Our basic idea for the cinematography film is a male news reporter who is lured to Grindleford from the city with the promise of an exclusive lead on a serial killer. It so happens that the news reporter is lured by the serial killer themselves.
We thought that it would be a good idea to have our key lighting change during the phone call that the protagonist gets from the serial killer that prompts them to go to Grindleford. We would have the lighting change by having them step out of the darkness of the city street and into the light, perhaps under a street light or if outside lighting rigs can not be set up this would turn into an indoor scene.
Alongside our key light change our sequence shot will be a tracking shot through the forest of Grindleford, following our protagonist without them noticing. This shot will be important as it will add to the atmosphere and mood of our film, and also create tension for the audience.
The colour change will also be an important aspect of our film as it will also help to create a certain mood for the film. At the moment we are considering a change of green to blue
We are envisioning our audience to be around 16 - 51 years of age, as this is the sort of genre and storyline that would appeal to a variety of people of all genders. I also think that having our protagonist as a male in this vulnerable situation is also pulling away from convention. As stereotypically it is usually a female embodying the 'damsel in distress' trope.
