Planning - Lighting
We have decided to use low key lighting in the forest and in the dark room, this creates mystery and tension which conforms to the conventions of a thriller. We will also use red light in the dark roo for a realistic effect.
We will use bright normal lighting for the forensic scene, this will give a realistic professional effect

Costume
The celebrity, Played by Marina, will wear red clothing, high heels, make up, done up hair, and bruises. The celebrity will wear red clothing to stand out and this will make the viewers identify with her, showing she is the main character. The celebrity Will come across as very glamorous will conform with the typical conventions of a celebrity. The bruises will tell the viewers that the celebrity has been harmed.
The stalker, played by Matt, will wear a black hooded jumper, black trousers, black gloves and black shoes. We decided that the stalker will wear all black for a mysterious and suspicious look. It also hides the identity of the stalker which conforms to the narrative of our film.
The policewoman, Played by Hannah, will wear a typical conventional policewoman outfit. A police hat, black blazer, white shirt and a tie. This will let the viewer easily identify who the character is.
The forensic scientists played by Taylor and Shanna, will wear a conventional white overall. This will let the viewer easily identify who the character is.

feedback
- costume for stalker: dark dirty maybe some overalls
- non linear structure is good.
- maybe the dead body should be the last shot? - with shots following the stalker to the body?
Things from feedback, we are considering to change:
- we are considering putting the body shot at the end of the sequence to add to suspense, and wondering what all the police are investigating and what the stalker is doing with all the photos.
- one of the members of our group is able to get some overalls for the stalker to wear.
- we are keeping the structure non linear, although having the body at the end of the sequence makes it a bit more linear than our original idea.
- we're not sure about filming the person walking up to the body, because we want it to be more of a suspense, if you see the person walking up to the body it doesn't create the same atmosphere that we intend on creating, we are however, considering seeing the body and the seeing the stalker through the trees in the distance, as from a distance you wont see the exact identity of the stalker, so it's still a mystery.

Idea for film.
Entire film.
Narrative:
A local celebrity has got a stalker, and she gets killed, and there's an investigation to find out who the killer is... Throughout the film, there are clues as to who the stalker could be, many people are in the frame, however, you don't find out who the killer is until the end of the film.
Characters: victim, murdered/stalker, police officers.
Atmosphere: spooky, eerie atmosphere.
Sub genre: crime and psychological thriller.
Title: Fixation.
Opening Sequence.
Shot list:
1. Establishing shot - Long shot of the dead body in the forest
2. Over the shoulder shot - stalker in the photo room beginning to develop a photograph
3. Shot of the white board in the police investigation.
4. Zoom towards the dead body
5. Low angle from the side of the stalker
6. Police meeting about the crime
Continual flashes between all three locations.
References to the rest of the film
Murder, stalker. The dead body, the police investigation, wanted posters.
Mise-en-scene:
-Setting: forest, the dark room, police investigation room.
-Lighting: dark, low key lighting, no bright light.
-Props: whiteboard, photographs, posters, map
-Costume: police outfit, forensic suit
-Colour: dark, dingy
Sound: Non-diegetic voices, music; eerie - dubbed over the top (non-diegetic)
Camerawork: When seeing the stalker, it'll be over-the-shoulder shots, and shots from behind so that you don't see their face. Zooming to the dead persons face. Low angles of stalker, high angles of the dead person.
Editing: Fast paced, non-chronological, faded transitions,
