1) LOCATION: At first, we planned our thriller in a boarding house bedroom but we have since decided that we do not need the detail of the boy getting out of bed in his bedroom. Plus, the lighting of the room would have been a difficulty as we wanted dim lighting as the thriller is meant to be in the middle of the night. Therefore, we decided to film in the media studio, setting up the boys desk and locating him under it on his laptop.
2)SHOTS: We also exchanged the potential aerial shot at the start of the thriller of the boys bedroom to a tracking shot which acts as an establishing shot of the boys bedroom, introducing the viewers to his workspace.
3)DIRECTION OF ACTOR: We also changed the position of the actor. At first, we wanted the boy to be sat at his computer, typing and hacking the FBI but we decided to change this around so the boy is hunched over under the desk so his activity seems more secretive and intrigues the audience into wanting to find out what the boy is doing.
4)PROPS: We changed around the position of the props as we decided to place the airfix models on the boys desk rather than set up the airfix on a second desk away from his computer desk. We also decided against having shots of the pyramid of rubix cubes and the filament of the light bulb brightening up. Instead we concentrated on the boy's activity and typing to heighten the mystery.
