Actor Evaluations For Our Thriller

The female in our thriller is a stereotypical femme fatale. She is the main character, she wears a glamorous dress with high heels and you even see her putting on the red lipstick. She has perfect hair and perfect make up to go with it. She goes into the toilets to change her look, this is so anyone who could have noticed her before doesn't recognise her now and she is in less jeopardy of being caught by her victims of whom she took their credit cards.
She gets in trouble at the end of our clip, as she gets caught out by a man whose wallet she'd previously stolen and then it ends, so you don't know what has happened to her, why she steals wallets, if its for her own benefit or not or if she's doing it for someone else. This could spark a lot of thought to the audience. Has she had a hard upbringing and needs to get ahead of life? Perhaps she used to be abused or bullied as she was growing up and wants to show them all she is better than them. Does she just like fancy, expensive clothing and accsessories and needs a way to pay for it all? Is she fed up of being perfect in all aspects and is looking for a bit of excitement, a bit of danger? All these questions could be running through the minds of the audience, which is good, great infact and would urge them to watch the rest of the film.

We used this actor has he looka like the type of person to be easy to robbed. He doesn't look strong, tough or harmful. Viewers thoughts would turn to 'vulnerable' the male actor. Did he really not notice her take the wallet? Was it part of a big plan to capture her? Is he really that trusting of people to just leave his wallet stuck in his back pocket like that? Supposing he is, is there a reason to be so trusting? Will he be in the rest of the film? Will he notice it's gone and have any suspects? Is he part of any gang or organisation? The audience will want to know so many of these answers that they will want to watch the rest of the film.

Our actor for this role has broader shoulders and is bigger all around to show toughness and doesn't seem like victim material. The audience will think about the second male now and think up different circumstances for him too. How did he know it was her? Did she steal his wallet at the train station too? Is he part of a gang or organisation constructed to bring down people like her? Was it just chance that she took his wallet and not the man standing the other side of the building than him? Was he deliberatly standing in her path? Was there something in his wallet, some kind of tracker that made him able to pick up her location? Did he know who she was anyway? Was he family? Was he her abuser? Was he her pimp even? All these many, many questions would need to be answered. The audience would have to watch the rest of the movie to find this out, making the introduction a great acheivement as it does what it's intended to do.

Prop Evaluations For Our Thriller

For our thriller, we didn't use too many props as the main objects to look at were either part of the costume or part of the building.

We did use a compact mirror for the femme fatale to look in as she was applying her lipstick and to show the audience the man was behind her at this point.

We used a dark red lipstick for her lip colour, which could indicate blood or danger, which she could then be in for. It draws on her face as the man grabs her, then it drops so it also used to make a great impact on the ending.

The line of lipstick on her face could signify him breaking into her perfections. Her perfect make up, her perfect clothing, her perfect channels of thought on how she's getting one over on everyone. He ruins all that for her and this starts off the whole movie on a different level of how it originally started.

Location Evaluation For Our Thriller

We filmed at Norwich Train Station. The location really fitted in with our thriller it was around the late dusk time of the day, so the light and shadows helped give a great effect. The toilets in the train station were also good as they had large mirrors to do an over the shoulder shot of the femme fatale getting changed into her second costume, letting her hair down and sorting out the credit cards, money and wallet. The fillming didn't leave the train station at any point, so it was our only location.

Costume Evaluation For Our Thriller.

Costumes:

The girl in our thriller, will be wearing stereotypical femme fatale attire. At first she will be wearing a long coat with her hair up, with the dress underneath and high heels to add the effects of ladylike features, again stereotypical femme fatale. We are having it so she wears a big, sparkly significant ring. We've made it seem as if she's forgotten to take it off, and this is how the male is able recognise her, as she doesn't think to take it off while she gets changed. This could be a reason why she could be working for herself and not anyone else. She couldn't have gone under the great amounts of training needed to be under the care of other gangs as she isn't greatly experienced in the aspect of being undercover.

The first male the viewers will meet in our thriller, the 'vulnerable' male from whome she steals the wallet, will be wearing casual clothing. Just a jacket, t-shirt, jeans and trainers will suffice for him.

The second male the viewers will meet, isn't so vulnerable as he has previously had his wallet taken by the femme fatale and has recognised her, again another reason why she seems inexperienced. This male will also just need to be in casual clothes. A different jacket, t-shirt jeans and trainers combo will be fitting for this actor.
