Further planning

This is an example of further planning of our thriller opening. We considered options such as a non-digetic voice over to begin our piece and set the scene. It will provide a short description of the town and expand to talk about the forest (the setting for our scene) and supply any other details the audience may find relevant. Also on this sheet we planned out the costumes for the characters, and a list of props and equipment we will need on the day of filming. This list comprised of

• white powder to make the victim look dead
• red lipliner and blusher to create a strangulation mark
• hiking poles
• crime scene tape *
• white sheet *
• camera and tripod
• holly's camera
• voice recording device *

* revised, and not needed. We were thinking about adding a third scene to our piece where a detective investigating the case is taking photos and examining the body and utilising the crime scene tape, white sheet to cover the body and a voice recorder. We later deemed this scene unnecessary as we felt that the two scenes we already had were enough to create an effective opening to a thriller.
