changes

characters

we had decided to change our characters as we want it to be more overwhelming that we scraped using charlotte caunter as the girl who was going to be attacked when walking home to samantha who is ages 12. Reason we chose samantha was that she was young, vunerable, unaware and bring more impact to the audience if a young innocent girl was taken than a 17 year old teenageer. We also got rid of connor musoke jones because we didnt need him as we didnt have a secure part for him and as the story line changed he wasnt needed.

storyline

we decided to change the storyline as before hand we was gonna to the shot afterwards that we had done instead of the sister emotional and thinking her sister was dead we thought that if we showed the girl being taking and went straight to the point and you saw it, it would be eye catching and bring the audience straight in and eager to proceed on watching. We thought that it would drag on and people would get confused if we did the one we planned to do if she was in her house ready to see a grave and police outside the house the audience would assume shes dead and would get confused.

setting

we changed the location to instead of having about 3 settings to one which was located at the millpond a area which has had real problems before hand and that its in the countryside and its empty and deserted makes it more realistic and scary. Some people who live around the area may be aware of where it is but on the other hand if they havent then people will be more scared. we used the effect of black and white to drain the colour out of the shots to make the atmosphere negative and with the tension of the music it will make people on there edge of the seats as the tension through the shots will keep there eyes on the opening two minutes throughout.

Sound

we chose to add music because making it silent throughout and the fact she is walking most of the time it may be boring and dragon a bit and it will confuse people. The sound effect will help fit the mood and the emotion and feeling that the young girl is feeling and get the audience to fit in to her shoes and really be apart of the opening two minutes. When we add the music in it will be of the stages that the pale one appears this means that the character (young girl) will be oblivious of its presence but we will know and the sound effects will make it more scary for us as we will expect that to the fact of it following her it wil eventually do something. We want the audiences hearts racing throughout waiting for something to happen but dragging it on will make it more tense which will win over them and make them continue watching after the two minutes.
