The Social NetworkInspiration from real filmsCharacters: Hayley
Stark (Ellen Paige).With the consideration of the age of the
character, her representation connotes her vulnerability. This
stereotype is challenged because she soon appears to be the more
dominant role in the end.
The colour used in this scene was very sterile Inspiration from
real filmsPhone Booth:This film is very intense and suspenseful as
the villain is unknown. In the film the man has to stay on the
phone with the villain, or the villain will kill his loved one
however, ultimately the man knows he will die.
When a stranger calls:This is a thriller film which also has a
villain whos identity is unknown and this relates to our opening
sequence. In this film a teenaged girl goes over to babysit at some
peoples house and while there she starts getting calls from an
unknown number.There turns out to be a masked man in the house, and
the girl has to save herselfAnd the children she is
babysitting.

would your target audience be interested in you film because of the
idea/plot?Our target audience will be interested in our film
because it would relate to their daily lives (e.g social networking
and the character going about her life) and this would make it more
thrilling/suspenseful.
Why would your target audience be interested in your film
because of the form (how the film is constructed= editing,
transitions, music, etc)?Our target audience would be interested in
the music as it would create another level to the suspenseful
atmosphere already constructed by the film itself.
Why would your target audience be interested in your film
because of the genre & conventions?Our target audience would be
interested because the film does reinforce some conventions however
it also develops them so they might like to see how we have changed
the genres conventions to make the film more exciting for them to
watch.Locations: Caf scene
We thought this would be a good place to film because it would
allow Rosie to be close enough to film Laura but also far enough
for Laura not to see her.We also thought it would be good as there
is a lot of natural light and it is fairly empty in the early
morning.Locations
We picked this road because pedestrians have to stop half way
and this would mean that Rosie and Laura could stand close to each
other.We chose this as the location for Rosies desk as it is a
bright room with a desk and it is quite big so we are able to move
around.Actors/characters
