In our lesson today, we came up with possibilities for our main task. We shared each other's thoughts and came up with a storyline that included a bit of each of our ideas. We decided upon a young girl who pretends to be someone she's not over MSN Messenger and meets a guy, who is actually an older man, but she does not realise this. Little does she know he was been stalking her, he knows where she lives and he knows that she really looks like (not the girl she has in her display picture). In the end he turns up at her house, and our introduction will end as she notices him. Once this was decided, we started to plan who we wanted to act in our thriller introduction, and our shooting location(s). We thought of filming her walk home down an alleyway but I thought this was quite cliché so I suggested filming it down my road because it is private therefore we will not often get interrupted by passing cars or people, and there is two long roads in which I thought we could film the very beginning down, where we would have the girl walking back from school towards the camera, frequently fading in and out as she got closer and closer. We went to my house and tested out these shots by taking photos. Whilst we were there, we looked around my house to decide upon suitable rooms to set each scene in. For the part where the girl is on MSN, we were torn between two rooms. A room in the back of my house surrounded by glass windows, which we thought would be more frightening outside and could place her stalker outside of the room looking in. The other possibility was my study connected to the kitchen. This room had a more warm and welcoming feeling but it was linked onto the kitchen which made sense as she would not have to walk far once boiling the kettle which we want to include in our film. For this reason, we chose this room, because it was more practical and already contained a computer and desk.
CASTING for our main task:
Stalker: 'Sam' - Elliot Williamson
COSTUME for our actor and actress:
School girl - school uniform.
Stalker - Normal clothes, perhaps a hoodie and jeans.
The school uniform will show the age of the girl, contrasting with the age of the man as it will become clear that he is not as young as the girl thinks he is.
The stalker will be wearing normal everyday clothes, anything else will be too obvious and "try hard". His attire will be dark, as he doesn't want to stand out.
The darkness of his clothing will emphasize his dark intentions.
