Final Piece 'The Missing'

This is my final finished piece, ‘The Missing’ film opening. I have directed, filmed, edited and produced a film opening under the genre of thriller.

Filming Photographic Evidence

Location One:

This is the main location featured in the opening; this is where a lot of the footage takes place as I felt this type of area was suitable for the genre. There were many different elements and opportunities the forest offered, for example using different levels of height and the crunching sound of twigs and leaves.

Location Two:

This location was a friends shed, which meant there was little room to film everything however this was the type of location I was looking for as it comes across as mysterious when on camera. This location is featured very minimal in the opening as this is where the protagonists flash backs are filmed.

Script for Thriller Film Opening

• Rose, if you can hear this, if you’re out there listening, please let me know you’re safe.
• We miss you rose
• It’s been over 3 days
• I just want my daughter back
• Dylan just wants his big sister back
• I feel sure Rose is alive I am so connected with her
• If you know anything on Rose’s disappearance please think of this torn apart family
• Rose, come home
• I will never give up Rose, she knows that
• As a family we just want to be whole again
• Rose can you hear this?
• We miss you, we all miss you
• This is the first time you’ve ever done anything like this, we don’t know why, but we love you so much rose.
• Please Rose, come home.
  

 

For the course of the script there will be brief pauses in between each phrase of speech, this will both lengthen the amount of speech within as well as leave an eerie feel for those listening.

My idea for the script came from real life events in today’s society, the speaker will be Roses Mum, as she pleas out to her missing child for her to come home. The voice will be a grown woman’s and will break in each sentence to show her true pain and loss, this will give off the realism of the film as we hear the devastation in her voice.

I chose to use short sentences overall as I feel this will be more effective and create a lot of tension, I intend to make it sound like it’s being aired on a radio because in cases like this we do see this type of convention.

The speech will play as a voice over throughout the opening; this keeps identities of the main protagonist’s hidden, which again evokes a suspenseful response from the viewers.

 

Missing Poster Prop

As my film opening is based around an abduction and the title of the actual opening is called The Missing, I had the chance to make a missing poster that will be featured within the clip. I researched a range of different posters and then worked on my own to make it both original and realistic to ones I had seen previously. I noticed these were the key elements of a missing poster and therefore I incorporated them into my own, the colours red, white and black were used frequently as a way to make it stand out and furthermore, each colour links to the thriller genre with their significant connotations.
