SCRIPT:
Interviewer – ‘hey Alice’
Alice – ‘hi’ -> overlap
Interviewer – ‘I came here to ask you some questions very quickly?’
Alice – let's do it
Interviewer – so what kind of costumes did you use for your cast and why?
Alice – Adam wore a white t-shirt with blood and rips in it with black jeans and black shoes and Ali wore a black hoodie black trousers and black shoes. We wanted Adam to look like he had been beaten up and been trapped in the shipping container for a few weeks which is why we tore his shirt a bit and put fake blood all over it. The white t-shirt created contrast and portrayed him as innocent. and Ali was dressed in all black conveying him being evil, dark and sinister linking to the thriller and putting him in a hoodie to portray he is the villain building tension.
Interviewer – what lighting did you decide to use in your opening sequence?
Alice – we used green lighting created by titan tubes which were inspired by the film Nerve. It is also not used as much which makes ours different to others and the green lighting portrays a sense of envy that links to our narrative. The lighting also created dark shadows on screen creating a sinister tone linking to the thriller-action genre.
Interviewer – And may I ask what props did you decide to go with?
Alice – we used a table, a chair, fake barbed wire, photos of mugshots, bottles, a mirror, a cd player, torture tools, fake money, duffle bag. The table was for all the bottles and some weapons to be placed on. Adam was tied to the chair with the barbed wire, the mugshot photos were used to create a crime scene board and the fake money was placed in the duffle bag which Adam finds and steal at the end. In a thriller, they use props which are often violent to support the narrative as death is often a theme within thriller-action films hence the use of these props
Interviewer – why did you choose a location of a shipping container?
Alice – the shipping container location was mainly inspired by the film Nerve. It is not commonly used and isn’t a stereotypical location of trapping a victim such as a basement or an attic creating an atmosphere of suspense.
Interviewer – I saw Adam, your victim character, covered in cuts and bruises. How did you do that?
Alice – I did all the makeup on Adam. I used special fx makeup to look like he had been beaten up. I used scar wax, fake blood, a sponge, brushes, purple lip balm, makeup paints, Vaseline, and a palette knife to complete this look.
Interviewer – So for Adam and Ali who are two teachers, how did you help them to achieve the desired performance for your opening sequence?
Alice –Well we gave Adam some context which allowed him to use his facial expressions to show he had kind of given up in a sense and was struggling a lot.
Interviewer – Where did you position your actors?
Alice – Adam was placed in the centre of the shipping container on one chair which he was tied to portraying a sense of vulnerability and creating suspense. Ali was standing most of the time showing status and how he had more power.
Interviewer – How did the props you used affect your target audience?
Alice – we wanted the audience to empathise with the victim and feel scared therefore the use of dirty and aggressive props allowed us to manipulate the audience into feeling this.
Interviewer – who is your intended audience
Alice – fifteen +, this is because of the violence involved
Interviewer – Ok, we are wrapping up soon, what did you do to prepare for filming with your mise-en-scene?
Alice – Well our production group first had to clear out the shipping container as it was being previously used as a storage unit whilst I did the special fx makeup on Adam. We then set up all the props and anything we were using for set design.
Interviewer – Amazing, so overall are you happy with your choices for your mise-en-scene in your opening sequence?
Alice – very
Interviewer – Cool, well thanks so much for your time for this interview
Alice – No worries… bye
