Characters


Nicole played Faye. She was available, had the right sort of hair and clothing for the femme fatale look that we were going for, and did really well acting in our preliminary task. This is her in costume.











This is me (playing Robert) with the blood used in the thriller. Its a little more messy than in the film, as id been trying to get it off...
I played the character of Robert, who is wearing completely black clothing. This makes him seem like a darker character, and is harder to see when its so dark. I chose to play Robert as i was one of the only boys who was available on the nights we could make, and i do drama as an A level, so i (should) be pretty good.



The last character in our film is Rose who is played by Jennie Stone. She also does Drama as an A level, and we trusted she'd do a good job. She is also a femme fatale, wearing similar clothes to Nicole.

Shooting Schedule

Due to various complications, our filming group has been limited to specific filming dates. However we are two thirds of the way through completion of the shoot.

Monday 1st December
Shoot went well, more complicated than we'd originally hoped it would be, most of the shoot tackled yet re-runs needed.

Monday 8th December
Shoot went extremely well. Majority of storyboards shot.

Monday 15th December
Unfortunately due to illness, this shoot had to be cancelled. We are hoping to book out the cameras again this week, yet if they are fully booked we will have to negotiate an extension.

Costumes For Our Thriller


Pencil Skirt
We decided that a black pencil skirt would give a classic feel to the femme fatale image we were trying to create for the character Adalia. And being high waisted would recreate the image of the femme fatale you would originally associate with the 50's and 60's film noir thrillers.





White Shirt
We though that by teaming the black pencil skirt with a white shirt this would add to the classic femme fatale image we were trying to achieve, the white gives the illusion of innocence but with the black suggests hidden depths and a possible devious side.








High Heeled Shoes
High heeled shoes represent a confident woman and this was an image we were trying to create for Adalia.








Red Beret
The splash of red (the beret) is a reference to blood, which is why we decided to include it in the costume for our thriller film.

Working Title Productions: Basic Information

Working Title is a British Film Company. It has produced many popular films, including 'Atonement', 'Pride & Prejudice' and, a personal favourite, 'Love Actually'. Working Title is successful internationally, helped along by alteration to marketing, including deals with American and European companies and worldwide distribution.
Working Title's chairpersons are Tim Bevon and Eric Fellmer, who are listed as the most powerful figures in British Industry, and also ranked 41st in the world-wide-movie power list. Bevan had founded Working Title in 1984 with Sarah Radcliffe. However in 1992 Radcliffe left whilst Bevan was looking for a corporate backer, and Fellmer soon joined him. It has been said that, 'The films were suffering because there was no real structure, and, speaking for myself, my company was always virtually bankrupt.' This is true, as film-making as a high risk business, and is very expensive.
The 1st film that Working Title produced was My Beautiful Launderette in 1985. Working Title liked to tackle controversial topics for specific audiences, however nowadays targets a wider audience. It creates British Ideology (Four Weddings and a Funeral), and now produces bigger budget films (Briget Jone's Diary). Their films have gone from 'niche' appeal, to mainstream.
Working Title are committed to 'high quality' films, yet are also committed to low-budget films with new writers.
