Script Development - Production Design

Script Development - Production Design :

Set design
The first part of the opening will be set in a park playground. The shot will take place through a chain link fence overlooking the playground. The second part of our opening will take place in an average middle class style of house, which will move to a shot of villain going down the stairs into a basement. As no one has a basement or has no means of acquiring a basement we will improvise and use a garage instead as they are both similar in appearance.  

Props
We will use a variety of props in our movie opening sequence. Are props will include fake dismembered limbs, a wheelchair, a variety of knives and sharp objects, duct tape and or shackles, dolls with their limbs broken off, a clown mask and garden shears. 

Special FX 
We will only use two different special effects in our movie opening and that would be the use of fake blood, which will consist of ketchup and red dye. Which we will have to make quite a lot of because of the nature of the scenes and we will also have to make the children and the Barbie dolls look dirty and grimy which will be done using mud and green dye. 

Lighting
The starting scene in the playground will take place on a bright day to give the impression that everything is normal and good, setting up the story in order to disrupt the characters equilibrium. The following scenes, which will take place inside a house, will also be brightly lit with normal tungsten light bulbs. We will then have the lights go darker as the villain progress’s into the house and down the basement using the darkness of going down the stairs as a bridge into the next scene. The last few scenes, which take place in the basement where we will use dim lighting as it will connote the feeling and emotions of the scene.  

Use of colour
In our movie opening we will use a range of conflicting colours in order to connote the disruption of equilibrium. In the scenes that take place in the villains home will have many warm and comforting colours such as light browns, whites and mellow reds, however the scenes that take place in the basement will have many dull colours as it will connotate a prison and that the victims are locked up.

Script Development - Characteristics

Script Development

Characteristics

Key:
Changes & (Explanation)

