If we used famous actors....
Actress- Girl
If we created a world wide film, we would use Vanessa Hudgens to play the role of the young vulnerable girl. She is a 25 year old actress from California. She played the role of Cindy in Frozen Ground, a young, stripper that was very self conscious and aware of herself. She was then captured and abused, whilst on the run she became very vulnerable and scared. Therefore she would work perfectly in our film as the girl is running away from an ex-boyfriend that has drugged and trying to kill her.
Actor-Male
Zachary Quinto would be a good actor to play the part of the ex-boyfriend that spikes the girl and chafes her eventually killing her. Quinto has a mysterious look about him connoting that he is a villain and has an underlying motif.

Target audience
When we were creating the story line and the plot of our thriller production, we had to take into consideration who we were aiming the film at. As we are all teenage girls, we thought it would be easier to aim the film at a young adults, as we would understand what they like and enjoy. We used a young girl (actual age of 16 playing a girl aged 21) as this allows the young audience to relate to the girl, making it much more scary. We also used a young male actor, aged 22 to create that suspense and again reinforcing the fact that the audience can relate to him and the situation.

Production Make-Up
Production Make-Up 
When organising the make-up to use for our production, we wanted to create the look of a victim, young girl that has been through a traumatic time. We used a light coloured base to show she is cold and scared. The black around the eyes connotes that shes has been crying and also portrays fear. We used the bright pink lipstick again as this was used in the pub scene, therefore bringing the scenes together and creating a more natural and realistic film.

Weather Preparations for Filiming
Weather
We had to make sure the weather was right before we planned to film. We found it difficult to plan the filming time and use it wisely as we only had a space of roughly 30 minutes, where the lighting was perfect. It was extremely difficult to film when it is pitch black, as even though the camera has night mode, it did not allow use to create the atmosphere we wanted. Before planning filming time we checked the weather forecast and realised it would be dry, but windy, this is exactly the weather we needed. Locations for Filming
Primary Location
- Out of use train tracks, in Holly's garden
- Setting- nigh time, dark and mysterious
- The whole of the scene is the same lighting.
Secondary Location
- In a pub (my family's pub)
- Flickering lighting, bright colours to create the happy, vibrant atmosphere.
Back to Primary Location
- Back to original scene after the flash back of the pub and we see the contact between the killer and girl in the flashback.
- Dark lighting gain, strong lighting frequently eg, car lights or torch to create the mystery again.
Costume List
FEMALE CHARACTER
The idea we had for the girl’s clothing was to make her look sophisticated and classy, to make her look like the classic damsel in distress. We chose black clothing as it is simple and gives the sophisticated look. Her hair is up in a tidy bun again to create her sleek look, representing her respectable character.
In the bar

Makeup
Her makeup in the bar is very neat and natural with bright pink lipstick and dark eyes, this changes as she is running down the tracks. When she is on the tracks her makeup has smudged to make her look more distressed, she will also have blood on her forehead after she falls over.
MALE CHARACTER
The male character will be dressed in a baggy dark jumper, with baggy dark work pants. We have dressed him to look shabby to create an opposite style than the girl.
Dressing him shabby makes him look very unappealing and helps build up his antagonist character. His black clothes are used to portray his dark, evil character.
In the bar
In the bar, the male character will be wearing a baggy dark t-shirt with his baggy work pants.
On the railway tracks
On the tracks in addition to his clothes he will be wearing a baggy dark jumper with its hood up in order to shadow his face.
