Christmas work
As a group, we decided to go with idea 1. This is because we felt that it was the easiest to create the effects we want, and to shoot, without having any difficulties. It is close to where we live, and is perfect area. However, there are a few health and safety issues with it being a road, but because this is a very quite back road, they're shouldn't be many cars, if there is, it is a straight road and the cars would be able to clearly see us.
IDEA 3CONVENTIONS
The car park has always got someone minding it. But the one night it doesn't and the cameras are broken, a murder takes place. On November 6th Caroline, mother of 2, gets murdered whilst putting shopping in her car. Why her? Why does the murder take place the night everything breaks? DCI Miles has to investigate to find out who did it and why, discovering that it was planned all along...
COSTUME
Caroline: Normal day clothing. Jeans, shirt, jumper, coat, ugg boots. Her hair would be tied up in a pony tail out of the way. Make up would be minimal and natural.
DCI Miles: Long dark coat, suit, dark shoes, leather gloves, grey scarf.
Other police officers: In police uniform (big hi-vis coats)
The Murdered: dark clothing with balaclavas
LOCATION
This would be the perfect location to base the killing. This is because at night time, it is very eerie and would create the perfect atmosphere, as the trees and the lights create unusual shadows. Also, its great as there is a supermarket opposite, in which would be great as it would be a good back setting, and would set the scene.
LIGHTING
The shots would be shot at night, meaning that they would be very dark. They're would be the light from the street lights, and if we timed it right, the light from the full moon, however this may still be too dark. To make the lighting better, we could add an artificial light e.g; a spot light, which could be postione far away so that the light isnt focused on a specific spot and is more spread, lighting the area instead of the person.

IDEA 2
CONVENTIONS
Caroline was just a normal girl, who stuck to her routine day in day out. That changes when Mr. Jones kinapps her whilst she was walking home from school one day in 1996. 10 years later, its still not been solved and her sister want to solve the investigation and get revenge, as nothing has ever been the same. By herself she slowly starts progressing as she finds out clues and thinks why her sister would get in the car that took her. After years of investigating she finds out some home truths, and discovers something in which she wish she never did....
COSTUME
Caroline: The costume in which she will be wear is her school uniform,as she is a school student, and its relevant as she is walking out of a school. This will show her age is between 11-16, indicating she is still a child.
The Kidnappers: The kidnappers will wear dark clothing as it does not show much about there personality. Also they'll have balaclavas on which will conceal there identity to both the character Caroline and the audience. This will cause the audience to feel on edge not knowing who the people are.
LOCATION
This would be the location in which the kidnapping would take place. It would be perfect as it is the path coming out of Newport onto a main road, which would be easy for kidnappers to take young children.
LIGHTING
The lighting in which we use, would be natural lighting. There would be no need to add artificial lighting as it would be bright enough for the audience to see what its happening within the take, as it will be shot during the day. We would shoot our film on a bright day, just to make sure that the shots are clear and visible.

IDEA 1
CONVENTIONS:
No one heard her scream. No one came to help. No one listened to her cries and tried to save her. Now she's back. And she wants revenge. Did you hear her scream? Did you help her? If not, you're next.
COSTUME:
The costume idea we have as a group, is too have our character in a long white gown, ripped with blood on it and having the character's hair across her face, so that the audience see her face. Also, the character will have no shoes on, suggesting she has struggled and lived 'rough'. However, we felt that this idea was bordering on "horror", so have changed it too having a plain white short dress as its more modern.Also we are not going to have her hair over her face, as the character is going to be walking away from the camera, making the audience wonder what and who the character is. We have used a very simple idea as it will make the audience think and ponder what and why the character is wearing what she is.
PROPS:
The only prop we are using when the character is walking down the road is a mobile phone. We are using this as it is contrasts against the simple old fashioned white gown, which is a classic 'Victorian' look. When we do the flash back's the props we will use then, is rope to show she has been tied up, and fake blood to show that she has been injured.
LOCATION:
Our main location for filming is; heydon, SG8 8PW. We are using this destination for our filming of when our character walks down the road. This location is perfect as it is a straight long road, with nothing but fields and tress's either side. It is safe to film as it isn't a busy road, and is easy to get to. To film the scenes wear our character is struggling/tied up, would be in Caroline's basement, as it would be dark and would create an eerie feel to the atmosphere. Also, its a perfect place as it is just down the road from our chosen location at heydon.
Another good location which is a possibility is the bottom of the Garnetts in Takeley. It is a slightly bent road, in which would be great to film our character getting closer, however, Heydon sets a better atmosphere as it is long and straight with nothing but fields and trees either side.
LIGHTING:
The lighting we are going to use is a spot light (a very bright torch) which will shine down the road on the character. This will create an eerie atmosphere, as the audience will be only able too see the character and very little of the surroundings as we are going to film it in the evening creating a spooky atmosphere. The scene's which will be filmed within the basement; the lighting will be low key lighting which creates cold colours enabling a harsh mysterious atmosphere. It will also be a hard light which will clearly illuminate areas, showing the characters expressions, imperfections in a less flattering image and shows details clearly. It also gives a crisp defined appearance to the object in view.
CONVENTIONS:
No one heard her scream. No one came to help. No one listened to her cries and tried to save her. Now she's back. And she wants revenge. Did you hear her scream? Did you help her? If not, you're next.

| This picture from 'the ring' is very similar to how we would want our character to look. However, our character wont have her hair over her face. |

analysis of an antihero
The antihero is used in many Hollywood films , the anti hero plays the same role as a traditional hero but the character is very different . The traditional hero seems to be a form of perfection examples of this include clark kent he is almost perfect in every aspect of his life ; however an anti hero is not they often have drink or drug addictions problems with relationships , problems with there father bad dreams and either extremely celebate or extremly promiscuous, they generally do the right thing when it counts but can do so in a different way to which is expected for example most traditional heros would save the villian rather than kill them however an anti hero would just easily kill the villian.