Age:	4 Girls – First one is 7 years old (Changed to 10 years old), her name will be Samantha (Sam).              - Second girl is 9 years old(Changed to 10 years old), her name will be Lulu.               - Third girl is 9 years old(Changed to 10 years old), her name will be Emily. You can tell the girls are young because of their childish characteristics such as their tone of voice which is very whiney. 3 of the children will be playing in a park so their age can also be determined easily by the audience. These 3 children will be dead when we enter the premise where Drake and his carer commit the murders.              - The last girl, Mary will be the one that is being tortured. She will be 6 years old. 1 Boy – looks younger (around 9 years old) but is actually older, 13 years old. His name will be Drake. (Changed to a girl because we couldn't find a boy who is 7 years old. Her name will be Ruby). He will have the mentality of a older man and therefore the audience will be able to figure this out by his actions which will show the nasty side of him and the sickness that makes him the murder (shown when he says “that’s a nice touch” – when the mum(Changed into a man carer to contrast the girl murderer) puts the teddy on the freshly murdered children. Lady who is boy’s carer – she is 40 years old. (Lady carer changed to a man carer whose name is Jack, he looks after the girl, Ruby - He is 23 years old. She is a mature, alert lady who is the carer for the boy, Drake. Her main objective is to keep Drake safe as he lost his parents therefore the carer has kept a close relationship with him in order to take care of him. She does whatever he asks with this close intention in mind. (Everything else kept the same just changed to man(carer) named Jack, looking after Ruby)
Ethnicity	Drake is mixed race, he is white and Indian Asian.(Ruby is a light skinned Black girl)  The carer is British white lady. 4 Girls: - Samantha – She is light black skinned.               - Lulu – Is Indian Asian.               - Emily – Is Indian Asian.               - Mary – She is light black skinned.
Social Class / Status	The 3 girls at the park, you can tell they were part of the higher class because they will be wearing jewellery and will have hand bags. They will also have belongings on them such as teddy bears and a Barbie doll. 3 of the girls will be well dressed in fashionable modern clothing and have neat and tidy hair. They will look clean and tidy showing that their parents take pleasure in making them look presentable. The last girl Mary, the audience will not be able to tell she is neat and tidy like the others because the first time we see her she will be in Drakes house where we see her being tortured. Boy – He is middle class. You can tell this because of the house/warehouse we see him and his carer entering it is a normal house seen on the street so you wouldn’t even consider anything such as murder would be happening inside the house. So Drake and his carer have blended into the neighbourhood and are seen as being normal individuals and not the murders they are. Carer – She will be middle class too. She does not work because she is always with Drake who is always in need of assistance.
Gender / Sexuality	The 4 girls – They portray feminine characteristics in their personality and appearance. They are young girls who walk around the park with handbags wishing to be older women. Boy – Drake. Carer – She is a female, who looks after Drake the boy and is single.(Male, Who looks after Ruby and is single).
Ability / Disability	Drake will be disabled in a wheelchair. He won’t be able to use his body and has a carer who does everything for him. She is his hands and feet.(Ruby pretends to have disabilities, she is perpetuating she pretends to have a stuttering disability as well as a limp she pretends to born with. When she gets to the warehouse/house you can see it was all a mask and she really only did it to gain sympathy).  He also uses his disability to gain sympathy from his carer who it seems will do anything for him and will be glad to do it. Drake takes full advantage of this. The carer has the ability to look past what is sane and does whatever is asked of her by Drake. She will be the one that acts out the murders as Drake uses his disability against her.
Regional Identity	Since it will be shot in North West London all characters will be originated in North West London. Park will be the Harrow Weald Park near the college. Cemetery for Grave scene will be in Harrow area. Warehouse/House in Stanmore. Every scene will be in the Harrow area in North West London.
Marital / Family Status	The relationship between the carer and Drake is like step-mum and son(Step-dad and Daughter). There is no man in their life. The carer feels guilty and will do anything for Drake.  In addition the carer has no life of her own. Her life is completely dominated by Drake. They have no family resemblance however they have a very close relationship with one another which is shown by their closeness in the deeds that they commit. The girls are not related but friends who do not know the boy. The 3 girls have built a friendship as they go to the same park. However they have no relationship with the 4th girl in the room (Drakes house).
Physical Looks / Build / Mannerisms/ Personality	Boy – Looks evil, in a wheelchair, has a twitch to his eye, looks healthy, and takes advantage of his disability. He has a mentality of a criminal yet he is childish as he likes to destroy toys and be destructive. (The toys will be shown torn apart from each other and different sections of their bodies apart etc). Drake will be well dressed and despite being a murderer cares for his appearance. He wears skull rings and plaster around his thumb which emphasise the destructiveness and the fact that he is a murderer or the voice to the murder. He gets a sense of sick pleasure from the deaths as he likes to listen to radio interviews of mothers pleading to see their children again. He has brown eyes and hair. You can tell he is strong when he grips the fence hard and this also co notates he has a bad angry temper. Carer – The audience will see she has the same mentality of Drake. She is twisted around her Drakes finger; she would do anything for him because she feels guilty that he is disabled as well as having no real mother or father. She will be seen as frail and easy to take advantage of by her hands showing she is quite old and hasn’t aged well. She cannot say ‘NO’ to him as she is a push over. She will look old have dark bags around her eyes and look messy and scruffy. In the house she has placed a picture of coco the clown which is a joke between her and Drake. Girls – 3 of them are already dead. You do not see much of them but in one of the scenes you do see them walking around with hand bags wanting to be pretty young girls. The girls at the park have a few belongings showing they like Barbie dolls and teddy bears. Samantha one of the girls has long legs and is slim. She enjoys maths and taking photographs. This will be shown in the park as she will be holding camera in the park. Lulu another girl has shoulder length hair she wears glasses and enjoys playing at the park and shopping. Emily looks similar to Lulu; she has medium length hair and enjoys comedy and having fun. She is good in school and wears glasses too. The last girl Mary is shown as scared. She is the one who will be murdered you do not see her personality as she is covered in blood. Mary will be plump looking with light black skin. All 4 girls have brown eyes and hair.
Costume / Hair / Makeup	Carer – She has messy hair tied up roughly in a pony tail. She wears track suit bottoms and a baggy top to show she is comfortable and doesn’t have the time to make herself look pretty(decent) and presentable. She has big dark under-eye circles showing she is sleep deprived and is too focused on pleasing Drake. She wears trainers for comfort and so she can do all the work that Drake requires of her. No makeup she is very natural. No extra accessories are worn. Drake – He has rugged curly hair which is brown.  He is wearing a football shirt supporting Manchester United (Not any more because the murder (Drake) is now a girl Ruby). He also has skull rings on showing his evil personality. This is in complete contrast to a boy supporting Man United. He is clean shaven and neat and tidy. Girls – At the park; They like Hannah Montana and playing with. They are wearing a Hannah Montana t-shirt; holding handbags; wearing jewellery and having fun at the park. In the house; The girls will have blood on their face. The dead girls will be bloody, messy hair and all beaten up look. Covered up in a blanket.  The other girl, Mary will look almost the same with split eyebrows etc. She will have blood over her clothes and face she also has brown hair with twists in it. Her shoulder length hair will be messy as she is being tortured.  She will also be crying blood.
Representation Issues	-          Drake is disabled and is seen in a wheelchair(limp, stuttering) which at first makes him look innocent until they see what he is actually like (at the warehouse when she stops acting with all these perpetuated disabilities). -          Drake has a twitch in his eye making him stand out similar to a typical murders appearance. -          Kid being a murderer. -          The carer represents the obsessive ‘Mother’ who cares for her child too much we will be willing to do anything for him. -          There is a twist in the representation of the female carer as she murders the 4 girls by Drakes command.(Male carer as he murders the girls commanded by Ruby).

