Planning: Mise-En-Scene.

The mise-en-scene I plan to use in my thriller consists of the following:


Lighting- We will use low key lighting in the kidnap scene, and the torture scene. The reason for this is to create more fear in the audience, as the scene will look much more eerie because no one will be able to see where the antagonist has come from.

Setting: We have chosen a deralict location rather than an urban one, because this makes the female victim seem much more vulnerable because she is walking home late at night, alone, through a park.

Iconography: The main parts of  iconography that we are going to use will be the shovel, and various sharp objects(knives), as these connote to death and pain.  This will strike more fear in the audience as they will understand the antaginist's intentions.

Costume: The female victim will be quite a subversive character, as she will not be stereotypically wearing white. She will be wearing dark, revealing party clothes so the audience can assume that she possibly has some darker intentions than what we initially see.

Body Language and Facial Expressions: During the beginning of the scene, the female will have quite a relaxed body language as she isnt expecting anything bad to happen to her. As the scene progresses, we will see her starting to get a liitle bit more on edge, and after she gets kidnapped, her facial expression will show her genuine fear as she doesnt know if she will live or not.

Research:Opening Credits and Typography.

The opening credits are important because it gives the audience a little bit of information as to who was involved in the making of the film. Also, the opening credits may have a series of random images that will confuse the audience,as they do not yet make sense.
The information that is displayed in the opening credits is:
-The main cast.
-Film title.
-More actors.
-Casting by...
-Music by...
-Editing by...
-Costume design.
-Production company.
-Co-producer.
-Writer(s).
-Producer.
-Director.
Typography is the font or style of text that is used e.g. credits. The correct font has to be used for the correct purpose. For example, if the movie is quite serious, then the font would be quite plain, a romantic comedy would have an elegant,light hearted font, and an action fil
m would have a really big,capitalised font.
