Draft of; the Mise en scene, sound, editing and cinematography with camera movements
The Narrative
Our plot begins in a quiet suburban family home, where the protagonist 'Charlie' is asleep, however he's unknowingly being watched by a sadistic hacker who has cameras hidden all around the house which are feeding a live stream back to his monitor in a secret locale. The cyber terrorist decides to wake Charlie up by hacking his audio system and whispering to him, Charlie then proceeds to go to the bathroom the hacker follows his movements with the cameras by transitioning between them. As Charlie begins to brush his teeth a camera within the mirror films him, then it jump cuts to the hacker who has Charlie brushing his teeth on his monitor.
After this Charlie is shown leaving the heavily monitored house, it then cuts to scene 2 set in London's, Stratford Westfield Charlie get off the train and goes through the ticket gates, it cuts to a hand held camera being held by an insurgent who's filming Charlie so the Hacker never loses sight of his 'target'. As he is just about to enter the shopping centre it cut to the hacker typing a number combination on the keyboard then quickly cutting back to Charlie his phone begins to ring, he answers however the caller doesn't answers back just breathes heavily down the microphone so Charlie hangs up thinking it's a prank call and nothing more.
Eventually he get's into the shopping centre where he's met by a friend and they go shopping, all the while being monitored through the CCTV cameras by the hacker. It then cuts to shortly after Charlie and his friend have finished shopping at which point the friend get's a phone call with the same unknown caller ID as earlier however this time it cuts to the den and the hacker presses 'Ctrl, Alt Delete' which sends a devastating high pitched frequency through the microphone, rupturing Charlie's friends ear drum and subsequently fatally maiming him. Charlie quickly goes to the aid of his friend and reacts rapidly by attempting to call emergency services however is unable to get through.
In the last scene it cuts to the hackers den, slowly panning in a 360 degree circle around the room, showing the pictures of previous victims crossed out in red to show they're deceased, the writing on the in red ink exclaiming 'kill' over and over, the board with the map on it and pins dotted in it strategically depicting the hacker has meticulously planned out the logistics of the murders and finally the close up on the picture of Charlie which has been repeatedly circled in red marker showing he's the focus of the hackers attention.
Ideas for Mise en scene

And hacker wearing an 'anonymous mask' and all black jeans and a hoodie.

Writing on the wall 'kill' in red, a map showing the city with various pins stuck onto it,
the computer, mobile phones.

-In Stratford Charlie is followed by a handheld camera to Westfield entrance.
-Just before he proceeds to enter cuts back to hacker typing a number combo in (extreme close up of keys).
-Charlie's phone begins to ring (extreme close up of phone displaying 'unknown number) he answers hearing the hacker breathing heavily and proceeds to hang up.
-Enters shopping centre (point of view shot greeting friend).
-Then switches between 3 Ariel shots (CCTV footage B&W filter) following Charlie and friend as they shop.
-Casual dialogue on purchases interrupted by friends phone ringing (extreme close up of phone displaying 'unknown number) as friend raises his arm (slow motion).
-Jump cuts to hacker pressing Ctrl, Alt delete.
-Back to friend (high pitched sound sting) friend collapses.
-Ariel shot of Charlie going to his aid (CCTV footage B&W filter).
-Cuts to camera on his level as Charlie attempts to ring 999 but can't get through (extreme close up of phone screen displaying 'no signal, accompanied by voice over saying 'the numbers currently unavailable').
-Cuts to den and slowly pans around the room showing the pictures, the writing on the wall, the stegic board with pins in and finally (Extreme close up) Charlie picture circled in red marker.

Inspiration for my Teaser Poster adaptation
Inspiration for teaser poster 2
Andy Warhol;
'The Marilyn Diptych' is a rather unusual silkscreen painting by world renowned American pop artist Andy Warhol, currently kept at the Tate Modern gallery in London. It was completed just weeks after the untimely death of the quintessential American sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, the brightly coloured left-side is representative of her bold and outlandish celebrity lifestyle however, the faded grey-scale on the right- side is symbolic of her final years, tarnished by illness, personal problems and her overdose on prescription drugs. In a survey conducted during December 2, 2004 by 500 artist, critics and others the painting was named 'the third most influential piece of modern art'. 
Julian Opie;Julian Opie was born in London and raised in Oxford, he's a bold conceptual artist using new technologies to create unique, minimalistic portraits and animated walking figures. When describing his distinctive approach to art he said, "I often feel that trying to make something realistic is the one criteria I can feel fairly sure of. Another one I sometimes use is, would I like to have it in my room?
And I occasionally use the idea, if God allowed you to show Him one [portrait] to judge you by, would this really be it?". It's visually evident Julian has been heavily influenced by Warhol's 'The Marilyn Diptch', with the use of similar colours and the also the layout of the portraits in a grid.
My Idea;The Inspiration for my adaptation of Chas's teaser poster, came when I was looking at the 'Best of Blur' album cover, Julian used varies bold pastel colours in the background behind each band member, I thought this looked abstract and contemporary which I liked. What's notable when looking at my piece is it has the same amount of quadruple copying and a square grid layout. However it differs in the use of colour, as in Opie's and Warhol's portraits they used bright and cheerful tones, I opted to use strange edits and harsh contrasts more similar to the left-side of 'The Marilyn Diptych' achieving my final design and better fitting the thriller genre.