Proposal

Brief

For this project we have been asked to produce a five minute opening sequence for a thriller for OCR. We also have to transfer all of my work and progress onto a blog and we must make sure that my film opening seems authentic and it must also be suited to my target audience. In our project we will produce some research into thrillers in order to create the best opening sequence we can and make my thriller seem genuine. We must submit my two minute opening sequence and blog to my Lecturer by March 14^th.

Research findings

From our research we have come to the conclusion that we will create a Horror thriller, as that is what our target audience enjoys the most. From our groups research into Genre, forms and conventions we found that we should have a Protagonist at the mercy of the antagonist, we should include an easy shock generated by a sudden unexpected action. We also found out that many thrillers shared common aspects for example tension building music was a big part in the different thrillers are group researched also In all our thrillers we also noticed that the characters in all our films equilibrium was disturbed and that is what set up the story.

From our research into Target audience we found that our target age group was the 15+ market and that they enjoyed watching horrors the most out of a variety of different genres. We also found that our target audience like having mystery in the films they watch as it makes it more interesting for them however they do not like it when the story gets too complicated so our group must take this into consideration when coming up with ideas for our film opening sequence. In terms of subject matter in Horror we found that many modern horrors contain a variety of different villains and that there are three types of killers which are found in a vast amount of popular horrors and they are the intelligent type who are usually portrayed as being physically weak but incredibly intelligent and manipulative with strong sadistic tendencies, the crazy type who is usually portrayed as scorned women or sometimes just normal people who have become mentally unstable due to an event in their lives and finally there is the extremely strong and durable type who is a lot of the time linked with the supernatural as they never seem to die, this type of villain is usually shown to lack intelligence or in some cases be mentally challenged and kill with no clear motives. Our group believes that our opening sequence will be of most interest to major film companies because it will share many of the themes and aspects that many hit blockbusters use as they are what attract and appeal to the main target audience of the genre.    

