LocationLocation 1: File scene: Study room: Shelf with a file – we chose this room because it resembles a officeLocation 2: School hallway: Scene for prisoner walking down on- we chose this location because it matches the theme of a prison that has no open spaceLocation 3: Park- Virginia waters- we chose this location because it has open space which will allow mystery, pillars which gives the place an eerie atmosphere

Camera angle shot and movementClose up/Deep focus- Of the hand reaching to the file additionally a close up on file

name. to show the detail and reveal bits of plot but it doesn’t reveal detective faceHand held Camera- To follow the girl when attacked to create realismWide shot- when girl is walking through park- to show how open the scene is and how small she looks suggesting her vulnerability.Movement/Tracking shot- when prisoner walks down corridor the camera is static and on a tripod. This creates an effect that someone is watching him as he doesn’t notice. Tilt shot- when girl walks down though park she looks small- we chose this to show her vulnerability as she's walking aloneLow angle shot- used when in the bushes and girl walks past- this is used to show how someone might be hiding/ observing her due to the focus on the footsteps. Also used when prisoner walks to show his dominance and powerPan shot: when girl is walking through park – this creates an effect of her being traced.Over the shoulder shot- this is used when the girl is attacked- this creates realism as the audience can witness what happens to the girl as its happening to them.

Mise en sceneCostume & Makeup:Prisoner outfit- Orange jumpsuit Policeman outfit- black suit & hat Hitmen: all black outfit (no hood) (as an audience we only see arms and no face)Girl- brighter colours, hat, gloves, scarf, Girl had broses on her neck (pained with makeup)Lighting:Minimalistic its natural lighting, dark atmosphere creates gloominess and mystery of film.Because its set in the evening the lighting will be darker & trees in the park will create a shadow effect. The clothing from the men contrast the girls clothing she wears more warm and light colours rather than dark. This shows her pureness and innocence

Props:Police handcuffs ,glasses, badge,Cloth with sleeping liquidCar (Dark navy)File (for opening scene)Headphones, backpack,String to tie girl up

Sound & Atmosphere • Non Diegetic sound- we as an audience can hear her music which is quite

loud- we will do this because it will show her focus and the surroundings being blocked out due to the song which then the attackers can attack. Slam of the back boot- this will be amplified though editing to create a shocking ending where then the title will reveal itself.

• Diegetic sound- sinister sound of a violin or faint drums creating the effect of suspense and an eerie atmosphere. Foot steps of the prisoner will be used to create an effect of something coming as the prisoner will slowly walk down the hallway.

• Dialogue- Two sentences this creates mystery as there is no face shown on who this could be, we don’t know who says “Karmas a Bitch” or “Karma kills, Keep quiet” and why. Lack of dialogue focuses the audience to what they see.

Credits• “The Last Call”- Title of film which will be revealed at end

font will be bold red with an effect of blood dropping down the screen on a black background

Credits: we would include at least 5 credits:•Producer•Distributors•Title•Editors•Actors

Editing• Text and font- we are aiming to have the credits in white to stand out from the dark and

gloomy scenery. The credits will be implemented within the film clips which then will fade out. The credits will appear within the film and would be placed on the files next to the opening scene.

• Title-The title will be revealed at the end scene when the back boot closes which creates a black background which then the font will appear with the title of ‘The last call’ fading out in droplets of blood.

• Jump cuts-from when the girl is passing out to when she's in the back boot. This creates a build-up to suspense as then the following scene will be when the back boot is closed.

• Continuity editing- we will match the scenes from the girl passing out to the scene where she is near the car to create realism so that it flows rather than it jumping.

• Fade- The scene where the girl is fainting will have a fade which will create an effect to the audience as if they were the one who is fainting.

• Focus- the scene where the girl is fainting will loose focus to create an effect of the audience experiencing the pain and results of passing out. It will focus back in onto the new scene where the girl is in the back boot and we will able to see the broses and her tied up in the back
