This is a rough plan of what the room will look like.

Here are a few images of what we want in our office space which will be built in the media studio. The most obvious  prop will be the open cases board which suggests this is a dectective office. Bellow is an example of a board which we will have.

Yesterday our group showed our pilot to a focus group. We had mixed reviews throughout the showing but over all they liked it except for the ending.

For the ballet sequence they loved the elegance of it but felt it went on for a little to long. I think this is something we cannot change because we need this sequence to be long enough to show the credits. I feel we will just have to get more interesting shots to keep the audience interested. Another point made by one person was that our ballerina was not good enough which I felt was a very unfair comment. Although we are not using the ballerina shown in the video I felt she did an excellent job.
The focus group were all girls which is slightly biased because if we showed it to boys they may have a different op ion. We did however have Phil our teacher with us and he thought when we come to shoot the real thing we should hardly see the ballerinas face, we should just concentrate on close ups of her feet and arms etc. This ties in with what another person from the focus group thought. The ballerina in this scene will not be our main character but naturally the person from the focus group thought she was. If we go with Phil's idea about close ups which means we will hardly see her face this will hopefully suggest she is not a main character. Personally I have seen films which open with characters who end up not playing a big role in the film even so I see where the focus group are coming from. In some ways it may be a good idea to make the audience think she is a main character and then when she gets killed early on the audience will be surprised.

A great example of this happening is in the film "Psycho". The films starts by following Marion Crane but shortly she is killed off and the audience are left shocked!

The focus group did not like the way we filmed the car scene which I agree with. They liked the idea of the car scene but they thought it was to much of a jump from the ballet sequence. We presented the idea about the crime scene office instead of the car scene and they preferred it which is good. Now we are moving forward with the office scene and we are currently casting our actors.

confusion over what to follow up the diescrete sequence with, to check I have gone and analysed another film opening to see how thery bridge the titles and opening scene, this is what I have found...

 

 

given this we are thinking of ...

To begin with we had to work out who the main characters are in the film, obviously the psycho obsessed with ballet dancers/perfection, but also the detectives who would be trying to track him down before more girls go missing.

Most of the thrillers I have watched start with a normal day. From the pictures above from the film se7ven we can see it starts with a establishing shot, then we are introduced to the main character.I feel we should go with a clear simple opening like se7ven because there are not many thrillers which start with an action packed sequence.

 

What would the detective be like? Tired, stressed? Married, single or divorced? Maybe he is in the process of a divorce? Perhaps drinks too much because of the horrible stuff he has done in his work. So then what should we tell the audience about him in the first few shots? To establish what he is like we could put a ring on his finger which would tell the audience he was married or there could be a picture of children on his desk which would tell us he is a family man.

Seeing him at the start of an average day gives us an idea of what his routine is and this can tell us a lot about a person, how much care do they take in their appearance, what they like for breakfast well(are they healthy?)

To make the audience believe that he is a real detective it is important that we make the office look convincing so I did some research into British police dramas to see what the offices of murderer detectives look like, props, set, lighting etc.

 

 

 

From this we can see that most offices have a main board which holds alot of information. There are office desks with lamps which shows they work late at night. Unless we cannot find a room with all this in we will have to create this office space the media studio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thriller on Prezi

 

Below is the rough copy of our thriller. We could not use the ballerina we wanted so instead we used another dancer who was extremely good. We spent more time filming the ballet sequence which was good because it ended up looking good but it was bad because the car scene did not look good.

Filming the ballet scene was much more difficult than I thought because it is very hard to film someone who is moving all over the place. Close up's of the feet proved to be very difficult because in ballet the feet move very quickly so we had to be quick with the camera work.
When we come to film the real thriller we need to know exactly what shots we want because when we filmed the pilot we spent a lot of time standing there trying to think of more shots when we should have been filming.

The car scene did not work well at all. It did not look real at all and the sound effects were not great. We are now having to rethink whether or not we should have the car scene at all? We will sit down and discuss.

In the real thriller we want to make the ballet studio much more darker and have soft lighting on the ballerina which will make it look elegant.

This is where we will be filming our ballet scene. This is a proper ballet studio which is great because it comes with mirrors and ballet bars. Its a very simple studio which is good because it won't take the attention away from the dancer. We will have to move the back ground objects like the television because it looks unprofessional.

