Mise-en-scene

The mise-en-scene in our opening is very specific to our thriller genre.

Location
The choice of car park is to sure it is set in a urban environment, the city which adds to the whole thrill as it is almost like a secret world, which is a scary thought for the audience to imagine things like this do take place.
It is also a public place however it is very secluded, but it adds tension to the story line as a member of the public could intervene at any point.

Lighting
We have chosen to film outside and set it in dim afternoon light, to give at a mysterious, more eerie atmosphere to our scene.

Props
We are not going to use many props, only rope, masking tape, and balaclavas. We didn't want to bring too many props into it as it would make it harder to film. We just decided to use our surroundings and work with what we had.

Costume
The victims are going to wear casual everyday clothes, that a young adult would wear to show their age. And the Kidnappers are going to be dressing in tracksuit trousers, and dark clothing also balaclavas to make them look scary and also to add to the thriller convention of hiding the antagonists identity to add mystery to 'who did it'.


Sound
We are going to add a soundtrack over our captured footage. Are track is going to be dramatic and action, but match the action happening in the film and create suspense and tension for the audience. We may also have some diegetic sound to make to setting seems more realistic.
We are not going to have a lot of long dialogue as we feel it would be more effective without, however we are going to have some screaming, to show the victims terror and struggle.
