Do you think it is effective? Why?</i><br />
POV shot, Close up, Handheld which helped show intensity, Long Shots, Mid Shots, Panning Shot and good Reaction Shot.<i> </i>This collection of various camera shots creates an interesting opening sequence. <i></i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>2. What type of sound has been used?Does it work with the visuals? How?</i><br />
Intense Music, with speech added to the effect of the storyline.<i> </i>With added both non-diegetic and diegetic sound.<br />
<br />
3. <i>How has the mise-en-scene been constructed? Does it have an impact on the thriller genre?</i> <br />
Realistic costumes, the fake poison helped construct the narrative, again location helped create the sense of realism. Good aspects of thriller genre.<br />
<br />
4. <i>What editing techniques have been used?</i><br />
Effective transitions and credits. Jump cuts made it seem faster paced.<br />
<i> </i><br />
5. <i>Can you think of any constructive criticisms?</i><br />
<i>P</i>roduction logo could have been longer, laughter in the background needs to be taken out.

We have the main part of our sequence but we need to get the continuity flowing and possibly add in some effects where needed. The sequence was potentially too long as it can only be 2 minutes, so by using things such as cuts in the right places, we can get the scenes still making sense but also shortening it at the same time.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-80913776723420201862011-03-15T03:06:00.000-07:002011-03-15T03:06:25.681-07:00Filming OutcomeFilming went reasonably well, we managed to get to location and shoot everything all in one session. Although due to circumstances out of our control, we were unable to shoot in the garage leaving us unable to do our garage scene. As a result of this we did not film the torture scene but we have scenes that connotate that the character Harry is in danger/hurt instead like when he's dragged away.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-8625140441967201972011-03-15T02:28:00.000-07:002011-03-15T02:28:42.530-07:00Film Name - Maniacal<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Maniacal</b></u></span><br />
The name we chose for our film is Maniacal.<br />
This term comes from the word maniac which is a person who distributes extreme wild or violent behaviour.<br />
Maniacal means to be affected with or suggestive of madness of which we see madness displayed by the girl in our opening sequence.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-4714980055625618592011-03-15T02:18:00.000-07:002011-03-15T02:18:10.939-07:00Peer Feedback From The Other Class<b><u>Pro's</u></b><br />

<br />
Sound - Footsteps on gravel (loud), door opening.<br />
<br />
Editing - Not much editing yet, but use of shot types excellent.<br />
<br />
Group comment - sound quite loud but clear. Talking mega lolz.<br />
Improvement - more editing to catch the thriller genre.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-34787955683785251672011-03-09T07:14:00.000-08:002011-03-09T07:24:36.263-08:00Thriller Open Sequence Rough Cut<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="199" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/afh9SpEP72U" title="YouTube video player" width="300"></iframe></div>Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-24559439844692032742011-02-15T02:23:00.000-08:002011-02-15T02:23:57.712-08:00what are your top tips for filming??Some of my top tips for filming.<br />
<br />
One of our main tricks we found vie a process of elimination, is when shooting a medium or close up of a character (when outdoors especially), is to use a mirror of large white sheet to counter the shadow on tone side of the character's face.<br />
<br />
Another tips is when shooting a POV scene attach a light/torch to the camera, especially if the POV is for a thriller in the dark (as they usually are). this give more imidiate light to that ever the person if looking at, however it can backfire and look unrealistic if the light is too bright.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-46570974238011219922011-02-15T02:04:00.000-08:002011-02-15T02:04:51.293-08:00Target AudienceAge: Late teens to 30's. We feel this is an appeal to this age range as it being a thriller young children will not be watching our production, due to the fact it would be too complicated or disturbing for them to watch. And with the content that is in our film, we feel that late teens to adults is a good age group. <br />
Gender: Male and Female. All genders could enjoy and watch our film, due to the fact that it's a thriller, which both genders enjoy. Both genders can relate to the film. <br />
Existing films similar to ones such as ours are; s7ven, The Shining and Psycho. Our target audience may enjoy these because they're all also thrillers and have a similar storyline.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-40523910741174047022011-02-08T02:16:00.000-08:002011-02-08T02:16:50.712-08:00Why Thrillers Thrive The reason people go to the cinema to watch a thriller is because our civilization has blocked out the elements of what should be everyday life that allow us to feel 'thrills', and the only other way that people can feel this is to watch others doing so. To a degree getting your 'thrills' through a screen could be seen as the best alternative as you don't receive the consequences of getting them, consequences such as injury, or emotional scarring. Attending a cinema to get these 'thrills' allows the audience to be safer and secure when getting the their source of adrenaline.<br />
<br />
Whilst watching unconventional things of peoples everyday life unfold on a screen, the message that is eventually passed on to the audience is how the actions that unravel are only acceptable on the screen and not to be practiced outside of the cinema.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-55412484793313097922011-02-08T02:08:00.000-08:002011-02-08T02:08:06.191-08:00Shot List<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO-jl6XLI1lKxaUtwn-1PRTtxa2bPH56Cf8xVHnuSmBO6sxrNcPTnhVigpkUyqTXbnNib3i0ui4SKnVZ-px4WiTq7130lrwt6bXJ7is2uZK73SZr0MNtJreKKWyYCgep76wkSKJK0Xcns/s1600/DSCN0600.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO-jl6XLI1lKxaUtwn-1PRTtxa2bPH56Cf8xVHnuSmBO6sxrNcPTnhVigpkUyqTXbnNib3i0ui4SKnVZ-px4WiTq7130lrwt6bXJ7is2uZK73SZr0MNtJreKKWyYCgep76wkSKJK0Xcns/s640/DSCN0600.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-69467113422795847032011-02-08T01:50:00.002-08:002011-02-08T01:50:16.426-08:00Location RecceLocation one - Emilys house - Soham.<br />
Interior - The only rooms in Emily's house that we will be using are the hall, the living room and the kitchen. We will use these for shots 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9. The only risks I can find with filming in these areas is the fact that in the kitchen there are such utensils such as knifes and ovens and microwaves, and with all the equipment in there things might get knocked over or in the way.<br />
<br />
Location two - The garage - Soham.<br />
Interior - The inside of the garage is large but does have some items still in it. But this will make it look realistic. We will use this this location for shots 10 and 11. The possible risks that could occur would be if we used the loft, and using the stairs to climb and up down the stairs.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-57196207920917633242011-02-08T01:33:00.000-08:002011-02-08T01:33:57.145-08:00Shooting Schedule10:00am - Pick up equipment from college.<br />