This is a video on audience reviewing films.

We have had a change to our thriller thirty second sequence. The thirty second sequence on the man picking up the leaflet was to basic. We spoke to the media teacher and he said it should be completely different to ballet. We are now having a man in a car speeding along the road. He will pull over and cock a gun then leave the car.

We are using the meader teacher for man in the car. We choose him because he is quite young and has an edginess to him. Another thing which is good is that he is insured to drive the car we want to use. The car we are using is one of the groups members car (Camilla). She lives in London which is not far away from our school so it wont take her long to get here.

Here is our stroy board:

Here is our stroy board:

SHOT LIST

1) The scene opens with a close up shot of a ballerina putting her feet into grit, and there is a loud crunching sound as she does it

2) Slow pan shot of the room through the mirror to introduce the setting

3) There will be slow motion shot of her trying her ribbons around her legs

4) Then there will be a wide shot of her doing some stretches

5) Then there will be a close up shot of her face where she is breathing heavily in preparation for ballet

6) Then she begins to do some pirouettes, the camera slowly tilts down her body and reaches her feet, the camera then tracks her feet in a 360 degree motion, in the opposite direction to the way her feet are turning.

7) Then there is a wide shot of the ballerina, continuing to do her pirouettes

8) The camera then moves to a birds eye shot and the ballerina starts moving around the room

9) There is then another close up of her face, we can see she has become tense

10) Close up of her feet, her toes are going up and down, looks painful.

11) Wide shot of her moving towards the camera, when she reaches the camera there is a black out

12) Wide shot a quiet street

13) Zoom in of a character on the street

14) 180 degree shot so camera is now on her front

15) Camera zooms in a bit so it is a mid-shot, she walks into a building, looks at a board and smiles

16) Camera then turns back around and there is an over the shoulder shot of what she is looking at which is a ‘roommate wanted’ sign

17) She then reaches out her hand and then takes one of the tickets

                                 Synopsis

 

                Our film will open with a ballerina dancing. We will have lots of slow motion shots of her dancing and a few tracking shots . We will have non-diegetic music.

 The song we have chosen is called raindrops. This is graceful classical music but it has a dark edge to it at times which fits into the genre (thriller).

 The lighting will be soft and dim to fit in with the graceful movements.

 While this scene is going on the titles will appear over the top.

We will then have a thirty second opening to the film. It will be an everyday day and we will have a long shot of a street. The main girl (the ballerina from the opening) will walk down the street and grab a flyer. The flyer will be advertising for roommates.     

 

I have looked at "Cabin in the Woods" and I can see that after the title sequence it cuts to the film which is a very different feel from the opening titles.Nothing happens in the first few minutes therefore we have to apply this to our thriller.

Today we had a chat with out teacher about our opening to our thriller. He said he did not like the part about the ballerina hurting herself because it would interrupt the graceful dancing. I was worried that just having a ballerina dancing would not be thriller like but with the music and the titles we can make it very much like a thriller. After the ballerina scene we are going to have some titles then we will have a 30 seconds of the actual film. We are unaware of what this 30 seconds will be so I have been looking at film openings and what comes just after them.

I looked at the film opening to the others. This is picture is of the last bit of the title sequence. The music is very creepy which lets the audience know this film will be scary.

This is what came next. If you had not seen the rest of the film this house would not mean anything to you therefore this house shot is very random. The next shot is of a woman in bed screaming which again is unexpected. I found this was the same with most films. The shot after the titles sequence is completely different to where the titles had been shot.

My group now needs to come up with the 30 second scene. It could be a few simple shots of a town or city- an establishing shot.

Today we have sat down and discussed thriller ideas and we now have two final ideas. Our plot for the film is a man obsessed with ballerinas and he takes them and uses their bones to create his own perfect ballerina.

Our opening sequence is going to be of a ballerina dancing in room which is full of miorrs. Most of the sequence will be beautiful dancing but she will have some kind of accident which will not be major but it signifies something dangerous is going to happen. We thought maybe she could cut heself and all we see is this drop of red blood which makes the audience aware something bad might happen to this girl.

