Raining!!

 

This afternoon we hoped to go out and film the beginning of our video. However it began to rain and become quite heavy in which we realised it wasn't suitable as the cameras will get wet and the location will be extremely muddy and not the correct conditions for the filming to be done.

 

We learned from our mistake of not checking the weather forcast and we will make sure for our next filming day that we check the weather.

 

 

 

Storyboarding

Liam is Story boarding so that when we go out on to the set we don't have to think about what shots and what things we will be filming as we have a plan. This helps us save time when on set as we know exactly what we are doing.

Storyboard

This is our first storyboard, showing the first 4 scenes of the opening. This explains us using shots such as  high angle shot, medium shot and establishing shots, these will enable us to set the scene of the thriller.

Hard at work

Here we have Liam working on our storyboards, putting in the shot and angle of the camera in this shot. We also put the different movements and what sort of actions will be happening in each shot. These will be saved so we can look at them when producing our film.

Final storyline

This is our final storyline, this helps us when storyboarding as we can see what the overall conclusion of the film will be so we can have more ideas to put into our initial opening of the thriller and not to show to much about the film for us to keep the audience captured.

Thriller story

This is a draft of our whole story of the thriller showing that we have a full idea of what will happen during the full film.

First Draft

Here we planned out the things in which we would want in our speech over the video. This was just a draft as we put down all the ideas in our head onto this piece of paper but then remembered different things in which would sound better.

Titles

 

Here We sat in a Group and all thought of a Title in which we believed suited the film, we then all talked about why we thought each title was good for the piece. We then narrowed it down to two titles: the unknown and Marshlands. We then looked at positives and negatives to each of the titles and to know what each one was about.

 

Overall we all decided on the Title of Marshlands, This is as it matches in with our location and also we believed that the sound of marshlands was more catchy and sounded more like a thriller.

Top 5 thrillers

 

 

Here I looked at the most popular thriller films, this gave us an insight into what type of thriller sells the best so we could put this into our planning so that our thriller would be suitable for a wide range of audience. This also gave us ideas as these thrillers must be exciting and enthusiastic as they are in the top 5 so we could take ideas to make out thriller more engaging.

Location-Darley dale

here we went to a location in which we believed would be good for the setting of a horror film. we took photos to help us understand at what part of the filming we want what and to keep our mind refreshed about the location so we can make up a storyline. We mostly used long shots so we could give other people in the group and audience a view and establishing shot of where the film will be set, and how it will help gain our atmosphere.

Practicing of the titles

here we looked at different ways in which we could use as the title and the different effects to help show the audience this is a thriller.

questions in which we asked to gain more insight into peoples opinions on thrillers.

when we was thinking about starting to plan our thriller we wanted to get some advice from different ages and backgrounds. This will help us hit our target audience with things in which we would like to put into our thriller as we asked them questions in which gave us an insight into the kind of thriller different ages preferred. the questions in which we asked are:

how old are you?

do you like thrillers?

what would you expect in the opening of a thriller?

whats your favourite thriller?

Location

When we first began looking into where our thriller can be filmed we all picked a place in which we thought it would be suitable for our storyline. We then all sat in a group and picked apart the locations by putting a negative and positive point for each location. This is a photo of my Points. We then all agreed to have the filming done at Darley Dale.
