Micro and Macro elements within our film

Macro:

Characters - two main characters: abductor and abductee.

Narrative - Man walking around busy location. Crowds thin out. Turns corner and is hit in face with a bat. Blacks out. Wakes tied to chair in dark location. Speaks briefly with abductor. Abductor unmasks himself - man says 'It's you!'.

Atmosphere - at first, outside in the open, everything seems normal. Man then attacked and blacks out. When he awakes the atmosphere has changed - who attacked him? Where is he? Dark lighting and exclusive use of close-ups /extreme close ups will add to the confusion.

Micro:

Camerawork - The scene will begin with an establishing shot of our chosen location. Within the sequence there will be a lot of close ups and extreme close ups which will add to the sense of confusion and panic we hope to create. We may use a point of view shot when the abductee is hit with a bat or weapon of some sort.

Mise-en-scene - Bruises/cuts on victim?

Editing - We will use linear editing to give our sequence a sense of continuity.

Sound - We will use non diagetic sound in the introduction to the sequence, and also diagetic sound that the character will be hearing.

Special Effects - Fake blood (Chocolate sauce if black and white)