We thought maybe we could cut to a man driving to the studio where the ballerina is practising. We would keep cutting back and forth to the man driving and the dancer. Finally the door to the studio will open and we will see the mans feet. The dancer will look up at theshe will looked shocked.

We thought about the opening to what lies beneath because we thought they were similar. In what lies beneath the film starts with mist and you think you can see something when suddenly it cuts to a women in the bath and she quickly pulls her head out of the bath. We were going to have idea in ours. Maybe as the man opens the door the dancer falls and twists her ankle before looking up at the camera.

After discussing this we thought cutting between the driving and the dancing would take our attention away from the beautiful dancing therefore we thought we will just have the ballerina and keep it simple but effective. We thought about having a montage after this ballerina scene of different ballerinas getting measured and rejecting to show what a tough life it is for a ballerina but we then decided we were overcomplicating therefore we shall just do the ballerina by herself.

 

I thought maybe this was too much like the movie 'Black swan' but Phil our teacher reminded us that all films have similarities for example lots of horror films involve people going into attics or cellars therefore we should not worry and we will make it different from the film.

We are now having to finalise our thriller idea because soon we will be storyboarding our film opening. A storyboard maps out the different shots we will have.
One of our group members told us their idea which was to have a man stalking a little girl. The film would start in a bowling alley. We liked the bowling idea because we would build up the noises of the bowling alley to build up tension. The shot will open with a ball running along the bowling lane. our names would come up at this time.We then decided to have flashbacks of different moments in the girls life. We would use a handheld camera for the flashbacks to make it seem like we were the man watching all of this.
Our only problem was relating the bowling to the story so our task now is to either come up with a way in which we can link them together or come up with another bowling idea.

Today I looked at the film 'falling down' which is in the same genre as my film idea 'no one runs'. I looked at the title sequence of this film and noted down the order of credits. This will help me and my group for when we make our thriller opening. This was the order I found-

DISTRIBUTOR
PRODUCTION COMPANIES
PRODUCER
A JOEL SCHUMACHER FILM-DIRECTOR
MAIN ACTOR
MAIN ACTOR
TITLE OF FILM
SUPPORTING CAST
COSTUME DESIGNER
MUSIC BY...
CO-PRODUCER

It is important that the credits are in this order because it is in the order of importance.

One thing I loved about this credits was that it was all done in one take. I thought maybe we could do this for our thriller because it is quite effective but it restricts the variety of camera shots we could do and there would not be allot of edtitng involved therefore I do not feel this would work for us.

NEW THRILLER IDEAS

In todays lesson we were coming up with a few more thriller ideas in our groups. Our teacher gave a list of recent stories which were on the news as well as some thriller films. The idea was, was to take three ideas from the list and trace ideas from then. 

For example on the list was a story about a plane which went down in Glasgow. We then put our heads together and thought of a highjacking thriller story. We imagined the beginning of the film would be the high jacker getting ready, maybe changing his identity.
Once we had come up with at least three ideas each person from the group and wrote one idea in detail. BELLOW IS THE IDEA I WROTE UP.

NO ONE RUNS

This idea is based on the 2011 Norway attack. Our thriller will focus mainly on Anders Behring Brevikik who was the man went round shooting everyone. Our film will be the run up to the events as well as a few scenes of the after effect. We will also focus on two families who were affected by these tragic events. We will look at their lives before,during and after the Norway incident.

Opening

It will open with some still wide shots of the inside of Anders house. For example the kitchen, bedroom, dinning etc. This is to set the scene and lets the audience know that this is a normal typical home. We will have a tracking shot down the corridor where we can see the bathroom at the end of the corridor. We will see a shower and an outline of the a body in the shower. There will then be some shots of Anders getting dressed and eating breakfast but he will look a little on edge whilst doing this. We will then see Anders packing a bag full of guns. The camera will then focus on a map next to the bag and on the map will be a route which is drawn on by a red point. He will pick up the map and smile. We will then see him get in his car and drive off.   

Stylised- Stylised film openings is a combination of discrete and straight into the film. With Stylised openings the film has started and we are making our first impressions of the characters yet the titles which are appearing over the top of the film are very different from what you normally expect- black plain writing. A good example of a Stylised opening is 'The Taking Of Pelham 1,2,3'

At first the titles are coming onto the screen by a black strip running along the screen. This reminds us of a train going past because in the background we can here the sound a train.

