„Unattached‟

PlotThe plot of the first two minutes is relatively simple but has a dramatic and

unpredictable feeling, which is strong within the psychological horror genre.

Firstly it starts off with a teenage girl of the age of about 17 walking down a

secluded area while talking on her mobile phone to her boyfriend. As she is

walking down this area talking on her mobile phone she hears a noise and stops

what she is doing, while in mid-sentence. She is clearly quite nervy about this

noise but continues and reassures her boyfriend that she is fine and thought she

just heard something. As she carries on she hears another noise which is louder

this time, it is apparent from the look on her face that she has an idea of what is

happening which adds to her apprehension. She ends the call with her boyfriend in

an abrupt manner and roughly shoves her phone into her pocket while she begins

to run further down the abandoned area, as if she is running from something she is

expecting. The screen goes black and then we see her lying on the floor with her

eyes half open as she gives a slight nostalgic and unconvincing smirk/smile. The

screen once again goes black and we hear a phone ringing and as someone picks

the screen shows a zoom out image of a childhood picture but all we can hear is

someone on the phone sobbing “I‟m so sorry”.

Location The location that I am using is that on Brington Road, Long Bucky. I believe this is

the best location for what I want to film as it has the right „feel‟ as it is secluded and

perfect for a horror!

Mise en sceneThe area that I am using is situated in the countryside surrounded by trees and

open farm land. It is a very quite area that is used for people cycling and walking

with only a narrow county road going through it. Also above where my location is,

is a train bridge which I believe adds a new dimension but also contributes to the

uncertainty of the whole genre. The ground is uneven and looks as if it is not used

very often. One of the reasons I chose this area also is because when doing my 4

deconstructions it was evident that the areas usually used don‟t have anybody

about and are secluded and in a sense cut off from human contact.

The only props that I am using are a mobile phone, a telephone and a picture

frame with a childhood photo. Using minimal props helps to check organisation

but also does not take dominance over the rest of the factors. This links into my

4 deconstructions that I made as there were no noticeable props that connoted

anything that the future of the movie may contain.

The only music I am going to have in my two minute opening is for when the

girl is running away and the camera is casing after her. The track I am using

is called „Running away‟ and I found it on FreePlayMusic.com

Mise en scene

The actress that I am using is

going to be wearing really casual

clothes for the role, which we both

chose together that we believe fits

the best.

She will be wearing skinny jeans

with trainers, a black top, a

chequered shirt and a denim

jacket. This is the typical outfit of a

17 year old girl and that is what I

wanted to be portrayed, that she

is just the typical girl.
