Location:

All shooting will be done inside a house, the opening will be inside a bedroom and throughout the 2 minutes the girl will be walking around the house (downstairs, living room and kitchen). This location is good because even though it is the girls home she is still scared and uncomfortable, this will make the audience feel worried for the girl. Most people see their home as being somewhere to escape, whereas even though the girl is at home she still feels scared- it gives the audience a feeling that she feel is stuck.

Lighting:

The lighting throughout the house will be dark because the genre is horror and by dark lighting the audience can see that something bad is going to happen. It can also reflect the girl’s mood, she is feeling sad and lost and the light can reflect those feelings. The audience can also see that the harassment is affecting how the girl is behaving as well, for example she would rather sit in darkness alone then be with friends. The audience may also think that the girl may be scared in case the stranger is waiting for her and so she’s scared to turn on the light because then they’ll know she’s home.

Cast and props:

The main and only character that will be shown in the film will be a teenage girl, I chose this age and genre because teenage girls use their phones most often so by showing this girl being harassed is shows the dangers and the power a phone can have and teenage girls usually show vulnerability so the audience may feel more for this character. The main prop being used is a mobile phone- there will be times where just the phone is shown on the camera and this is to show the importance this simple device can be ruining the girls life, I will have the girl sat with the phone next to her to show how small the phone is but how powerful it is as well. The phone is allowing the girl to be harassed but yet she feels that she can’t get rid of her phone.

Noise:

When the movie opens there will be a previous phone call being played in the background, this is because the audience can already guess what is happening to the girl, the phone call will be of the stranger that Is constantly contacting the girl. There will also be background music when the girl begins to walk around the house, the music will be tense because the girl is still feeling uneasy. When she chucks the phone in the bin she hears the doorbell ring and then there’s a lot of banging at the door, this is how the film ends with the banging on the door.
