G321 Thriller planning: Our setting

We have chosen to use the crates near our school to film in.

we have chosen these because they seem to have the generic features of being claustraphobic, desolate and unglamourous.

We have had some problems in getting permission to use the crates but have contacted the council and our headteacher about it.

The long track that leads to the crates will be used for our female to walk up.

This is my storyboard for our thriller.

G321 thriller planning. costume ideas.

This is my costume ideas

our henchmen will wear suits and trainers, or normal clothes (eg. top and jeans) if suits are not easily available. The henchmen should look a bit rough and unclean even if they are in suits. The henchmen's clothes should not take attention away from the female or distract the audience.

The female should wear black patent stilletto heels, a high waisted skirt (or a skirt with a waist belt) with detail (eg. fringing), black stockings (preferably with a seam), red lips and a black or white detailed top (eg. pinstripes). We have chosen this costume so that our character looks like a typical femme fatal.
