This production is a Psychological thriller which is aimed at young adults from 18+. The film will be set in an abandoned warehouse. It will start of with a medium shot of a isolated warehouse for about 20 seconds. This will then follow into a range of extreme close-ups of the 'killer' cutting out pictures of a person and crossing out names of his victims; however, we don't see the victims face, or body, you will only ever see the persons hands. This creates a sense of enigma within the  audience. These shots will carry on for about a 30 seconds and will be taken from varied angles with different effects to create a sense of fear. this will lead to a whip-pan, which will reveal a tilting movement unveiling a boy tied to a chair, not knowing what will happen, keeping the audience in suspense. the next shot is of the shadow of the killer moving towards his victim. To end the production there will be a loud screeching noise to introduce the credits.
