I have changed my storyboard again so that there is no actors. I think the fact there will be no people in the advert will make the audience feel as if they are missing a character which really works for my missing people advert. I want the audience to look at the spaces such as the bed, shower and sofa and think about how someone should be there but isnt and feel a sense of loneliness.
I realised as well it would be more effective filming clothes hangers as if the person was missing they wouldn't leave their clothes behind. It also shows an emptyness, clothes show an identity and this is whats missing. In my other storyboards I was going to film a rectangle dinner table with a chair but instead I will be using a circle one which will work just as well. The table draws your focus to the empty chair and the fact a table is something that a group of people would sit round and socialise has no-one there makes this a powerful shot.

Risk Assessment
For 19 Arthur Street, 162B Mansfield Road and Studio
I have created 6 Missing People posters on Photoshop using people who are currently missing advertised on the Missing People website. I have made them quite basic but bold with large text saying "MISSING" at the top in red. I think the fact they are advertised on the website in hope that people will spot these people I am doing a good thing in using these in my advert. I will drop these high up in the studio with a black backdrop so I can slow them down when editing. I want to capture the faces and the title "MISSING" on each poster as they fall slowly.
