1. Media Proposal
By Kirsty, Shannon, Oliver and Josh

2. Story Line
O Our thriller opening is about the
disappearance of a girl whilst playing with
a balloon in the forest. Even though we do
not see the actual kidnapping taking
place, by the girl running away and then a
sudden blackout, it eludes the idea of the
girl being kidnapped. Eventually at the
end of the opening we see the search
party looking for her and they find her
head band.

3. Target Audience
O The target audience from are thriller
opening is people from the ages of twelve
and upwards. The reason why we chose
this age range is because we believe from
this age we believe that our audience will
be able to understand what is happening.

4. Inspiration
O When looking at ideas we could do for our
thriller opening we looked at the title
sequence of “The Missing” and “Mayday”.
These have helped us create an abstract
and naturalistic title sequence ourselves.

5. Camera Angles
O In our thriller film we have decided that we will start our film with a
mid shot of tree braches. The reason why we decided to start with
this camera angle focusing on branches moving is because we
believe that it sets the tone of the whole thriller opening.
O We then have a birds eye view of the girl playing in the grass. The
reason why we made this our second shot is because we wanted to
connote the idea of innocence form a child’s and audiences point of
view
O From then onwards we will use a variety of other angles like long
shots of people searching for the girl and of the girl herself running.
Close up will be used in order for the audience to know the facial
expressions of the character and extreme close ups to mark a
particular moment e.g the police officer picking up the headband.
O We will also use other camera angles like mid shots, pans, high/low
angles and point of view shots. To allow a variety of interpretation
form the audiences point of view.

6. Costume and make-up
O There are two main characters in our thriller
opening, one being the main person.
O Our main character will be wearing a pink dress,
white socks and a pink hairband, holding a red
balloon. Her make-up will be smudged down her
face and red lipstick wiped over her mouth, so she
looks like a bit of a mess and to suggest that she
has been attacked. We also want to suggest that
she is naive.
O The other character is the kidnapper. The
kidnapper will be wearing a black tracksuit also,
you will not be able to see his face because we
want to create the feeling o insecurity.

7. Location
O There are two locations used throughout this thriller
opening, both are outside but filmed in different parts
of the park.
O First being set in an open field with high grass and
lots of trees surrounding it, because we want her to
feel isolated from everyone else and to feel small.
O The other being the search party that will be filmed in
a variety of other places, like fields, streets and
houses.
O The two parks that we are most likely to use to film
are Crystal Palace park and also Kelsey park. The
reason why we probably going to use these parks is
because they suit the specifications that we want for
our parks

8. Music
O The music that we want to have in our
thriller opening will be evident throughout
the majority of are opening. An example of
some of our own individual interpretations
are.

9. Lighting
O All the lighting that will be seen apart from
the special effect lightings will be
naturalistic.
O The reason why we want lighting like this
because we want to make it seem to the
audience as much as possible that the
thriller opening is realistic.
