Mis-En-Scene details.

Here is some of the mis-en-scene details that are needed for the thriller opening.

Costume

The main person will be wearing normal casual clothes. The killer will be wearing all black to be able t blend into the darkness of the room.

Sound

The main sound coming from the film, would be the music box. This would give an eerie sound and feel to the opening. At the end of the film, we are not sure whether the music should stop directly during the action, i.e when the object falls to the ground, or to stop when the camera cuts to blackness to roll the titles.

Setting

We are hoping to set the film in a childs room. It is set in 21st century, and the room has to be very dark, but not dark enough to be able to use the night vision mode, as it will ruin the effect.
Therefore it will be shot hopefully in mid-afternoon/ early evening. The room might be messy or may tidy but we have not thought about the small details to the actual layout. We will shoot the whole opening in one room as it is alot easier for us and alot quicker (we hope) :)

Props

The only props we need are the basic childrens toys, the music box, and photos, drawings and other children stuff. To show the viewer at the beginnig shot that we are in a childrens room.
