Evaluation Question 1

Effect	Scene	Evidence
Use of narrative		In our film the establishing shot connotes with a typical thriller film as it shows he is alone in an isolated room which shows he is alone. This is to show to the audience he is a very vulnerable character throughout the film.
Mise-en-scene		In our film we decided to use a forest as forests are seen as dark and lonely so the character will be seen as more vulnerable. We didn’t have many props used in the film as not many were needed to set the atmosphere. We used an iPad and a  bottle of milk and these were only used to fit the storyline of the film.
Editing techniques		In our opening establishing shot we used a slow pan down on to the character, this made i t clear that he was a key part to the film and that he was very vulnerable.  In our film we uses a three piece montage with quick cuts between them to build tension and get the urge of a rush and a panic. The music we used was a stringed piece which adds a lot of tension to the film.
Use of camera		We used a lot of close-ups, long shots and pans in our film to cause a lot of tension. This is typical of a conventionsl teen thriller film. We used some over the shoulder shots and point of view shots in our film to show that slender is always watching. Also the long shots used were so we were able to show the teenage boy as a small weak character compared to slender.
Characters		In our film we only have 2 characters. One teenage boy named William and the mysterious character that is slender. We usesd a teenage boy as we were targeting a teen audience so they can relate to most of the things the character is doing, also we chose to use a teen boy rather than a girl this is because we wanted to put our on spin on a traditional teen thriller film. The teenage boy is followed through slender throughout the film and something tragic happens at the end which is not shows so is left on a cliff hanger.
Special effects		In our film we only used a couple of special effects, these were the static when William walks past slender and the title which has cracks coming off it which connotes the trees of the forest in the film.
