CHRACTER PROFILE

Character profiles

In our piece there are 3 main characters in the opening scene who play a significant part in the entire film if we where to film it all :


Rebecca : Female early 20s business woman has had a hard past a bit paranoid of her surroundings has something to hide and constantly feels like she is being watched however she acts ( normal ) on the outside concealing her real emotions. She lives alone because she is sooo focused on her career and the reason the stalker follows her is because some point in her life she has done something that has hurt him physically or emotionally. She went out with the stalkers best friend and the stalker used to like her.

Ollie : Male early 20s as well, is quite a cocky person and thinks he is very good looking. He is in a relationship with Rebecca and has quite an easy past. He used to be best friends with the killer but he betrayed him and went out with some one that the killer thought he could end up marrying (Rebecca) .

Timmy : The killer ( stalker ) HE STALKS AND COLLECTS A SCRAP BOOK OF ANY ONE WHO HAS EVER DONE WRONG TO HIM. HIS FIRST VICTIMS ARE HIS BEST FRIEND AND EX FIANCEE AND THE SCRAP BOOK SHOWS THE ORDERS OF HIS NEXT VICTIMS


Detective Sean Johnson :He is following the case as it happens and tries to uncover who is the next victim. He is not seen in the opening scene only his voice is heard through the answering machine .

target audience

our target audience is quite varied and our film could appeal to different audiences, such as teenagers and adults because our plot consists of someone who is in their early 20s so it could appeal to the older generation and the younger generation. it is quite complex so i would say some one in their early teens would find it too complicated.
However someone 15 and above would be the right target audience.

Our film has the right amount of complexity and fun that it is sure to grip any audience.

Thriller film ideas

as a group we brain stormed ideas on what we wanted our thriller films to be based on .

samson, percelle and i each incorporated our knowledge and research of the genre and concluded that our thriller would be based upon ideas we have seen from various other thrillers such as valentine,saw and i know what you did last summer but to remain a thriller we had to ensure that when filing we do not incorporate any scenes which show the deaths happening otherwise that would become borderline horror and the lines between the sub genres are quite vague

the opening scene is of a scrap book being turned ( medium close up )

whilst this is happening the titles are coming up

Locations, mise-en-scen

In thrillers location and set design are a crucial part of the film as it can add or take away from the naturalism of the thriller.

In our piece we are going to try and use location and set design that will enhance our piece and make it more real and entertaining to watch.

When filming Rebecca being followed we will have walking in a dark light street which is quite deserted, the alley way she then turns down is long and thin and very dark light, this will help build the atmosphere and suspension of the piece.

When filming Ollie eating chinese, we want the house to be quite cosy and ordinary so the audience will be able to relate to him, we want him to be eating chinese and watching tv just so the audience can see that this and be able to empathize with it, making it more naturalistic and real when will then make our thriller more chilling.
