Our film idea

Overall Plot
We decided to make our film project into a crime thriller sub genre. Our idea took a while to decide on and much discussion took place over what to make it about.
Our idea for our film was that our main protagonist has a dream about a young girl who he has never met before who gets stolen by a mysterious man who he has also never seen before. He follows them throughout the dream able to see everything but not able to help. He sees them holding hands and turning a corner where they go out of view. He follows behind them only to hear a scream and when he sees the young girl she has been killed. At this point the guy wakes up panting in bed and the film fades out.

Characters
Our main protagonist in the film is called Steve.
The mysterious man and young girls names and identity are not revealed at all in the entire film.

Title
We decided to name our film 'Playground' as it goes against the view that most thriller films are named after a disorder that the protagonist has such as Insomnia etc. The name 'Playground' also went along and linked in with the young girls innocence and the setting we used.

Location
We will film all our footage in and around a park area in a quiet area of cambridge. There is also one shot which will be filmed in Mitchell's bedroom.

Light/Colour/mood
Filming will take place in a open area in the daytime as this will mean we have the use of natural lighting. we also need it to be slightly dark and raining when we are filming to help create a certain eerie mood for our project. Our actual project will be completely in Black and White apart from the scenes in Mitchell's bedroom. We decided this created the look of a dream rather than having it all in colour. It also helps distinguish between real life and the dream.

Costumes
protagonist - will be wearing normal casual clothing.
antagonist - will be wearing dark clothing and we won't see his face.
Girl - young children's clothes to create a sense of youth and innocence also never see her face.

Music/Sound
We will use an original piece of music that will run through the whole of our project sequence.
