Floor plan
Seeing as one of our versions is a one shot version and we are filming in the film studio, we need to make as much space as possibe to fill out the time. To do this, we have decided that we are going to shoote the sequence in diagonals, to squeeze out as much room as possible, however this does make the filming space smaller due to the 180 degrees rule. We have also measured out half a meter and one meter in the corner, again to squeeze in as much shooting space as possible.
Lighting plan
For our lighting plan we decided that we wanted to create a feeling of earlie morning. One of the things that we have not shown in this diagram of the lighting requirements is the fact that we want to use a haze maching. This will give the earlie morning fog and mist effect. We are also using low key lighting from above, to enhanse and support this effect.
We have also put the Camera tracks in, as in the first sequence, we track the girl walking towards the noose and then hanging herself, so there will be lots of movement.

Treatment for our thriller
Treatment: Our idea started off with a girl who had the power to be able to kill people through what she writes in her folder. It involved a character called Elizabeth who was bullied at school and ended up killing the people who bullied her through this mysterious power she has.
Our Opening sequence involves Elizabeth (acted by Petrie) in the build up to her death. At the end of the sequence, we see her commit suicide by hanging herself. The sequence will be filmed in the film studio but is set in a barn / warehouse.
The reason that we decided to shoot in the film studio is because we could set it up to be however we desired, and if we were not happy with the set, we could either change it on the morning of the shoot, or edit it to look different in the post production stage. We decided that we wanted to make it look like a barn because we wanted a location where in real life, someone would be unlikely to be disturbed. The barn also has some significance in the film later on.
Our sequence generates tension through the build up to the climax where she kills herself. The tension is created through the audience not knowing what is going to happen, until it happens. The sound used of the footsteps, and voice, and the suffering is also used to create tension.
We have tried to make the sequence as simple, but effective as possible, so we only need one actress, who is Petrie Kimber playing then role of Elizabeth. We also only need to have four main props. The most important one is the diary, as the whole sequence and movie is centered around this. Then we need the noose and stall as we are shooting a hanging scene and we are also going to need hay, to create the set. We are going to need to use Genie gr12 mechanical crane to be able to achieve all of the high angle shots.

Our cast for the Opening sequence
Luckily for us, we have only had to choose one person for our cast. This is the character of Elizabeth Carter. Seeing as we decided to base the character of Elizabeth Carter on the girl out of the ring we decided to select someone who with the right makeup on, could possibly look like her. We decided that the perfect person for this, especially because she is a great actress as well would be Petrie Kimber. Another reason we decided to choose Petrie as our actress is because she appeals to the target audience, which are males aged between 16-25. The majority of boys aged in this age bracket will find her attractive, and some may go and see the film to watch her in it.
Our new Production Logo
Thanks to Davina's hard work and knowledge of artistic websites we have now produced our first attempt at our production logo.
