Cast and Costume

Holly – Played by Holly Watson

Holly is a schoolgirl, which will initially make her appear vulnerable, however we also wanted her to have a tomboyish manner to try and indicate that she isn’t going to be a feminine ‘princess’ character. She will wear:

-        A red jumper - to connote that she could be in danger

-        Dark jeans with a camouflage pattern – to connote her tomboyish nature

-        Black shoes

-        Shoulder bag – to denote that she is a school girl

The Intruder – Played by Hannah Cocklin

The intruder remains anonymous through the whole of the opening to create mystery. They will wear:

-        Black pants – to connote their dark, evil nature

-        Black coat/hoodie – to again connote their dark nature and also cover their head and face to make them more unknown and mysterious

Props

-        Keys – Holly’s way in and out of the house, when these go missing and she is locked in we know she is trapped and in danger

-        Knives – used to cut the cake so initially just a normal, everyday item. But Holly chooses to use it as a weapon when she is worried, to find her choice of protection has gone, and so have all the other knives

-        Cake

-        Mobile phone – used to indicate the presence of the intruder in the bedroom, when we discover it is in fact not this phone which is ringing, but somebody else’s (and Holly is supposed to be home alone)

Location

We chose Hannah’s house to film at because it was convenient and we could walk there straight after sixth form. 

We filmed in:

-        
           The kitchen – this is where the intruder initially tries to get in

-        The Living room- where the first unnatural event occurs

-        The Hallway- where we see the first sighting of the intruder in the house

-        The bedroom- For the final shot, being dragged from under the bed

-        Outside – For the establishing shot