Jasmine’s Initial Idea

I chose this idea based on the questionnaires and interviews we did and the research I received out of them. In the questionnaire most people said that the character is a main influence in a films success and a lot of people found a younger character to be more haunting and thrilling. Therefore my movie is based on a younger killer/murder. As well as that I found out the start of the film builds up whether someone will want to pay attention to the rest of the movie or whether they wouldn’t bother as much, so I used a lot of symbolism  as I find it acts on the build up of the plot. As research showed that the plot holds the whole film in place. Overall I tried to make my idea create tension as the girl is killing people that are close to her. Therefore leaving the audience wanting to know why? And what will happen next? at the end of the sequence.


- Start with a blank screen, hear toilet flush. 

- See toilet close up, water swirling from the flush, with a Barbie doll being held in it.

- Hear someone laughing - cute innocent laugh. 


- Crane up to little girl (Chinese?) (Pale, black/dark hair, big eyes?).



- Door bell rings.


- See her grinning.


- Picks up teddy bear from the floor, the teddy bear head is hanging off in the meantime you 


have heard her Barbie drop in the toilet (plop sound).


- She hops and skips down the stairs you see her feet passing the camera. As you see the 


ground around her feet you see various pieces of toy parts all dismantled, torn or broken. 

- See point of view of her looking around the interior from the bottom of the stairs. 

Looks through letter box - see postman then get postman’s view looking at girls eyes peeping 
through.


 - He says “hi….(name)…. Its just me. Where is your mum.


- Girl recognizes him and opens the door “come on in…mummy is in the kitchen”.

- Turns around as he passes following him.

- Post man enters where your mum…is turns around to look at girl. 

- Girl say there and points opposite him. He is staring at the dead body in disbelief.- “who did this?”

- See close up of knife in her hand with blood trickling from it and dropping the teddy in the other hand.


- Black screen here him screams and acts confused and screeching. - gagging blood coming out.- Mother twitching holding hand out as if to help him only she is on opposite side can’t move- twitching.

- Girl turns to mum grinning “mummy I brought you a friend”…Silence… “Have fun” and she walks out looking grim with a grin rising on her face. Camera follows her as grin starts then fades out as her grin becomes full.

Zamu’s Initial idea

Focusing on our BBFC Guideline research, my idea was to explore a thriller film that met the guidelines of a 15+ certificate film. This entails being able to use strong threat and menace, have the characters display dangerous behaviour like killing, suicide and use strong language however we must not glamorise, dwell or show in strong detail any of these as aspects in our film. Sexual activity and violence is also permitted but again, these aspects should not be showed in detail or promoted in any way.

My idea: Best friends till you die...

Its night time and a little girl named Emily is sleeping in her bed. The camera pans across her room from left to right showing a bookshelf with a range of books and right in the middle stands a porcelain doll with its eyes closed. The camera continues to pan across the room highlighting Emily sleeping on her bed. The camera then tracks from the bottom of her bed to the top keeping Emily’s sleeping body in frame. Once it reaches her sleeping face, the camera cuts to the porcelain doll whose eyes are now open. Incidental music is heightened at this point. We then get a point of view shot from the porcelain doll showing that the doll is staring directly at Emily. We then hear a child’s voice saying ‘Emily...Emily!’ the camera cuts to a close up of the dolls face and the cuts to Emily’s sleeping face again. We here a voice again calling out for Emily and this time Emily hears the call and immediately, the camera gets an extreme close up of her eyes opening very fast and wide. She then turns immediately to face the porcelain doll and the camera gets a point of view shot of her looking at the porcelain doll. The camera them cuts to the porcelain doll and then a point of view shot of the doll looking at Emily while the doll says ‘it’s time.’ Emily then gets up out of her bed emotionless pulling the white blankets away from her. She then walks towards the book shelf and pulls a chair from her desk and stands on it in order to reach the porcelain doll. She grabs it with both hands and steps off the chair. She then walks towards her bedroom door and opens it. She walks straight towards the stairs and once she reaches down stairs she switches on the corridor lights.  She then walks towards the kitchen door. The camera tracks in front of her while she walks towards the kitchen. The camera then zooms into the dolls face as the doll says ‘now you remember what we planned don’t you? Aahahahahahah.....’ the camera gets a behind shot of Emily walking into the kitchen. The door closes behind her. We see the lights switch on from beneath the door and then hear a draw opening and the rummaging of cutlery. Then we hear the sharpening of a knife. We hear the doll say ‘sharper!’