Grace: Grace is a lower class single Mum, with not a lot of money. So her costume will include trackies and a jumper/hoody. This will show and contrast with Harry's outfit due to that fact shes a lower class than him and is a lot less wealthy.<br />
Harry - A suit, to show his importance and wealthiness. Smart hair and shoes also.<br />
<br />
Location: We chose to use one of our group members homes for our opening scene, this is because the building is suitable. moreover, if we were to film in a public place other members of the public may get in the way (e.g. walking across our shot). we also chose to film our murder scene in one of our group members garage. we chose here because we think it will create the right kind of dark atmosphere which we want to display, and that is needed for thriller.<br />
<br />
Lighting: The lighting will depend on the day itself when shooting the first few minutes of our sequence, although when Harry wakes up in the garage before being tortured, we will have to make it dark and shadowy. This will make the whole scene seem more dark and scary, and will create the right mood and atmosphere. We will use little lighting and make Grace's shadows heavy and dark, to make her seem more superior than Harry, as she in the one in control in this scene.<br />
<br />
Props: As Harry's buisness is involving bananas we will need a few for him to bring to Grace's house. Although the main area where props are needed is the torture scene, where we will need to all bring in some type of torture method. Although this could be dangerous, so they cannot be real.<br />
Props such as : fake knifes, plastic guns and hammers, nails, matches. We realise that we have to be careful whislt using these toys and will take great care whist doing so.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-70843017869392313702011-02-04T03:10:00.000-08:002011-02-04T03:10:15.637-08:00Storyboard<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB756u8OqDeALxmgsfLcA-BBGZO8jUERNhhMBT6PSVjANY1CI4n03xDKiVEzeytWz3LdL3GQhtsvL_0RhibcpewfGhOitNo63tPb9L0zhsBEU-ylU7f7Yqr_q4CGcSBMZyBm0pKQNuXAI/s1600/DSCN6194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB756u8OqDeALxmgsfLcA-BBGZO8jUERNhhMBT6PSVjANY1CI4n03xDKiVEzeytWz3LdL3GQhtsvL_0RhibcpewfGhOitNo63tPb9L0zhsBEU-ylU7f7Yqr_q4CGcSBMZyBm0pKQNuXAI/s640/DSCN6194.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

