Planning: M.E.S

Lighting:
We aregoing to use low key lighting through out our thriller opening because low key lighting is the most typical lighting expected to be in a thriller by a audience because low key lighting represents danger and keep the audience on edge because they can not clearly see what is happening or clearly see what is happening in a scene or cant clearly see the antagonist this keeps the audience on edge as they dont know what is going to happen next because the situation is not clear to them.

Setting:
Our thriller will be set in a swing park and a family home because the swing park in scene as a safe place for children to play and have fun but we are portraying it as a scary haunted park where are female victim is being tormented by the little ghost girl who is the antagonist in the thriller this will make the audience feel fear because they dont see childrens play grounds as unsafe place so this will catch them off guard as they will not expect a childrens playground to be like that. We are using the family home because this setting is typical to the thriller genre this setting has been used in many films such as scream and paranormal activity. This setting is typicaly used because people see there home as somewhere that is safe and they can not be harmed but the setting is usualy used to catch them off guard and show that the victims home is the most unsafe place they can be this is the reason a we are using this setting to always keep the audience guessing.

Iconography:
We are going to use a doll as the iconography in our thriller as this is related to the little girl we are using in our thriller because when the older girl sees the dollshe recognizes it and then realises what is going on and this makes her become terrified and thwn run home also the doll is then seen with the little girl the first time you see her and then you realise how the older girl and the little girl are related.

Costume & Har and Make up:
The costume that we are going to use is light coloured jeans and a t shirt for the older the light colours will be used to show how innocent the loder girl is and make the audience clearly see that she is the victim. The little girl will be wearing a white dress with white make up to make her look pale and will have messy hair this is used to make the girl seem inoccent but then makes the audience suprised when they find out that the little girl is the antagonist.

Body language & Facial expression:
The older girl will have very confident and comfertable body languagebut as the opening plays out she will become more adgitated and on edge as she is getting more and more scared. The little girls body language will be strange and demon like as she is a ghost trying to get her revenge. The older girl will have a calm happy facial expression at the start of the film but as it plays out her facial expreassion will become more and more terrified. The little girl will have a emotionless facial expression so that the audience will see that she is not a nice sweet little girl.