The screen fades to black and it’s the next scene. The camera pans across the bedroom like before but this times its morning. The light is shining through the curtains. There is no porcelain doll on the book shelf anymore. The camera continues to track from the bottom of Emily’s bed to the to top but no body is in the bed but soon as the camera reaches the top of the bed. We see the porcelain doll in the centre of bed and her eyes slowly open. We then here Emily’s mothers voice calling out for her saying ‘Emily... are you awake darling? It’s time for school.’ she looks through the door and see’s Emily is not there the screen fades to black. We still here Emily’s mother calling out for her saying ‘Emily...You downstairs honey?’ we here footsteps going down stairs ‘Emily...Emily...’ then we here doors opening and then finally the mother screams.  Police sirens are then heard and the porcelain doll’s laughter is heard.

Anthony’s Initial Ideas

Inspired by the fact that our audience liked Horrors my idea involved certain concepts that I found out in my research such tension building and a disturbance in the Equilibrium.

Idea 1

- Close up of women cooking

- Cut to POV shot of someone looking through window at woman 

- Door bell rings

- Extreme close up of knife in woman’s hand being placed on counter

- Cut to woman opening door

- Its police they say that they are looking for someone

- Close door

- Women walks back to kitchen knife is gone

- Woman looks for knife then goes on floor

- Shot of her hands looking in dark area

- Cut to shot of woman on floor with someone standing behind 

- Sinister music starts

- Close up of person hand grabbing woman’s hair

- Close up of knife

I chose to make my opening like this as it includes some points from my research for example the use of tension building music as well as not showing the face of the killer to add a sense of mystery. I also disturbed the equilibrium of the character by introducing an intruder into her house.

Idea 2


- POV shot of someone dazed and confused in a dark dingy room

- Mid shot of teenager tied up in middle of room on chair 

- Teen starts to panic, close up of arms binded by rope wriggling around


- Sound of footsteps

- Door opens 

- Man in nice suit wearing a mask that’s not threatening on the other side

- Mid close up of teen who starts to ask where they are and who the person is and that they want to go home and they start to cry

- Villain starts to walk closer

- Over the shoulder shot of villain silencing teen by gagging them with a cloth 

- Over the shoulder shot of teen as villain reaches into inside jacket pocket and pulls out a big knife and places it on a tray beside person

- Villain then takes out surgical gloves and puts them on 

- Close up of villains face as they start to laugh manically 

- Extreme close up of villain picking up knife 

- Mid close up to extreme close up zoom of teens face as they scream

Inspired by the fact that our audience liked mystery I chose to create this idea for an opening focusing on this. I did this by placing the antagonist in a strange and unfamiliar environment creating mystery from the beginning. Then I increase the mystery by introducing a new character who is wearing a mask to conceal their identity I also incorporated the feel of a modern horror like ‘Saw’ with the torture aspect. 

Sagar’s Initial Idea

In my research and questionnaires that i did i found that the most people liked action thriller movies followed closely by horror and sci-fi. Based on this research and what people like to see in a good movie i have included this in my idea,

Overall Plot
The overall plot is of a zoo owner who is telling a story on a tour of the zoo to some children. There have been several unsolved accidents involving children disappearing when over the last month. The police are beginning to suspect the zoo owner, however as the plot progresses, it appears that he is innocent. In the last scene of the film it is revealed that he has an evil twin, that he thought has died at birth, but hadn’t and has come back for revenge.

