The brief for our task is to produce a short film, which can be up to 5 minutes long. Along with the film we have to make a promotional poster, a magazine review and do several ancillary tasks. We also have to create a blog to accompany the short film, the blog has to show everything that we did to contribute to the planning and making of the film.
We have chosen the psychological/thriller genre, the film begins with the drugging and kidnapping of one of the main protagonists and the never ending cycle idea comes into play when the girl who is taken doesn’t escape and the kidnapper leaves to chase his next victim.
Different shots and cinematography is used to show that the protagonist is under the influence of drugs, a handheld camera shows this, and editing makes it seem realistic. Low key lighting will also support the idea. The main protagonists’ stability comes into question when she is seen taking pills, this question is left unanswered and creates an enigma for the viewer, and the fact that her drugs are interchanged shows this.
Dialogue has not been included in our film because we feel the actors would not be able to create a good enough effect and it could make the film look amateur. Our film is set in 3 different locations, the first one is a small dark room, in which the antagonist keeps his victims and chooses his next ones. The second is the main protagonists’ home, from where she is kidnapped, and the third is the woods where the girl takes her dog for a walk, meanwhile the psychopathic man is in her house changing her pills.
