Revisions - Changes from story board:

We changed quite alot from our original story board. These changes include deciding to change the ending. Rather than showing the kidnapping and revenge we made our thriller look like it was taking place during a poker game and was based on flashbacks . We also swaped the kidnapping scene for a scene where Joe rips up a picture of chaise and Alex. Originaly we wanted to show Joe burning the picture up to emphasise the anger and batraied feelings he had. However the weather was bad and so we thought the best thing to do was to rip up the picture.

Constructing the production

Production Process: AGGGGGGHH! stressful. Getting used to the camerea was tricky at times and getting certain shots right where hard. We have a wonky shot in one scene and when we were shooting we had placed the tripod on unlevel ground and when we looked back at our work we had realised that was the cause of the wonky shot. Working in a group is quite hard at times with different opinions being made now and then so when we were filming at times we would have discusions about other ideas and opinions. We changed original things from our storyboard because we each would come up with more ideas. However alot of the time i noticed that changing orginal things from our storyboard wasn't helpful and lead to more debates and when working in a group it can be hard to listen to someone or be heard.

Back to planning the production

Organisation of the group: Our group have been organised . However we do need to work on that alot. We haven't been as organised as we should have been.

Use Of Sound: : We have chosen to apply back ground music that is quite upbeat and fast. this is to emphasise the state if mind the gambiler has at this moment in time. It also adds more tension to the thriller .

Use of props , settings and actors: : Locations we used were a local park to give the thriller a realistic look and we also used our schools drama room as i thought it would be effective if we used the lighting for the poker scenes. Our actors were with us when we needed them however at times one would not be able to make it.

Health and Safety risk assessment

These are the things you need to consider when making a production:

1: No filming inappropriate locations
2: Check safety of locations e.g. roads.
3: Minimise risk of theft of equipment
4: When filming on location ensure teacher or responsible adult where you are going , when you return and leave a telephone number incase of incidents .
5: Check all equipment is working before you leave.
6: Ensure you have permission for filming if necessary.
7: Always film with at least one other person
8: Ensure you have the permission of those you are filming.

Possible Locations for thriller

These pictures are possible locations that we as a group have thought about using in our Thriller.

Animatic

This is our animatic. It isn't the best qaulity as we realise we could have croped the pictures ,looked at how long each shot would be and some pictures are not as clear as they could be. We have as a group spoken about changing possible ideas when shooting which we will then record on our blogs. This idea is just a plan that we are going to go by incase we can't decide what to do however we might add more or take out things.
