1.Reasons for choice or ideas:
•Phone box – we have chosen this because it creates a feeling of isolation and claustrophobia. Also this is proven to have worked in the “Phone Booth”
•We used the idea of hooded and masked characters so that there would be a much more mysterious feel to it. This heightens the anxiety of Alex, and keeps the audience on edge throughout. This is a proven technique in the film “Hot Fuzz”
•We used the entire idea of phones because most people have one which means everyone is at risk. This is also a message to show technology could be taking over our lives.
•We felt that the soundtrack we chose was in fitting with our production because the whole idea of the story is mystery and suspense so we thought what was better than wind. To keep the suspense of the story as it has been successfully used in previous films, such as the graveyard scene in 'the omen'.
•The reason we used such casual and modern music during the scene which Alex is walking home because it confirms him as a normal member of society. Whilst Alex is listening to his music, he is unaware of the situation that he is currently in.
