During our media lesson, we sat down and decided that we needed to elaborate in detail on the way we want to portray our characters and that we had to add to our plot and scene, so we had a discussion on the names of our characters, and some of their characteristics. Through much arguement and debate we came to an agreement with the characters name:
Girlfriend=Mia
Boyfriend=Brett
Mia's best friend= Elena
Villian (Ex boyfriend)= Dean
Additionally throughout this discussion we re-ran through the conventions of the thriller genre, which helped us decided on our scenery, considering the fact that during a kidnapping, it is somewhat a tradition that they are taken away to some were isolated. Holly suggested a place called 'Cold Christmas' and from the discription that Holly provided us with based on the area we decided that it was ideal for some shots of our trailer to be taken there, due to it being an old, wreched, abandoned chruch that people go to scare themseleves.
The 5 stage pattern structure of our plot will be:
1) A state of Equilibrium at the outset – Brett proposes to his girlfriend Mia at a party. Everyone is having a good time which sets a very blissful atmosphere.
2) A disruption of the Equilibrium by some action – The happy engaged couple pull into a gas station, when she goes to pay Brett gets kidnapped unexpectedly.
3)A recognition that there has been a disruption – Mia turns around seeing him be dragged into a car after Brett screams her same continuously.
4) An attempt to repair the disruption – Mia goes in search of her boyfriend and has to go through clues and obstacles in order to find him.
5) Reinstatement of the Equilibrium – When Brett is saved.