Suddenly as the camera work speeds up the titles become more fashionable and urban which goes with the loud upbeat music.

Here the titles become in time with the train and come and go as if they were trains leaving station.

The titles are quite cool and suggest that this is a cool movie and that the characters are quite edgy.    You can tell a lot by the title sequence and if the title sequence is bad then this could affect the rest of the movie but if the title sequence is good it gets the audience exited and ready for the rest of the film. However if the opening is to good then the rest of film will have a hard time matching that quality.

Discrete- This credit qequence is separate from the rest of the film. Once the credits have come up the film then starts. An example of discrete film credits is casino royale. Discrete credits are normally fun and exciting because they stand alone. The casno royale credits are exactly that yet they do give us a few clues to what the film will be like.

Straight into film with titles on top- The film starts but the opening ququence can never show to much because the titles which are coming up do not want to destract you from the film. An example of this is the shining. The opening credits is of a car going along the road. The titles pop up over the top but they do not destract you from the film because nothing much is happening with the narrative.

In today's lesson we were looking the order of credits and the title structures. There are four diffirent structures-

Traditonal- This is normally white text on a black background. Once the titles have come up the film starts. You can tell alot through the meaning of the titles because of the font, colour, movement of text and music.










 
This is from One Hour Photo which demostrates traditonal credits. From this title we can see it may be about cameras because there is a flash over the titles which is like a camera flash. Underneath Fox Searchlight Pictures there are camera functions which also tell us this film will be about photos. The music is dark and mysterioyus which suggest this is a thriller.




The titles then fade to red which represents danger and blood which also creates a thriller atmosphere.

We had to pitch our idea today to matt who is going to help us improve our thriller openings and give us feedback on our ideas so far. The feedback I got was- In most films they have an act 1, act 2 and an act 3. For shutter island act 1 is the two characters on the boat. Act 2 is finding the missing person and act 3 is when everything gets revealed. This is the structure that I need for my film. The main thing matt said was not to give to much away but you need enough to know your characters a little. An example of a good thriller opening was "Way of the Gun". The film starts with two men in a queue. A women starts to scream at them because they set a car alarm off. The two men swear at her and tell her to be quiet. Everyone in the queue goes up to the two men and look at them fiercely. One of the men punches the girl in the face and this starts a fight. From this we can tell these two love trouble and they probably think of themselves as bad boys.

Finish what you started is still to complicated and the scenes are to mixed up and a little farfetched. I am sticking with title sequence from finish what you started because they fit nicely with this storyline. The Waiting Game is my new idea which runs on the same tracks as finish what you started but I have made it more interesting and less farfetched. My teaher recomed The Woody Allen film "Match Point" which is in the same frame of mind of The Waiting Game".

After my discussion with my teacher about a girl on an alien island I have changed my idea. I like the idea of a kidnap for money. Bellow is an outline of my story.

Today we were presenting our film ideas. My film idea- A couple goes on holiday to Africa and takes a trip into the rainforest. There car breaks down and whilst the husband looks for help the girl gets taken by a group of men. She is beaten up and rapped whilst her husband is hiding nearby having to watch this. In the middle of the night the husband goes into the camp and takes his wife. They now have to get out of the rain forest whilst surviving the rainforest. They have to face waterfalls, wild animals until a tribe saves them and offers to look after them. The couple stays in this camp for a couple of months and it is here that the girl finds out she is pregnant. One morning the camp is on fire because the group of men who took the girl has found them. They grab the girl but one of the tribesmen manages to shoot the man who has her. Once again the couple are on the run but luckily they come across a group of English explorers who take them to safety. The girl gets very ill from a disease she caught in Africa. She is taken to hospital where they manage to save the baby but unfortunately she dies. The twist is that the baby is not her husbands but it is the child of one of the men who rapped her. The husband returns home with the baby. My opening titles would be of the couple packing and going to the airport but after discussing the story line with the class we felt it was a little farfetched.

