Planning Introduction My film is overall about a girl that gets kidnapped and the film is about what happens to her whilst she is kidnapped. But for my AS coursework we only have to do the opening to my film, so in my opening I’m just going to include the actually kidnapping, this will make the audience engaged as it has an eventful opening. Target audience I have decided that my target audience is going to be 16-18 as I am in that age group so I believe it will be easier for me to base a start of a film on what they like. Rough ideas It’s going to be set in two different times as the police station is going to be in the present and the kidnapping in the past, the girl (who was kidnapped) is going to be getting interviewed to the police officer asking about what happened, then whilst she is talking we are going to change into the past. To not confuse the audience I’m going to put a date in the bottom right hand corner when the dates change. Also when we change to the wood scene when kidnapping happens I never want the audience to see the kidnappers face.

Planning

Introduction My film is overall about a girl that gets kidnapped and the film is about what happens to her whilst she is kidnapped. But for my AS coursework we only have to do the opening to my film, so in my opening I’m just going to include the actually kidnapping, this will make the audience engaged as it has an eventful opening.

Target audienceI have decided that my target audience is going to be 16-18 as I am in that age group so I believe it will be easier for me to base a start of a film on what they like.

Rough ideasIt’s going to be set in two different times as the police station is going to be in the present and the kidnapping in the past, the girl (who was kidnapped) is going to be getting interviewed to the police officer asking about what happened, then whilst she is talking we are going to change into the past. To not confuse the audience I’m going to put a date in the bottom right hand corner when the dates change. Also when we change to the wood scene when kidnapping happens I never want the audience to see the kidnappers face.

Police station

Ruth- I was walking home, i had my music loud, that’s probably why I didn’t hear him. I decided to take the short cut home through woods cos I was already late, it was about 5 to ten when I looked a my watch and then I heard noise almost like a scratch But coming from behind me. I didn’t think anything of it, thought it was just some kid messing about, only if I had known then. P.O- don’t blame yourself RuthRuth- after that I turned my music louder, to block all the noises out, then the next thing I know there’s a hand on my shoulder and I just screamed and tried to run to run away but he wouldn’t let me,(speaking almost crying) he wouldn’t let me go P.O- its okay RuthRuth- then I was just on the floor, trying to get him off of me, I couldn’t even scream for help cos he put some sort of cloth in my mouth. P.O-did you see what he looked like

Ruth- then when I looked up at him, he was all in black, I tried reaching to take his balaclava and he grabbed my hand, he grabbed it so tight my arm went red. After that I must off made him really angry, he reached to his pocket and got some sort of drug out, and kept on trying to force it down my throat I tried to stop him, but me made(emphasise) he made me sallow it. (Back to police station) then everything else its just a blur, why cant I remember, if I just remembered his voice, looks, name, WHY CANT I REMEMBER!P.O- come on Ruth, I think that’s enough for today, I will see you tomorrow the same time yeahRuth- why tomorrow I’m not going to remember, the day after that I wont a week, year there’s no point even trying to catch him cos he’s out there, and I know he will come find me again and finish off what he wanted tooP.O- don’t talk like that, your safeRuth- No I’m not I never will be (pause) EVER!
