Research and Planning- Props

• We will be using various props throughout the making of our teaser trailer. Flowers and gifts will be used to show the stalkers obessessive love towards Emmas character. Phones will be used to show the calls and texts also relating to the obessessive behaviour. Mirrors, shower curtains and ropes will be amongst the props used in our trailer. Below is some examples

Teaser Trailer

We still have not decided on the exact plot of the teaser trailer as everytime we brainstorm new ideas come up which leads to other ideas and so on. We know that our teaser trailer we include a type of obsessive love that leads to stalking however we are not exactly sure of the specific locations that the trailer will be set in. We have thought about going into london and shooting on the tubes and near the london eye however, we have also debated whether to set it mainly at emmas house as she lives near woods, train stations, alleys and cobham town. We will try and come up with a deffinate plot and location asap.

Characters- Research and Planning

Emma is our hopeless victim, she was chosen for the role as she has a feminine voice and can play the role of the victim very well. She plays the stereotypical girl who becomes the target of a obsessed male, we have made sure her costume and actions represent the sterotypical role Emma will be playing. For example, Emma will become alarmed at first but then dismiss his actions, however, she will start to worry more as the trailer goes on. This is a comventional feature in a horror trailer. Simalrities to Brittany Snow who plays a young, vunerable victim lusted over by a stalker are her age and physical appearance.

Matt will be the stalker in the teaser trailer. Matt was chosen for the role as he is a A level drama student so can therefore perform a realistic and dramatic performance. He was also chosen as he fits the role of what we were looking for; the same age as Emma and looks rather unassuming. We will make sure his costume and actions represent that of normal guy who starts off as someone Emma would like but then quickly realises he is not the guy for her. We will make sure the soundtrack also plays behind many of matts scenes so that the audience pick up on the darkness of matts character.