WATCHING In todays lesson we were watching a documentary called "watching" which was about film titles. "films need to seduce their audience into long term commitment. While there are many types of seduction, the temptation to go for instant arousal is almost irresistible"- Thomas Sutcliffe. This quote is talking about grabbing your audience in the first few minutes in a film. One man said "if the first page of the script does not give you a hard on throw it away". With lots of films the begging is vital. For example if you miss the begging of Psycho then the rest of the film will not have the same effect on you as it does on those who saw the famous shower scene. On the other hand Jean jacques a french director argues the risks of having 'instant arousal' are the rest of film has to then live up to the begging of the film. A film has to go somewhere after the begging and if the begging was to good then the rest of the film could be a disappointment because it might not live up to the begging. A film is not just two minutes of an amazing opening but its an hour and a half movie which needs to keep your audience going. A good begging should make the audience feel like they don't know too much but at the same time they don't know to little. This is important because if an audience know the plot in the first few minutes then thats it the film is ruined for them but if they don't understand it at all then they might be annoyed and not try to understand it therefore they will have a boring ride. If the audience knows something but not everything then they will be on your side because they will want to stay and find out. Some directors start the film with the ending so that the audience are guessing throughout the film how the ending works. Stanley Kauffmann says the classic opening is a establishing shot of a city- close up of a building- camera rising up the building- go inside a window, past the reception office- ending on the main character at his or hers desk. From this we know the location, we know what job this character has. We know a little bit about the character by his or hers job. For example if the main character was in a big fancy building then we know they are quite high up in their job therefore they are probably quite motivated. Normally the best openings have no dialogue. The miss en scene and camera shots should tell you a lot. The shining opening is a classic example of a good no dialogue opening. The camera following the car makes us seem like predators. They are in the middle of nowhere which tells us they can not escape and if they do no one will be able to safe them. The music is very creepy which makes the audience aware that this will not be a funny film. This is all done through mise en scene and camera angles. Kyle cooper's title sequence to seven is very good because it gets you prepared for a gory film. The title sequence does not tell you much but it shows us this film will be about investications and murders due to quick shots of dead people and lots of newspaper reports. It is quite a shocking title sequence but it gets you ready. Orson Wells's title sequence caused a lot of stress for the studio that made it becuase Orson wanted no soundtrack on the opening sequence and no titles because he wanted the audience to plunge straight into the film and get rid of anything that would make it feel like a movie. The studio put a score in the opening sequence but Orson argued over this and eventually had it his way.

In today’s lesson we were editing our prelim on final cut pro. The first thing we learnt was bins. This is a folder in which you Put all your footage in so that if you deleted your footage you would Have a back up due to the bin. This bin is called fresher. The second bin we learnt was a login bin. You put all the footage you know you are going to use in this. Bins are very helpful because it keeps you organised. If you did not use your bins then you would have footage all over the place and it would become very confusing. Once we had done that with our footage we started editing. You have to screens on final cut pro. One screen plays back what is in your timeline(this is your edited footage)and the other screen plays back any footage from your bins. To get the footage you want into the timeline you double click on the footage you want from your login bin. This footage will come up in the right hand screen. Click the screen and drag over to the timeline and this will put that footage in the timeline. To cut a clip in the timeline to put your mouse at the end of the clip untill two arrows facing opposite directions come up. Once this comes up click and drag backwards. The problem we had with our editing was the outside noise in our film. Because we filmed outside we had different noises in different scenes. To fix this we copied the soundtrack of the outside noise from one of the clips and pasted this over the whole film so that we had a contionous outside noise through it.

Genres are relevent to audiences becuase  it helps them choose a film when they go to the cinema or pick a dvd. I love horror films so if I know I am seeing a horror film then I will have an expectation which is to get scared. If I get scared then that expectation has been suceeded therefore I come away happy. Because I know its  a horror film it means I will look for things like something jumping out of you. If I did not know it was a horror film then I would not be waitng for anything therefore I would not get the whole satisfaction.

Genres and production company- Genres help production companies find the right cast for a movie. If a musical was being cast the production company will probably look at other musicals and maybe select a well known musical actor for the role. Some actors will be cast in certain genres like Jim Carrey normally stars in comedies. Because he is known for comedies it means production companies who may be looking for a lead to star in a comedy can cast him without an audition because they know he is funny because they have seen him in other comedies and know that is his specialty.
Equally some directors stick to the same genre which means production companies know which directors are best suited therefore when they come to get a director they can rule off any directors that don't direct the movie genre that they are casting for.

