Final Piece

This is the YouTube version of our final piece; unfortunately it shows up blurred in this format.

We've tried to create a decent variation of shots, while keeping the plotline easy to follow and still fitting into the thriller genre, the mise en scene is meant to be very basic, especially in the house, to accent the way that the main things happening in the film, go on in the minds of the main characters. Also, lighting is kept dim, there is front lighting at the beginning to represent the freedom Maggie sees in the outside world, and the cryptic oppression she feels when in the house.

I think the music works well with it because it's very simple, it has few layers of sound and no lyrics to distract the thought of the viewer, this allows them to be more attentive to the details they see and not hear; however looking back I may have changed the costumes of Maggie- her clothes were meant to represent her colourful character but seeing them from another person's perspective made me wonder if the clothes I chose really made that message clear enough.

The final script is as follows;

There are some things you should know about Maggie.

We've been together two years next week.

Her mind works differntly to other people's.

And another thing is, she has a lot of secrets.

Maggie's been leaving the house every other day for a while now, to take pictures.

Of the same place- she won't tell me why.

But today, she's going to tell me.
