Construction

In this tab I will show the process into which our production was made. Including creating the logo's, soundtrack, voice-over and shots from filming.

Filming

Overall when filming we included four main locations in our opening. However when we were creating our storyboards, we initially agreed on having three location settings but this changed once we started to film.

Location one was the kitchen. We believe this location worked well since its creates verisimilitude since it’s a typical everyday location. This location worked really well as a convention to add more tension into our opening. This location helped the audience to understand the plot and genre of the film since it’s the first shot we see of the antagonist past.
Location two was filmed in a garden due to the scene involving a fire pit. This allowed us to create tension and have control over what we intended to do with the fire helping to make it more effective.
Location three worked much better than we expected. We were originally going to film in a corridor however we then decided it would look more effective if it was filmed in the p.e changing rooms (corridor) .This worked well since it was dark, wooden and old looking which are better conventions for a thriller. Also it was quite spacious so it was easier to film.
Location four was filmed the toilets which linked to location three so this made it easier to film since it flowed much better when editing. The toilets were old looking and had dull colours matching the image better of prison toilets. This helped to add tension and verisimilitude.

The props we used did not change from what we originally planned on using.

The props helped us by adding verisimilitude into our production and adding to the plot. One prop we used was tomato ketchup which we used in order to create the look of blood. When editing, this looked similar and you couldn't directly tell it was tomato ketchup.
We researched into props in order to see what we could included and to suit

the antagonist’s personality. So, we added a knife in the flashback scene and makeup. The knife was used because it's a normal, everyday object however was effective to tension. Again, our main convention was to add verisimilitude into the antagonist's actions and personality. The makeup was used to do this.As in the change over scene, it adds a sense of feminism to her. This at the same time

, compliments the narrative of portraying she has changed.
The fire & passport was used at the start and end, which is symbolic to her changing identity and the association with fraud, as she is putting her past life behind her and going to run away.

  Overall, the outfits were very similar to how we expected to portray the antagonist throughout. We were really pleased with the difference in how they looked, from casual joggers for the convict outfit to the smart, blouse and skirt for the officer. When editing, we realised that the shirt isn't typical to what an officer would wear due to the pattern. However, we didn't find this to be a massive issue as the outfit is still smart and contrasts to the first outfit. The shoes were just normal, smart shoes that we thought applied to both outfits. We also felt this more applied to our antagonist and our target audience, as the outfits and bag were all owned by Amelia who is playing the convict. Which again as a better sense of it be real.
