Comments on our film
Adding colour, make it look more cinematic
Less voice overs, or more spaced apart
Make music slightly quicker, picking up the pace near the end
Treeset Pictures title should stay on after he walks across

New changes on the thriller.
We added the sounds of dogs barking as the main character walks in the garden
We also added the sound of a dial tone to the first phone message. We decided to only put this on one because the sound would start to get annoying if we had it on every phone message.
We also changed some of the titles, adding more red to them to continue the theme.

Then we put on the titles in appropriate places and made them the right size
We then added our voice over.

Louisa's phone script
Hey It’s Kara, Louisa, remember we’re coming out tonight!
I’m getting the Chinese now, what do you want? Can’t wait!
I couldn’t wait, I just chose sweet and sour for you
Louisa, the Chinese is getting cold, hurry up!
It’s me again, hurry up, you’re late
Hey, gimme a call when you get this, you’re almost an hour late
Louisa, please ring me, I’m getting worried
Louisa, has Kane done something again? Please ring me
Louisa, answer your phone, this is getting ridiculous.
Louisa, I’m really worried… I’m coming over.

Script
INT. Evening
Man walks into his house, takes shoes off after coming in from back garden, places a bloody and dirty spanner on the dining room table. Walks up stairs to the bathroom. You can hear in the background messages that were left on his wife's phone, asking why she isn't picking up. Looks at picture on window sill, of him and his wife, strokes her face and leaves a strip of blood and dirt from his hands. He then goes into the bathroom and washes his hands. He walks downstairs and picks her phone up from the downstairs window sill, and turns it off. Messages stop, everything goes silent.

Costumes
Kane: Mechanic overalls and/or casual clothing like jeans with a t-shirt and trainers as this would be his everyday clothing. Clothing will be dark colours to fit in with the theme.
Kara: Skirt and plain top with pumps to make it look casual in everyday clothing. The skirt highlights her gender and vulnerability.
Louisa: As we will only see her hands and feet, her costume will be black heels to represent power and her on her hands she will have red nail varnish and jewellery to show her higher status.

Lighting/Colour/Mood
Lighting - It would need to be quite dark as we want it to feel quite creepy and mysterious.
Colour - Dark colours, blacks and greys
Mood - Tense. The lighting and colours being dark would help this. We could also have quiet slow music in the back ground and high light any diegetic sounds by not letting background music over-power them.
This is the kind of lighting we were thinking about:
