We are using discarded clothes on the floor of the woods because that is how the girl finds the shack as she follows them. This is typical to a thriller as it adds mystery and leaves the audience wanting to know more.

Our idea was to have a hand fall out of a door to give the audience something to think about. Why is it there? What happened? How long has it been there? This will intrege the audience to carry on watching as they will want to know what happens.

 

 

 

We are using a shack-like building as that is where the story starts. We might change the shack into an abandoned building like a barn because of the convenience of the location but it will still be the main building in the opening. By using this kind of building it builds tension- lots of corners, and lots of abandoned rubbish to hide under.

We are using a footprint in the mud because that is another element that makes the girl go to the shack as well as the clothes. She does this as she is confused and wonders what it leads to. This was one of first ideas, so may not be included. However the footprint may give a clue to what kind of person it is. As it looks like a trainer, you would associate that with a male figure so this again leaves you in suspense.

We are using a mobile phone because after the girl gets locked in the shack she pulls out her phone to see if she has a signal. The phone will help create suspense as the signal bar will go down. This is typical to a thriller- a girl on her own, stumbling across an old shack, leaving the audience wanting to know more.
