Narrative
Equilibrium- In the opening part of our sequence Rosie is shown
asleep in her room, this scene is relaxed and quiet as Rosie is asleep.
No disruption has occurred yet.
Disequilibrium- Ella then goes out leaving her sister alone in the house
you can tell by the audience that this was the wrong thing to do. When
her sister leaves you see an intruder approach the house and enters,
when in the house the intruder takes out a music box and goes up the
stairs going to the younger sisters room. The sister then awakes and
hear these sounds and gets scared and climbs into the wardrobe. The
intruder then goes into the younger sisters room and plans to kidnap
her. The scene then ends with a negative atmosphere and it makes the
audience worry for the younger sister.
In our opening sequence two stages of Todorovs narrative theory is
used as there is a equilibrium where the atmosphere is happy and
natural then there is a disruption where a negative atmosphere occurs
and when the younger sister Rosie is left alone in the house and an
intruder comes in to kidnap her.

Mise En Scene
Costume/Makeup- The costume for Danielle will be simple and causal clothes e.g.
long sleeve top and jeans as she is representing a modern day older sister. The
costume for Olivia will minion onesie this represents how young she is and what is
popular with the younger children. It also shows what time of night the film is set as
she is wearing pyjamas this shows how she is getting ready for bed. The costume for
Jak will be black clothes and gloves this is stereotypical as intruder dress in dark and
dull colour to cover up their indemnity and to keep it a mystery to the audience.
Setting/Location- For our location we used different rooms of a house such as the
younger sisters bedroom the downstairs hallway and the upstairs hallway. Also we
used the outside of the house and the streetlight which is located next to the house.
This is as we wanted our setting to be realistic.
Character Positioning- Phoebes body language shows that she is scared of what's
going on in the house and of what's happened to her daughter. We done this to create
tension and a enigma in our production.
Lighting-In the opening sequence we use bright lighting to show the equilibrium in the
beginning of the happy and positive atmosphere. We used a light to help us make the
scenes look brighter as our filming took part at night to go with the genre of our film.
Props- In the opening sequence we have very few props as our production didnt
require a lot of props. The props we use are items which you could define in a creepy
film to set the suspense and the idea of a kidnap happening. These items can include
a music box, gloves, torch , key and a bag. Also some of the props used such as a toy
this also represents how we have a young child in our production this shows her
young and caring side.
