Settings: A misterious hidden location where the kidnapper 'deals' with his victims.
Where the thirteen year old girl is walking home from school, a remote lane.
-From the flash backs, memories of her childhood: Family home, in a garden
Costume: 13 year old girl has to wear light colours, ie white or pink, or school uniform which would both pertray her innocence.
The kidnapper isn't seen, so not necessary costume, but costume would be black, incase of any glimpses. In a way, this adds to the binary opposition of dark versus light.
From flash backs, there are two obtions we have to consider: Just using pictures from childhood, or the actual action: All the family would be wearing light colours to pertray happier times.
Props: Pictures from childhood, from happy family occasions.
School uniform, school bag.
The bag which is put over the 13 year olds head.
The red pen to mark off the girls name/picture.

Some thoughtful and highly relevant research here. Well done. I like the use of the Missing poster and the lists of names of little girls that the kidnapper has written. Questions: who will be acting your child (at the different ages)? How confident are you that they will perform well in front of the camera? What location options do you have for the kidnapper's lair? How have these themes (missing people, kidnapping, stalking) been delat with by directors previously? Find some extracts to analyse for camera and editing particularly and learn from experienced directors...
ReplyDeleteWe will be looking into this further, and will be thinking about using Sophie's younger sister, as she is the age of the 13 year old. For the location, there is the option of Sophie's garage as his lair, as it is quie big cold and dark looking. However we are still thinking of the possiblities though.
