Plot.

For my plot I have decided to go with my idea of 'Don't look back' this is because I think when I film it I will be able to effortlessly create tension.

It will start of with the victim who I have named Jess Jones walking into the woods, however I do not intend to just have her walking in normally, I intend to edit it so that she skips a few footsteps when she walks to make her enter the woods faster. I will then film Jess getting nervous in the woods and having her constantly looking around the woods with a sense of paranoia. This will begin to create tension for the audience. I then intend to have film handheld and using a neck tripod. This will put Jess' experience into the audience’s perspective. Jess will continue the paranoia and carry on looking around (still handheld) she will then hear a noise become scared get the feeling of discomfort, when this happens I intend to add in a non-diagetic of heavy and nervous breathing. Finally, Jess will stop running and a blank screen will appear with a non diagetic high pitched scream.

I think this is a good idea because it's not too detailed.

Casting.

As I have changed my idea, I now need to re-cast for my production.

The victim is going to be a girl in the age range of around 16-18 so for this I have decided to used a friend to act this. I have decided to do this because a friend is going to be more reliable than just a random person and they will be able to provide me with their time so I can carry out my filming. Also by me using a friend I will not feel guilty badgering them to help me film.
