Age:10
Elena has had no professional experience in acting as she is only ten years old and is currentley not interested in taking acting as a carreer. She is suitable to play the role of the innocent ten year old in my thriller as we needed somone who is ten or looked ten and experience is not needed as there is no dialogue or specific acting. Her simple role is to act normal as she plays on the park and walks along the street in which we need to film her. For the costume I am going to ask her to wear her school uniform In which she is wearing in the picture above. Her school uniform consists of a blue shirt, navy blue skirt, navy blue tights and black shoes. The costume has been chosen because it will exadgerate her young age and her innosence/vulnerability. As Elena is only 10 years old I have had to require her parent's consent to allow her to be involved. I have received consent as shown below.

Nicholas has also had no proffesional acting experience. Again as said before this is not a problem as there is no dialogue and the acting does not require amazing acting skills. He is appropriate for the role of the antagonist/murderer because he is the right age that we are looking for, which is middle aged, maybe slightly older and he has a good solid build which exadgerates the innosence of the child that is being preyed upon in my thriller. As for the costume he will wear a black shirt and some denim jeans with trainers. All his clothing will look scruffy (Top button undone on his shirt, one side of the collar flicked up and one folded down ). This is to give him a rough/dangerous look.
Locations:
The first place I have chosen to shoot my thriller in is my garage. Inside my garage there is a work bench where I can have the actor standing with his props on the work bench whilst he plays the antagonist. I have chosen this location because it has a dirty, rough look which makes it seem very sinister and perfect for my thriller. It also has a light that is positioned just above the work bench and so this means that we will not need any additional lighting and thus means that we won,t have to waste time setting up the additional lighting. As you can see there is a lot of stuff on and around the bench but they will be removed ready for filming.
The second location will the park where the child will be shot playing. The park was chosen because it has plenty of bushes that we can shoot from and thus we can recreate the look of the serial killer stalking the child. It will also have other children playing there naturally and so we will have our extras without having to actually employ them. It will also make the diegetic sounds of the other children playing which will give to the effect of the vulnerability.
The third location we will be filming in will be the street in which I live on (Seaburn Road, Toton, Nottingham). I have chosen this location because I wanted a long shot of her walking down a street on her own to exaggerate her vulnerability.
Props:
There is only one prop in my thriller and that is the book of photos of past and present victims of the serial killer. I have chosen to use this prop as like in the thriller Se7en it gives hints into the plot without revealing anything major and thus still keeping the enigma which is one of the things which my target audience like about the film Se7en. At the moment the images are not in there but we will put the images in the book after filming Elena at the second and third location using the stills.
