Planning

What will be the key features in terms of mise-en-scene?
• Darkness
• Candles to symbolise a fear of fire
• Orange tinge to the scene
• Dim warm colours
• Busy/people

What style of editing will you have?
• Fast, choppy

How will you use sound and music? What sort of music might you create?
• Crackling (like fire)
• Fast
• Gets louder when he looks at fire and walls

How might you use camera angles, movement and shot position in the opening?
• During titles, flick from titles to restaurant scene, different camera angle each time.

What are your key influences in terms of film/film-makers?
• The Butterfly effect – Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber

How will you incorporate titles? Will they be intrusive or unobtrusive? Look again at Saul Bass' title sequences.
• Emerging from fire to continue the theme throughout the film

How might you challenge or subvert conventional generic ideas surrounding the 'thriller'? Think about 'Memento'
• We want to create panic and tension and hide the answers to questions such as why is he scared of fire and why has his girlfriend been kidnapped in order to reveal these later on in the film

How might you overcome practical issues - casting for example?
• Find someone who can drive to be the getaway driver. Using school toilets to make it look more like a restaurant rather than a house, along with narration to set the scene and location.
