Location, Casting, Props and Costumes

Locations
We used five locations throughout our title sequence; an ordinary town house, a park, an alley way, a college building and a news TV studio. We chose to use an ordinary town house because the audience wouldn't expect a kidnapping to happen there and that is also why we used all of the other locations. We used a TV studio to film the new report in so it looks professional and realistic.


Casting
The characters in our title sequence consist of two kidnappers, a boy who gets kidnapped (in the house), three teenage girls and a news reader. The first kidnapper that is shown is a tall middle aged man so is realistic that he would be kidnapping someone. The boy that I used is 13, quite short and skinny so when the man kidnaps him it looks realistic and even when he tries to struggle out he can't do it because he's so much smaller than the kidnapper. The second kidnapper doesn't look like a usual kidnapper that people think of because he's a teenage boy. We used him because it challenges genre conventions and ideal ideas of the audience. We used the three teenage girls because they look vunerable and easy to kidnap and as the second kidnapper is quite small it made it easy to make look realistic.


Props
The props we used throughout our title sequence are:

  • A van
  • An alcohol bottle
  • A mobile phone
Costumes
First kidnapper: jeans, t-shirt, barraclava.
Boy: usual clothes that boys wear, trainers.
Second kidnapper: Jeans, hoody, trainers.
Girls: usual teenage/college girl clothes, casual.
