we were thinking of using parts of this song.

Initial plot ideas

We have thought that we could use a shot of a man (detective) reading a case file in the past, the original case file and then a cross cut to the present day with a women reading the old case files. Next switching to a cross cut a old fraid rope, in the barn swinging, with the man reading the case files. We thought that Mr Owen could be the man and the women could be Miss King.

we thought we could use the voice over as the peersons thoughts so it could be a different actor to voice actor.

we could use sub titles

Our final idea is to beging with a shot of a man, Mr Owen, writting a case file of the murder 20 years ago. Then we see a shot of a woman reading the case file in the present. Then we fade to an old rope swinging in a barn, symbalising the murder weapon of the past killings. Then we see a chase scene, starting in a forest and ending with the woman trapped in a barn. We then see a new rope, already tied in shape of noose, hanging over a beam and resting on the floor, clearly being prepeard for use.

Examples of other A-Level Media films

we were looking at some privious films and we thought that the shot in the burnt out car in this film was really good and we could do somthing similar for our film, we would even use the same car in the same woods.

we were looking into general conventions of thrillers and what camera angles and conventions they use for making a thriller, the slideshow tells us about the different camera angles and mise en scene.


this is wickham st pauls and the surrounding area.

Possible locations

Our group we thought we could use 2 or 3 different locations for example we could use daves farm and mabe rippers alley in hedingham.

After some deliberation we decided to definatley film in Wickham st pauls and acompanying countryside.

Possible locations for our film are Rippers alley, Dave's House and land and sudbury bus station also sturmer on a street we found.

Some of our ideas.

first of all we thought we should start with happy music but then we decided that to set the scene in less than two minutes we will need some slow suspensive music. We thought maybe something like the dead silence theme song or just take some ideas from it and compose our own.

we thought about filming down an alley, or in an old building with a man and a girl. we thought of a chase or follow scene but then thought that this wouldn't be original but then we thought if we made it original it might not be very good, so we could try and do something original and unoriginal at the same time.
