Final Idea expanded:

As we discussed as a group that we would merge together two ideas to make our final idea, after taking the feedback we got from our focus group, we found that there were good and bad points about idea two and idea three, but put together it made a great storyline. Idea two being the hostage situation, and idea three being the religious control freak dad, that kills his daughter as he cannot controll her. However, we would slightly change both our ideas to make the final idea more unique. Our final idea would be that there would still be a religious controll freak however, it wouldn't be his daughter that was his victim, but a girl he fantisised over, and as he couldn't have her, no-one else could.

Characters:
Victim- girl. Hannah will play this role.
The girl who the attacker falls for and becomes infatuated with. Victim is completely unware of attacker stalking her, constanly watching her, and his plot to kidnap her. Helpless and vunerbale as to the situation she finds herself in.

Attacker- Male. Henry will play this role.
He is a religious controll freak, that starts an obession with a teenage girl many years younger than him. He follows her, and watches her, spends all his time thinking about her and plotting plans on how he can capture her one day, so he can convince her to be with him. The character has someone how got his hands on a picture of the girl and constantly keeps it with him, close to his heart.

Drug Dealer- Girls boyfreind. Kingston will play this role.
His is boyfriend to the victim in this storyline. He has contact with the religious man, as he supplies his drugs however, he is un-aware of the mans obsession with his girlfriend. He think his girlfriend is un-aware of what he gets up to however, she knows and so does the religious man know. Which is one of the reasons he captures her as he is so in love with her, he dosent want anyone to cause her any harm, so he wants to take her away from the situation she is in with her boyfreind.

Costumes for Characters:

Victim- Hannah.

Casual everyday clothing. This represents just your average teenage girl, just living in a normal everyday way, doing what she would do on a normal every day, with what she would normally wear. The differences in clothing e.g. colours/logo's/types of clothing show variations in characters from one to another. Freedom of what to wear show the victim as this precise moment thinks she is free to do what she wants without being controlled. Which is what the attacker hates, he wants to be the one to controll her.

Henry- attacker.

Smart posh clothing. This shows power and authority, also shows that the owner of this clothing has some form of money to afford such luxerious clothing. This could also be connected his religious side, as he wants to look smart and well presented in the presance of god. This kind of clothing suggests he goes walking into the forrests on shooting ventures, which can we deduce as an audience that he has shot/does shoot animals. Which would make the reader think he is quite able to shoot something bigger than an animal or does have acess to a weapon to do so, which makes us as an audience fear for the victim.

Kingston- drug dealer.

A hoody is a sterotypical 'bad boy' peice of clothing, that would be worn by a gang member or a rebel. In a typical everyday situation thugs wouldn't be assoicated in criminial activity such as stealing, pocession of illegal substances or objects, vandalism, or general upset to society. A hoody hides the identity of a person and stops there face from being fully shown. Within our thriller opening we are sticking to this sterotypical theme as it creates a tense atmosphere.

Props/Objects:

Bible

Used at the beggining for credits. Also shown throughout, close up of certain wording or lines of verses that links into our theme/moral of our opening of our film.

Syringe

Used to inject the victim sending them un-concious for a period of time, while the attacker gets them to where they want to keep them captive. You will see the attacker filling his syringe with a substance before he reaches the girl.

Map

This is used as part of a plan to capture his victim, used as a distraction while he injects her.

Pills

Used in the drug scene between the religious man and the girls boyfreind. This will show to the audience they are both bad news.

Rosemary beads

Religion aspect that the attacker keeps with them at all times, to feel the presance of god with them at all times, in hope that god will forgive him for the actions he has taken.

Religious aspects of our thriller:

Title of our film:      'The Disciple'

Google definition: A disciple is a follower and student of a mentor, teacher, or other wise figure'

 Christianity Background:
As a group, we all chose a main focus that we would stick to on the christian belief, we choose the ten commandments. As a christan it is imperative that you follow all of these. One of these particular relate to our idea of our thriller being commandment number six.

1. Have no other gods.

 2. Have no idols.

 3. Honor God's name

. 4. Honor the Sabbath day.

 5. Honor your parents.

 6. Do not murder.

 7. Do not commit adultery.

 8. Do not steal.

9. Do not perjure yourself

. 10. Do not covet.


As a group, we also focussed on good vs evil.
How god and his 12 disciples teach the good in life and, and everything that should be done.
Whereas, lucifer who is the devil, is the temptation there that misleads you from good to evil.
       
                         
Production Criteria:
'Outcast productions'

Credits/Titles:
It is essential that as a group we include our full names, candidate numbers and the title for our film in our two minuite opening. We really wanted to do them to a good standard as sometimes it can look poor and un-proffesional due to not good editing techniques.

We decided on keeping the titles black and white, as we were placing them inside the bible, we wanted to portray the effect that they are actually part of the bible. The black and white text also connote good and evil, which links back to the christanity image of good being God and evil being Satan. Two complete different personalities that believed in something so much they were willing to die for it.

Font/Lettering:
As we our including our titles into our bible to make it look like they are meant to be there, as if it is part of the book we need to make them up to an acceptable standard, to give of this image. On our first attempt at doing so, we handwrote them in a red felt tip, to symbolise blood and pain. However, this didn't fit in with the image we were looking for, and we were not 100% happy with the material we had. Which is when we came up with the idea of using text on the computer, as this made it look the closest to a bible effect as possible. This method made it look alot more proffesional, and up to a better standard, which is what we were aiming for.
