I'm a student at Enfield County who is currently studying AS Media. My other A-level subjects are Maths and Psychology. I enjoy playing piano and watching comedy and mystery films.
Regarding props, the park scenes didn't need anything specific as it was just us. We used the park in its natural state, we did not place certain objects anywhere for a specific reason.
The mise-en-scene for the detectives room was full of objects such as coffee mugs with rings around them, half empty glasses and other things that personalise the desk towards the detective. These messy desk shows that he has is so invested in the case that he doesn't have time to clear up.
The pin board is full of things relating to the case such as the map containing the park where Yasmin was last seen, the school she goes to and her where she lives. It also has pictures of her friends and her passport.
We filmed at Morgans house on the 22nd December at 4pm. We were originally going to film a 12pm but it was too much light shone into the room, and we wanted it to be set at night.
We filmed for an hour and a half and we used Morgans brother, Kelsey, as our main actor. The shots we used were close ups of his hands, and over the shoulder shots of him watching the recordings.
For the Miss-en-Scene we made Morgans desk look messy and put up a pinboard which the investigator would use. A messy desk would symbolise that the investigator is so interested and engrossed in this case it is all he can think of right now, and this is supported with the fact that we filmed at night.
Yasmins information sheet
Along with the pinboard, another one of our main props was the File the investigator used with Yasmins name on it. This contained documents regarding the case, such as mine and Morgans written witness statements, and an information sheet on Yasmin.
We payed close attention to detail when writing these. I wrote the witness statements and Yasmin wrote her own information sheet the day of filming.
As there are two computer monitors, one of them was used for the investigator to watch the videos Morgan and I handed in to the police. On the other screen we put www.tweetping.net on fullscreen. This is a website that shows live tweets around the world. We used this to make it look like he could be tracking someone.
After school on Thursday 15th, Morgan, Yasmin and I went to the park. We filmed us messing about in the park and just having fun, and this will be used in our opening sequence when the private investigator is looking at the friends footage of the night of the incident. We chose to film at 4:45pm as it was quite dark and we filmed in the park as it was quite empty and to make it more believable that Yasmin could've gotten lost, as outside of the park it was quite light due to street lights and there were many people about.
