 This is the missing poster I have created to use in the opening and final sequence of my short film. I have used a real missing poster I found on line but changed the words to fit the film and the area I live. This is my friends ring she leant me for filming. It looks enchanting and fits with my desired genre. 

Colin: He is my dad and plays one of the cloaked figures the figures just need to be tall and require no               acting, he is 6ft1.  Cassie: She is a peer at my school and a friend so I know she will take me seriously and listen to me. She plays a cloaked figure and is 5ft9. Ralph: He is my boyfriend so will have to do as I tell him. He plays a cloaked figure and is 6ft3. Suzanne: She is my mother and I have been bouncing my ideas off her she will understand my vision and help explain it to others. She plays a cloaked figure and is 5ft7. George: He is playing figure and will be a main character. He takes A Level Drama and has been in many stage shows, I know he can take on direction well and has a lot of acting experience. Natasha: She has been in lots of plays and has done drama her whole life. She also takes A Level drama and will be able to follow direction but also act on impulse.

I want the sound in my short film to capture the essence of the genre. It should be twinkly and enchanting to reflect the fantasy side of my film but yet also haunting and unnerving to reflect the horror side of my piece. It also needs to be routed in classical instruments to intertwine with my ballet inspiration. I also am a musician myself and take A level Music Technology, so to me choosing good sound for my piece id very important and something I want to be proud of. First I found this composition. It was twinkly and had bass heavy electronic sounds blended in to it. It was haunting from the vocals. This song has a good feel about it however I'm not sure if it would be the best fit. I could cut parts of it up and use them intermittently when appropriate.    This song is a waltz and incredibly haunting. when listening to it I felt intimidated and scared, I think this would be excellent to use when the figure is talking to the girl and enticing her in like prey. This next so...
