, trousers, belt
  • Handkerchief
  • Wallet-ID-picture 





Female Character

With our female character being the villain we felt that she had to look like a very strong woman. However we have chosen someone who is blonde and skinny which would stereotypically usually be how the girl victims would look in a Horror film. However as we have swapped it round we thought it would be a good idea to keep that stereotype but make them look seductive so that she would be able to lure her victims home. We chose the colour red for the female as it is a very strong but dangerous colour. We felt we wanted her to look beautiful and pristine because of her having to seduce these men but also so that no one would expect her to murder anyone, which would add to the horror type feelings.
This is what we wanted our female character to wear: 
  • Red dress
  • Red nail varnish
  • Red lipstick
  • Black heels
  • Pearls/Choker necklace/Dangly earrings

Prop List

For our film, we have thought of things in which we hope will make our film look like a Horror Thriller. We have thought of props which will help us in getting our idea and story across to the audience and making them feel a certain way. The props we came up with were:


  • Lights/Lamps
  • Shiny red transparent paper, to stick over the lamps to create a red light, which will create an ambiance of our photo-developing room.
  • Polaroid Camera
  • Weapon device - Knife / Knives.
  • Bag/Towel for knife
  • Chair
  • Gaffa Tape
  • String for the line of pictures
  • Rope - to tie the man/ male character which is the victim.
  • lipstick
  • jewellery

We are hoping that having these props will set the scene for a Horror Thriller and create the right ambience and mood for our audience.
