shooting plan;

The order in which i will film the scenes due to the locations i am at;

In daylight; 

1. The scene of the female getting kicked out of her house.

2. The female seeing the male helping the female who had fallen over.

3. The male killing another women in the woods.

4. The scene in the pub

5. A scene in a house of the male drinking and eating with the drink and food going down to show that time has gone by and also maybe a candle.  - I have changed this scene to the male looking at his knife collection but kept a candle burning in the shot.

When it is getting dark;

6. The alley way scene

7. The male chasing the female through the woods.

8. The male killing the female. 

Script;

The script for my short film is basic at the beginning and end but is more detailed in the middle where the two characters are having a conversation.

At the beginning of the short film there will simply be a women shouting 'get out' which is when the female character gets kicked out. The next bit of script we here is when the male character asks the women fallen on the floor if he could help her with her replying yes please. More dialogue begins when the characters ask about each other in the pub, the girl will ask why he isn't having an alcoholic drink, what he does for a job, the male character asks her why she has fallen out with her mum, what she does and says that 'the favourite part of my job is to watch flowers blossom, wither and die' at this moment the female leaves and he says 'where do you think you're going' the last bit of dialogue is the male saying 'now its time to watch you wither and die' when he kills the female. 

Time scale and locations;

I am going to film on the 30th of december between the times of 3pm - 4pm in the scenes which need day light and then again as it starts to get dark at 4:30 pm to which ever time is needed to get all the darker shots done.

Locations;
Blackwell avenue 
Mousehold woods
An alley way in Sprowston
A local pub

This is the weather forecast for the day i am planning to film, due to my short film being a thriller the weather will suit the genre better being dark and gloomy which is expected on this day. If there is light rain, as long as there is a clear view on the camera i will carry out the filming but if there is a heavy rainfall i will need to reschedule.

Character profiles;

The male character played by Lewis Watson is going to have a mysterious and dark appearance, he has dark hair and will be wearing dark clothes and shoes. This represents his personality through his appearance, the actor i have chosen to play the male wears glasses occasionally which i have decided he will be wearing at the time. This is because some people link glasses with well educated and sophisticated people and i think with this image the audience will have more of a shock seeing what the man is really like and this also makes him have more of a mysterious persona. This character is a serial killer and i want this to come across as well as him being a normal person because i want him to have two personalities so the audience engages with his character more.

The female character who is played by Katie Speck has a very light and fluffy appearance being fair skinned and with blonde hair and very pretty. This is the exact persona i was looking for as the character needs to look vulnerable and in need of help in which she gets from the male character and i feel this look will help that come across well. She is a completely normal person but has family problems which has made her the vulnerable person she is and results in her being kicked out of her house which leads her to the fate she is stuck in.
