Props
Pistol
-The pistol is a G18 airsoft gun.
-It will be used by the man who is hiding, however, he will not fire it. It will be on the floor up until the point that the car arrives and he will pick it up when he gets up against the wall.
-It is a typical thriller prop because most thrillers involve guns and weapons. It is also usually used by someone who is on the run.
-The gun signifies that the man isn't homeless but he is on the run and most likely dangerous. It could also give a clue as to what he did before hand.
Assault Rifles
-They are black machine guns.
-They will be used by the men who show up on the car, however, they will also not be fired.
-They are also a typical thriller prop because they are usually used by government agencies or the police.
-The rifles show the difference in power between the men carrying them and the man hiding. They are bigger and more powerful than his pistol. This also creates the effect that -he is strong if they need all of that to take him down.
The Sleeping Bag
-It is just a basic fold away sleeping bag.
-It will be placed beside the man hiding out.-It isn't a very typical thriller prop but it will aid the story line.
-The sleeping bag will create the effect that the man does not have a permanent place to live and that he is on the run.
Rucksack
-It is a big, expedition size sleeping bag.
-It will be place beside the man and his gear.
-A backpack of some sort is a common prop in crime thrillers where someone is on the run because it shows that they are mobile and that they can't stay in places for long.
-The bag will help to create the effect that he is on the run.
Canned Food and Water
-These props are tin cans of beans and tuna and there are some bottles of water.
-They will be in a pile around him.
-These are usually typical props in thrillers similar to ours, where there is someone hiding out or trying to survive.
-They will help make the protagonist appear that he is on the run and hiding out.
Family Photo
-This is a photo of the man and his wife and daughter. The photo will be folded over on him.
-The photo will be on the floor and it will be picked up by the man in the suit at the end.
-This type of prop is usually used in thrillers to show that the protagonist has a family.
-The photo will make the protagonist appear as if he has a family to lose so he is going to fight hard and strong. However, it could also imply that they are already dead so he has nothing to lose.
Litter/Newspapers
-It is food wrappers and scrunched up newspapers on the floor.
-They will be used to make the building look abandoned and like it is a dump.
-They are used in some types of thrillers where a building or area is shown to be abandoned or deserted.
-They make the setting appear abandoned and will make it appear like a good place for him to hide out.
4X4 Car
-It is a Land Rover 4X4 car.
-It will be used by the government agency and the soldiers.
-Big 4X4 vehicles are used in thriller films that involve government agencies or SWAT because it shows authority and power.
-The car create the effect that the agency and soldiers are powerful and stronger than the protagonist.
Costumes
The man (Protagonist)
-He will be wearing walking trousers, a black t-shirt, a black coat, and walking boots.
-This character's costume shows that he is on the run and follows the style of social realism, which is the typical style of the mise-en-scene in thriller films. He is mainly wearing dark clothing to make him appear mysterious and to hide his identity.
Military/Government Agency Personnel
-They will be wearing black clothing, e.g. boots, gloves and balaclavas. They will also be wearing assault vests.
-This costume has been selected because the colour adds an air of mystery to the armed group of men, and suits the typical mise-en-scene conventions in thriller films. The assault vests create the effect that these are trained soldiers with experience.
Suited Man
-He will wear a suit and smart shoes
-The suit creates an air of importance and also mystery as to why he is there and what he wants. This sense of mystery will help add to the tension, which is a key part of the thriller genre. The shoes are important because they show authority when he gets out of the car because they are different to the soldiers.
Driver
-He will wear black clothing, e.g. hat, jacket, boots and sunglasses.
-This costume was decided upon for similar reasons to the armed men because it creates mystery and surrounds the character with suspicion.
Location
Primary Location
The place that we have chosen to use for our thriller will be based in the Dunsby fens because it is an abandoned building and there is nothing around for miles. This is ideal because it will create the effect that the building is a perfect place for the protagonist to hide out.
Dirt Track
-This is a long dirt track leading up to the buildings.
-It will be used so that the 4x4 can drive down it towards the building. There will be puddles on the track (natural or man-made) which we can have the car drive through, showing a close-up, and we can have the soldiers running through them, showing a close-up again.
Abandoned Building
-This is an abandoned building in the open fen land.
-It will be used as a hide out by the protagonist because it is far away from civilisation and not in use so he will be out of the way. The building suggests that he has nowhere to go because he has committed some sort of crime.
Secondary Location
-This will simply be a short shot of a simple house in a village.
-The house will be used after the main titles when the time marker (1 week ago) appears. It will appear as if this could have been the mans old house before everything happened.
Pistol
-The pistol is a G18 airsoft gun.
