A1 motorway – Day 1, Isa voiceover with Henry looking into distance
ISA
All I remember is him pushing me over and everything was a blur, he’s taken her.
 
Henry’s house – Day 2&3, close up of Shania with her being dragged back
SHANIA
Diegetic sounds, heavy breathing and screaming




"They don’t understand, they never have but they soon will. I will put an end to this and one way or another they will learn to LOVE ME."
We used this voiceover with the backing of the church to create an asynchronous effect and place further emphasis on the dialogue. This is in the first shot of the trailer and creates immediate tension for an audience and present the antagonist in a dark way.


"Is your mother home?"
"We have reason to believe your daughter has been kidnapped."

The inclusion of Henry's younger sister to play the role of Rosey's sister was key in this scene because it shows that the impacts of the kidnapping would effect all members of her family and friends. This highlights the importance of the kidnapping to the plot and immediately presents Rosey's family as protagonists who want their daughter back.
 

"All I remember is him pushing me over and everything was a blur, he's taken her."

This is key dialogue because it is from Daniella, the only witness of the crime. Her not being able to remember much about the kidnapper places further doubt into the minds of the audience about Rosey being found.


Heavy breathing and screaming

This diegetic sound of the breathing and screaming symbolises Rosey's desperation to escape from her captor. This means that the audience sympathise with Rosey and promotes hostility towards the antagonist, who refuses to let her free.

Our Production Company - Nightfall Studios

Our various discussions surrounding our production company, we decided to adopt the name 'Nightfall Studios'. We selected 'Nightfall' as it is representative of the film's thrilling and dark nature. By referring to night, this connotes darkness, and the unknown surrounding the dark. Furthermore, within our production, "Love Me", the protagonist operates largely within the dark, kidnapping his victims. When discussing our logo, we collectively knew that we wanted it to feature a dark setting, situated at night. The street lamp slowly lights the setting, but not fully, leaving uncertainties lurking within the crevices of darkness. The logo eventually fades to black, creating an ideal beginning for our film. Overall, our logo is applicable to our thriller genre, as the logo connotes darkness alongside a gloomy undertone depicted by the street light partially illuminating the street.
