Importance of stalkers outfit

We dressed out stalker completely in black. The main reason for this was that it added an element of mystery to him. In addition, by making our stalker wear all black it illustrates that he is a dark and ominous character. The use of the colour black is very plain and sisnsiter and also gives no clues to anything about the stalker. The stalkers outfit contrasts with Jadine who is much more colourful suggesting she is a friendly and inviting character.

Found (Original Version).

Below is the original version of our film. We decidied to make changed to our film as we felt the sound didn't meet the conventions of a thriller genre nor did it add enough tension. In addition to this we felt we could make our titles much more professional. 

Change in music

We were told that our music did not create a high sense of tension. As a result we looked into changing the music for our film. In addition to this we added background noise such as moving cars and police sirens to our film to as a feeling of tension.

Our Sound

This is the track we decided to use in our opening title sequence. We chose this as it has a 'spooky' feel to it and also sets a good pace to walk to. Furthermore, the orchestral film mirrors the theme of many iconic thriller soundtracks.

Locations

Our main locations are on streets. However, there is one location that we need. This is a cafe. We looked at local cafes in the area, we found the best ones for our film were those that connoted a 'gritty' feel as these matched our genre and story line perfect.
