The protagonist "Laura Golding" is a reflection of an average
teenage girl. The shot showing Laura in the mirror adds to the
stalker element as we rarely see from her point of view. The
protagonist represents the girl next door.. I compared our protagonist with with other
characters who i felt like she was similar to.
PROTAGONIST
Firstly I compared her to a character very similar to her... Alison from Pretty little liar, she is the girl next door who is stalked by a bully - They are both in similar situations and are around the same age The Other characters I compared her to one female protagonist from Teen wolf – Lydia. Similar costume, same situation – in danger, middle class
"Unknown" makes the genre clear as its the introduction of the villain causing
instant tension.
the audience watches from the point of view of the villain. This make the
audience feel nervous for our protagonist who is being watched.
He represents a troubled teen because he has this obsession with Laura.
ANTAGONIST
I compare our character to again one from pretty little liars I chose the stalker character because of the similarities, like the black hoodie, the sense of danger they bring when in a scene, that their faces are not shown creating mystery and intrigue..... this allows there to be a big reveal of the character later on.
Mise-en-scene
Setting : Girls bedroom is light purple it create a girly atmosphere, a typical girls room shown the makeup box that
is set up next to phone to really emphasise it.
High street representing time period which is modern day.
Costume: Guy - Black hoodie representing male - hood up
represents mystery of not knowing who is under the hood
Girl - Mostly black with white fashionable shirt represent typical
teenage girl
no one is wearing any bright colours as that would subvert the genre which
is why everyone is wearing dark clothes to conform to the thriller
genre.
MISE-EN-SCENE AND CAMERA
Camera Slow pan across pictures builds tension right before meeting the
antagonistExtreme close up on girls face adds
to mystery always making sure that the camera was behind the hooded figure so that
the question will continuously be "who is he?"
Long shot and shot were objects are place in front e.g. branches
emphasizes the stalker element of the film
Sound
very little dialogue is used as it adds to the intrigue of the opening and doesn't giving
anything away
non diegetic sound is used for the majority of the opening,
the soundtrack is eerie but not to creepy as we really didn't want to make it seem as if it
was a horror film. the soundtrack later on becomes louder as the opening add to
build tension
SOUND AND EDITING
Editing Dissolving – as she walks down a long road her. The dissolve edit
shows that time is passing implying that she has been watched for a long time
Match-On-Action – was successful as our protagonist went through
the door Continuity editing – is shown
throughout the opening, adding a sense of realism to the opening. Cutting we used a lot right at the start between the two characters
at the same time.