Distribution- Targeting a film is a huge part of a film. If a comedy is coming out then they will want to push the fact that it is a comedy in the trailer or poster so that comedy lovers will come and watch it. If horror film trailer does not show the fact that this is a horror film then horror fans will not see the movie. Equally someone might go and see that film but not be aware it is a horror and be disappointed because they thought it would be something different. If distribution companies understand more clearly who they are selling to (because there is an existing fan base for that genre) then it is easier for them to target the film.

Genre means type of film or style of film. Some different types of genres are-

Comedy,horror,sci-fi,thriller,western etc.

Three different things that you might see in a type of genre is the same kind of characters, same kind of narrative and same mise en scene. Thriller films are different form other genres because they can all be very different. The characters are can be very diffident or the mise en scene can be different.

These two films are both thrillers but they are both very different from each other. One is set in the future in space which is about a group of people finding the orgins of earth. On the other side you have snakes on a plane which is set in the present day. Snakes on a plane has snakes which are the threat where as aliens are the threat in Prometheus. The mise en scene is very different in both films.

Prometheus- Alien, Space ship and characters- astronauts, scientist and alien.

Snakes on plane- criminals, everyday people and snakes.

other genres tend to be relatively the same.



Friends with benefits and no strings attached are both romantic comedy's and they are very similar.
They both follow the same story lines - friends who sleep together then fall out but ends with them getting together. The posters even have the same colours.

Thrillers are very varied unlike sci-fi for example which normally uses space for location and has some kind of aliens.

Within a thriller you have a sub genre. Within the sub genre there are similarity's for example a thriller evokes an emotional response from the audience using suspense.
One thing thrillers have in common is something being threatened, something posing as a threat and someone stopping the threat. For example in these three thriller posters we see three different people are looking like they mean business. they all look tough and we wan clearly see their emotions because it is a close up on their face. The man in the grey has a cut on his check and in skyfall he is holding a gun which suggests both films will be violent. salt may appear to females and males because she is a female lead and she is also very good looking as is Liam Neeson and Daniel Craig.

Here are some different sub genres-
action thriller
conspiracy thriller
crime thriller
disaster thriller
erotic thriller
legal thriller
medical thriller
psychological thriller
political thriller
spy thriller
supernatural thriller
horror thriller

When we do our thrillers i would love to do a horror thriller because i love horror films.

Filming our Prelim.

We were given a script which we had to follow but we could interrupt the script in any way we liked. We decided to set our scene outside with a girl tied up. We then had two other people [one holding a gun] standing either side of the girl tied up and they were fighting over who would kill her.

One problem we had was filming outside. One problem with filming outside was the light change, which meant different scenes looked slightly different. If we had filmed inside we would not have had that problem. Another problem was everyday sounds outside. We were filming our last shot and suddenly in the background we could here a leaf blower which means we will have a problem with continuity. We overcomplicated the scene by having props which were unnecessary. We spent about 15 minutes getting the props ready which in the end we did not use. This meant we wasted time rather than getting creative shoots. A rule I have learnt is overdoing a scene is not a good idea. Some of the bets films are very simple in the way they are filmed. One of the actors did not know their lines which meant we had to stop start the filming process therefore another thing I have learnt is always be prepared.

My job in this task was filming which I loved. When we started I got everybody in position and made sure what was meant to be in shot was in shot. I zoomed in and focused on who ever was the furthest away from the camera which meant everyone else was in focus. We did one creative shot of the girl tied up. We did a tilt shot which started at her feet and finished on her face but it was probably a bit to slow so I will have to speed it up when we come to edit it. I thought this was a good shot because it set the scene. Over all I thought our scenes were good. We got some nice shots and we had convincing characters.   

Hi, my name is Ned Wakeley and this is my first blog. I am sixteen years old and live in a village outside Stratford-upon-avon. I am a huge fan of films and want to get into the film industry. My favorite film is 'The secret life of bees'.

This ia a PowerPoint I made on the film submerged. We analyzed the mise en scene as well as the camera shots. We also analyzed the Characters.