We were told we had a good variety of idea's as our plans featured a few possible idea's. We were also told to think about sound, if music would be featured in our thriller and where and when we would apply it, where we then came to the conclusion that music will be featured but we have yet to go into the detail of where and when to feature it. <br />
The sub genre of crime was good, but we were told that we had to make sure we apply it to the thriller in a clear simple way. A key feature of a crime thriller is that it normally features a murder so as our planned thriller involves a murder, this can express the sub-genre easily.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-36280162948644028732011-01-26T06:58:00.000-08:002011-01-28T03:21:23.893-08:00Planning For Pitch Presentation.Narrative description: <br />
As a group we have many different ideas to the storyline for our opening sequence. <br />
1) A women is incredibly jealous of her brothers fortune, and ends up killing him. <br />
The opening sequence shows her killing her brother and the rest of the film shows the order of events that led up to the death. <br />
2) A family go on holiday for a week, not knowing that a killer, who stalks the oldest daughter of the family, is staying in same hotel as them. <br />
The opening sequence shows the killer stalking the daughter of the family. <br />
3) Two girls find a dead body in a shop, and the whole store gets locked inside. <br />
The opening sequence shows the two girls finding the dead body. <br />
<br />
After discussing the ideas carefully as a group we decided on doing the first idea. The sub genre of the film is crime. We chose this because its an interesting genre and can have a lot of ideas from the genre. <br />
The conventions of a crime/thriller are:<br />
- Has to add a crime, either successful or failed.<br />
- Focus on the criminal rather than the policeman/ investigator.<br />
- Emphasize on action over psychological ascpects. <br />
- The crimes could include: robberies, murders, chases, drug dealings and many others. <br />
<br />
Characters:<br />
Main character - Grace. A middle aged women who is jealous of her younger brothers success and fortune. Single, with a 5 year old child. <br />
<br />
Harry - The younger brother who has recently come into a lot of money via the international trade of bananas. <br />
<br />
The costumes that the characters will wear will be:<br />
<br />
Grace: Everyday clothes to symbolize the difference between her and her brothers fortunes.<br />
<br />
Harry: A suit, as he is rich and wealthy. <br />
<br />
<br />
Location: Sisters house. As we are allowed out of college site, we have a wide selection of locations that we could film in. <br />
For example :<br />
Town center<br />
Characters houses<br />
Fields and large open areas. <br />
<br />
<br />
Opening Sequence: Harry (the brother) will turn up to Graces house (the sister) unaware that he is going to be murdered. Conventionally this part of the film would be at the end, however, having this at the beginning will instantly catch the audiences attention. They'll being having a conversation and Harry will start talking about his big success and business, which angers Grace. She then goes to make him a cup of tea, and pours some poison in his drink. Harry then passes out and wakes up in Grace's garage. He's tied to a chair, she then tortures him till he dies.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-56603153443402081232011-01-25T01:52:00.000-08:002011-01-25T01:53:25.511-08:00Thriller Production Logo<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqvkKZtepGlB0l1im169b-3jP600aEWcweFyjpHKPJ8eBybqTDf3ZAOuwVJA8r8PHOpFyZqunsW90zqP9JzEONwBmhj51SWFkCnrn-Ep2fDUtidsZNFA0uLvL9q5ieJeXmDKzETHW4Nrg/s1600/LEECH+LOGO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="207" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqvkKZtepGlB0l1im169b-3jP600aEWcweFyjpHKPJ8eBybqTDf3ZAOuwVJA8r8PHOpFyZqunsW90zqP9JzEONwBmhj51SWFkCnrn-Ep2fDUtidsZNFA0uLvL9q5ieJeXmDKzETHW4Nrg/s320/LEECH+LOGO.jpg" /></a></div><br />

The color scheme used for our logo shows dark disgusting greens and blood reds, these are representable of the thriller genre as they can be associated with death, horror or anything that might be seen as a key element in any thriller film. The colours used also mirror the stereotype that fall upon leeches, which is, that they suck out human blood and are seen in a negative light due to this.<br />
The background colour for the logo helps to set the tone for the film to come with a murky and dirty feel which also reflects upon the colours in letters and meaning behind the name and picture. adding to this, the colours have a subtle context that may make it more noticeable. Moreover, the production name "LEECH" is suitable for a thriller production company, rather than a thriller company named "Happy Friends Of The World" for instance.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129018940161635904.post-77603882567652753612011-01-25T01:45:00.000-08:002011-01-25T01:47:38.499-08:00BBFC<b>'15'</b><br />

<b>'18'</b><br />
Noone younger than 18 may watch an '18' at the cinema or rent/buy '18' rated films.<br />
With the findings of the BBFC and The Human Rights Act 1998, the BBFC guidelines do not overrule the principle that adults should be able to choose there own entertainment so the BBFC guidelines do not really apply. There are some exceptions to this such as if the films content breaches the law or contains material which risks actual harm to individuals or strong explicit images of sexual activity which cannot be justified. <br />

This logo was created probably through some sort of editing programme like Adobe Photoshop but probably more professional and expensive software, there seems to be a use of 3D in the editing and the logo clearly displays the productions company name within the image.<br />
