The Masked By Nell, Lauren, Lucy and Chris

What is the film? • The Masked is a thriller/horror about a girl who is left alone for the weekend and becomes paranoid in her own house. • It is set in the 21 st Century in a modern house • Aimed at a teen audience. • Contains only two characters throughout the whole thing. • It’s aim is to be as realistic as possible.

Characters This is our main character Violet, played by Jessica Burnett. She is 16, very bubbly, a bit ditsy and very paranoid. After being left home alone for the weekend she becomes more and more afraid of what’s lurking in the dark. The masked man is played by James Hubbard. His identity is unknown however he tall and skinny. During the two minute sequence not much is revealed about him other than he wants something from Violet but we do not what yet- whether it be her life or her possessions.

Locations, Props, Costumes and Equipment • The set is located a large, modern day house. • Violet will be wearing 21 st century fashion relaxed clothing, most likely jeans and a t- shirt. Where as the masked man will be wearing black clothing and a mask. • The props in the sequence will include a phone, a kettle, a candle and a knife. • The equipment that will be used in the making of the sequence will be camera, a tripod and final cut pro. • We decided as a group as the idea is so simple that a budget will not be needed as we can use our own resources such as Lucy’s house for the location and use utensils already found in her house.

Camera Angles • We’d like to make a quick note that this will be filmed in first person and third person. Firstly from the point of view of the masked man where we will be using point of view shots. However, we will also be using third person to show the masked man following Violet.
