4. STORY BOARD

5. LOCATIONS
The canal by regents park seemed to be the best
place to shot the scene which the body is
dumped, it is a place which is not used frequently
and therefore seemed like a good place to use.
We chose Primrose Hill, as it was a park with a lot
of lighting, our film will be shot when it is dark
therefore we need as space which would give good
lighting.

6. RESEARCH
Our group researched the different genres of film, by looking at different films to gather information and ideas.
The main ideas which we needed to research was;
- Music
- Plot
- Mise en scene
- Target audience
- Surrounding movies within this genre.
The reason for picking out these specific ideas was because they are most important for our film. Our film is a thriller/horr or therefore the music is very important
to make the audience react in a certain way to the scene.
The music used for shutter island which inspired our group was;
1. "Fog Tropes" (Ingram Marshall) – (Orchestra of St. Lukes & John Adams)
2. "Symphony No.
3. Passacaglia – Allegro Moderato" (Krzysztof Penderecki) – (National Polish Radio Symphony & Antoni Wit)
4. "Music for Marcel Duchamp" (John Cage) – (Philipp Vandré)
We also watched various films such as, „Taken‟, „Shutter Island‟, „The girl with the Dragon Tattoo‟. Within our lesson of med ia we have been taught how to analyse
films, through this we have been able to look at different films and see how specific concepts portray ideas and images to an audience.

7. THEORY – FEMINISM
Feminists have taken many different approaches to the analysis of cinema. These
include discussions of the function of women characters in particular film narratives or
in particular genres, In considering the way that films are put together, many
feminist film critics, such as Laura Mulvey, have pointed to the "male gaze" that
predominates in classical Hollywood film making. Through the use of various film
techniques, such as shot reverse shot, the viewer is led to align themself with the
point of view of a male protagonist. Notably, women function as objects of this gaze
and women are not equal to men as they are the victims and seen to have less power.
Feminist film theory of the last twenty years is heavily influenced by the general
transformation in the field of aesthetics, including the new options of articulating the
gaze and women used as “sex Objects”.

8. CHARACTERS
For the media project, there are six characters, including the antagonist; seven, that was chosen to take part within the
movie. The characters are shown through the first scene of the movie however, the main focus are on only three characters
out of the seven; Dina, Millie and Mark. The reason why we have chosen three of these main characters is because Dina
(played by Diellza); is the innocent victim that gets killed and begins the tension and suspicion throughout the movie, Mark
(played by Omar); will be the antagonist who has killed Dina and left the other characters shaking to their knees as to who
he will kill next, and lastly Millie (played by Mariam); will be the dominant leader of the group; due to everyone‟s shock
and sadness to the murder of their friend, she will be in charge of making sure they are okay and also take charge of hiding
the body as they pretend like nothing ever happened.
6 girls (victims)
- Diellza Uka as Dina (main character)
- Marim Noukri as Millie (main character)
- Carima as Christina
- Fatbarhda Paci as Barhda
- Safa Suwar as Sarah
- Kellie Greenwood as Karen
1 boy (antagonist)
- Omar Abduallah as Mark (main character)

9. COSTUMES Diellza‟s character is very loud and brash, she
wants constant attention. Her character will be
wearing revealing clothes. Be very over the top
and excessive for a simple meeting with friends.
Her character will be the victim in the
movie, this will follow the typical thriller
conventions with the victim playing a typical
„damsel in distress‟ role.
The antagonist in our movie will be wearing simple dark clothing, to draw
more attention to the white mask that will be disguising his face. The mask
will be plain, as it presents a fear to audience as this could be seen as
blank emotion.

10. Millie will be playing the antagonist, she is the leader in the
group and takes control of the situation when things start to
get out of hand. Her clothing will be stylish but comfortable
she is a character which is very relaxed and this will be
shown through her clothes
The other five girls, clothing will be very simple, as they
are not shown as much in the movie they will not need to
stand out as much as Millie and Diellza‟s characters.
Therefore clothing such as jeans, t-shirts and tracksuits
will be used on these characters.

11. INSPIRATION AND IDEAS
Once our group decided that we wanted to make our film on the lines of horror/thriller,
We began to research movies within this genre and take ideas for which we could use in our
film. Two films which we got a lot of our idea’s from was ‘Sorority Row’ and ‘Scream 4’.
Below is a link to the opening of ‘Scream 4’ which we interpreted the idea of the prank phone
call which we are going to use in our film.

We also looked at the idea of creating a movie within a movie, which would see one film
being used in the one which we are filming, this idea was brainstormed but as a group we
came up with another idea for the storyline of the movie.

12. MUSIC
