Andrew will need to wear a suit in order to follow the usual conventions of a detective in order to give our audience a true representation of his character. Jordan must be in casual wear (jumper and trainers) also as he must follow the provisions of an urban teenager.

During this day we will be filming the entire interrogation scene with varying angles, test shots and even interviews. We will be using lighting that may vary in order to give us the opportunity to follow the mise en scene of crime thrillers.

The Representation Of Women In Thriller Films

The role of women in thriller films can vary from several concepts, this incorporates the following

• Motherly figures
• Heroins
• Sexual roles
• Innocent
• Vulnerable
• Protagonists

Motherly figures: This is evident as in the crime trhiller 'Training Day' as the character Lisa Hoyt who is the protagonist's wife plays the casual role of a house wife and maintains the household whilst her husband works in the police force

Soundtrack - Vespertilio

The piece which is written in a minor key has slowly rising dynamics and encoumpases a wide range of instruments. The opening  from 0:00 to 0:17 features a combination of orchestrial instruments and also computer edited sounds, which creates a sense of uncertainty and confusion within the opening few scenes. From 0:18 to 0:38 the tempo of the piece begins to dramatically increase and there is an increase in the use of computer edited sounds, mostly of which features violins, and strings with the main rhythm being played by some sort of drums. The increasing tempo helps to increase the suspense and tension within our opening as it follows the scene where the character ‘Rakim’ is called to meet a person who the audience is unsure of. From 0:39 to 1:00 there is a combination of vocals and edited sounds with varying dynamics, however the dynamics are significantly quiter than the earlier section of this piece. This directly correlates to our opening as the character is seen travelling, with the action taking a backseat. 1:01 to 1:25 the tempo of the piece begins to increase again as the encorporation of more strings follows, the sound of violins can be heard with also an increase in the dynamics of the drums, suggesting on coming danger is forthcoming.  1:26 to 2:25 this section of the piece features loud dynamics and instrumentation with the computer edited sounds, stringed instruments and minor vocals all coming into play at the same time, this part of the piece correlates with our piece as during this section the character ‘Rakim’ is seen handing a suspicous package to another character, where they part ways. This helped us to form suspense as at that current time the audience were unaware of what was in the package, and whilst we wanted to keep was in the bag consealed we also wanted the audience to be aware that it was something sinister and this particular section of music helped us to put that idea across. This particular piece of music helped us to follow the mise en scene of sound within thriller films. With music usually beginning with a slow tempo and slowly increasing over time, with dynamics also slowly increasing as the piece continues. Due to the instrumentation of the piece we were also able to build up a form of tension without having to reveal as much information on screen and at points left our audience unaware of certain aspects of our opening.
