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.

preliminary task

I am happy with our attempt of our preliminary excersise as we found it quite challageing at first when we started shooting for the first time. We reshot our excersise and managed to work around the things we had done wrong. At first i took ages to walk in and so we had to work around that. We havent editited that particular bit for some reason but we can see where we went wrong. Also we noticed that the camera was held wonkey so we need to work on being steady with the cameras. I think our excersise is quite jumpy but considering it was our first time with the cameras me and my group are happy with it.

Getting used to the cameras

To get used to the cameras we did a short exercise. We looked at the different kinds of shots we could include for example over the shoulder shot. Using the camera for the first time wasn’t easy but it did help us develop our skills of using the camera.My group found the exercise quite hard and we didn’t do as well as we could have. In a way this is good because it will help us in future. At the moment we are editing our short scene and then we will post it onto our blogs.

Target Audiance and Storyboard

We decided that we should aim our film to 15 +. This is because we think that the theme is suitable for that age range. We agreed that the age range is suitable for teenagers.
We also started on our storyboard and whilst drawing it came up ideas we could include in out film for example we spoke about maybe having a point of view shot throughout.

Further ideas

Our group have decided to stick with the Gambling idea.

We thought about our plot which is about two men . Both are in love with the same woman and their game of poker is not just a game of poker. It is a battle to compete for the woman they love. We came up with the name 'Gambling With The Enemy'. The plot will be based on a poker game and near the end of our two minutes you will see who has won and how the loser of the game feels which will lead to revenge. This is to help set up what would be the rest of the film. Then we thought about characters, props , costumes and lighting. and we spoke about people we could include in our film. For the opening we thought about credits , Focus on the mens faces and the title
