Setting - A typical home, a Hotel, and an outdoor area where mysterious activity is taking place.
Props - Photos of a girl, which tells the audience that she may be of some importance in the story. There's a wallet, that appears to have been stolen by an unknown figure. A metal container is also shown in the opening sequence, which tells the audience that it's important and the contents of it will be shown later on in the film.
Lighting - Low key lighting is used outside, to show that the activity taking place is not of a good nature. Soft lighting is indoors to show that nothing is wrong.
Costume - The young receptionist is dressed relatively informally, telling the audience that she is unexperienced and vunurable in a way. The woman in the car is dressed in a formal manor which makes the audience believe she is smart and experienced.
Music/sound - A short, sharp punchy sound is heard when we see the wallet taken away, this tells us that it's been taken for a negative purpose. Tense orchestral music plays when the outdoor activity is taking place which makes the audience believe that what they're doing is going to cause trouble in the future.
Camera Work - A lot of close ups are used in the house, and outside (which is where all the myseterious/negative activity is taking place) which restricts what the viewer can see. This creates suspense as we are not entirely sure what is going on. Camera movement is frequently used, giving a sense of POV, making us feel as if we are at the location with the characters. The camera movement might also be used to give the impression that the characters are being watched by someone else without them noticing, which creates tension.
Health and Safety considerations:
Lighting:
When using either the red heads or the portable lights we must make sure that any waires are taped up and that the lights themselves are on a stable base as so thay do not fall and cause injury. GLoves will be used when handling these lights, especially when they are turned on to avoid buring
Props:
As we are planning to use knives in our film we must make sure that we handle them with care, especially around other people
Trains:
We are going to be filming at a train station so we must take obvious precautions to not endanger ourselves or other people that may be at the station

Synopsis of Thriller opening - David, Chris and Jamie
We want to keep the story of our thriller opening simple, but we also wish to make the veiwer want to carry on watching the rest of the film. We will do this through raising Enigma codes and use of restricted narrative.
The plot of our thriller will be based on a phycotic murderer who is pursuing a victim. We will base this in a village and the targeted victim will be at a train station when the attackes choses to strike. The victim is then taken back to a house where he is gagged and knocked out by the murderer, with the use of knives the killer will kill people from his list of targets. The list is kept in the form of pictures.
The film starts whilst the victim is on the floor of his house, there will then be a flashback and the story will follow from there.