Opening Sequence

- The first shot is a close up of the name of the zoo and the electronic gates open.

- Then it cuts to a shot of a stingray swimming along the glass.

- Then a wide angle shot of a young boy with his face pressed up against the glass. With the stingray parallel to him.

- An alarm starts going off with an announcement saying “this is an emergency everyone please evacuate the building immediately”.

- Long shot of everyone running to exits looking worried.

- Then a close up shot of mother’s face with a look of despair! Shouting “Where’s my son?”

- She turns, and looks down a corridor, and hears a faint cry for help.

- As she goes to investigate the lights go out. She screams “Daniel”.

- She starts to run towards the noises, and slips over a wet substance.

- She pulls out her Zippo lighter to see what’s happened and finds blood all over her. 

- She slowly lifts the lighter up, hands shaking, looking to see in front of her. Cut back to long shot. Fade to black.

Final idea

Why we chose this idea...
We ended up deciding on our final idea by intertwining all out different initial ideas together as much as we could while making sure it made sense and a thrilling story plot. We used the idea of having a young murder from our ideas yet as some of us ha a different age group as a murder we added that to make the murder have a companion that helped someone older. We found using different ethnicities and having a variety of people with different character backgrounds gives a thriller a more tense and interesting plot. Therefore we have tried to incorporate as many as possible. Using a disabled boy as the murder with his mother as the companion which adds history to the film as a mother is seen as always needing to do what her child wants keeping them happy. We also tried to add symbolism and have an input of everyone’s ideas so that each group member agreed for this to make up our final idea.

Finished Final Idea

Open scene with a young girl aged around 7 playing on the swings in a park all by herself. Someone in a wheel chair is watching her behind the park gates. We only see parts of the person in the wheel chair like their hands and feet. We hear them breathing heavily as they watch the girl play.

The credits then begin to run.

We then see three flashes of three gravestones on the screen. All of them of young girls.

The person in the wheelchair then wheel them selves away from the park down the road. As the person wheels themselves down the road, the cuts at random times to the inside of a house which is dark and dirty looking and the last time it cuts to the house, we see a woman walking down the stairs into the dark n dirty corridor of the house.

The person in the wheelchair then finally reaches the exterior of the house and we get a point of view shot the person in wheelchair looking at the exterior of the house. Person in wheel chair then wheels themselves towards the house until they reach the front of the door to which a woman opens the door and says ‘right on time.’ Also when she opens the door, we immediately hear a muted radio playing in the background, inside the house.

The woman wheels person in wheelchair into interior of house. As she does so, we see torn teddy bears, broken dolls, dirty children’s shoes and even the odd bloody finger laying haphazardly on the corridor and blood hand prints on wall.

The sound of the radio starts to become clearer when blood prints are shown and as the woman open door into a room.  We then get the person in wheelchairs point of view looking at a desk with the radio on it. We can see stuff is on the desk. The camera then cuts to a bird’s eye view shot of stuff on desk. The stuff is newspaper cuttings of articles and pictures of children who are missing. Some are blood stained.

We then get a point of view shot of person in wheelchair slowly looking at the desk and turning their head toward the corner of the room where we see the dead bodies of three children covered up with a blood soaked blanket. We then hear the screaming and squirming of a young girls voice to which the person in the wheelchair then turns their head to see a young tied up on a chair, squirming, crying and bruised. We then see the person in the wheelchairs face. It’s a young boy! He then says ‘won’t you stop crying!? You’re my friend now.’ The boy then looks to the woman beside him saying ‘Mary?’ while nodding his head. Mary then nods back and pick up a dirty looking blood stained hedge trimmer lying beside the wall and walks towards the tied up girl. The screen then fades to black as we hear the hedge trimmer being started and the screams of the girl get louder and louder. We then see blood splattering on the wall and the name of the film appears!  ‘You’re My Friend Now’ in bold, red lettering.
