Organisation

During the process of production I played a key roll in the script and storyboard making. I did this by adding ideas and thoughts to the storyboard and doing the drawing for the pictures as we moved through the storyboard. For the script I typed it up in the format that was needed. I also helped out with filming in the group and did at least 50% of the actual filming. I mostly filmed the interview shots and the common shots with assistance for the indoor shots. When it came to editing I did again about 50% of the work as we had major problems early on leaving us with a tight gap to finish the film and have it handed in, so lucky I had the software at home to do it and so I spent a lot of my evenings doing just this.



Actors

Murderer
The killer must be dressed in quite dark clothing as this shows a negative/evil view towards him. He must also remain silent throughout the film as it will add an element of mystery and suspense.


Victim

The victim will wear more brightly coloured clothing like pink, this will give a more innocent and bright and bubbly impression on the viewer. The victim however will wear two different outfits as the time zone for the film is spread over a two day period, one day with the first lover (killer) and the second day with the new lover.

Police Officer
The Police Officer will be detective so no uniform will be required. The Police Officer must be dressed quite formal throughout the film, as it will show a more realistic view.

Lover
The new lover/second lover will be dressed very causal in the film will a simple jeans and jumper outfit so that the attention is not drawn away from the main characters.


Locations

We chose to use the locations selected, as the common was the perfect place in which to create a remote shot but at the time giving the impression of urban life close by. The indoor shot was chosen for the fact that the room was plain and simple and very open with only a table inside it and light at the rear of the room. All together those elements create a tense atmosphere for which to commit the act of killing with in. The park scene was chosen as it had the right settings that we were looking for, an open area with a tree and a park bench. The other shots 2 shots of town were chosen for the fact that a lot of people would walk past and that a lot of traffic would drive by therefore giving us the best effect possible of time passing. The first shot used in the film is inside an interview room was chosen as it appears to be a simple and empty room with one exit/entrance and table and 2 chairs inside it, the perfect layout for a police interview room.

Overall the locations chosen have merged together very well to create a build up of tension.

Costumes

The costumes used for production were simple ones, for the girl we used bold pink which is a traditional colour for girls in today’s world. For the killer we used a black coat and jeans which showed a simple dark coloured outfit which will represent a more evil or darker side to the character involved in comparison with the striking pink on the girl.

Overall the colours of the two main characters complement each other quite well representing their motives easily, one dark and one light. The hero and the villain.

The other two costumes used in the film are the officers outfit used is a simple but smart look which represents the clean cut attitude of the officer, the boyfriends/lovers outfit is a more casual laid back look with jeans and hoody, which represents the average UK teenage male.

Props

The props used in the filming were a knife, chair, photo and an envelope. The knife was there to add tension and danger into the film. The envelope was used to create a unique transition and to add an air of mystery as to what is in the envelope, the photo which connects to the envelope and camera was used to create yet another unique transition to show the passing of time and the changing of a relationship between two people, the second photo was used to show the end of a relationship and two lives, one in prison and the other passed.
