Our Story Board.

We are filming our thriller down a alley way. We feel that this is a good idea because you get a good feel of the atmosphere that we are trying to create.

It will be easy to film down a alley way as there is plenty of room to more and try different angle shots out.

It is also a typical stereotypical sence. The audience will imdently interact with wht is going to happen or what is going to happen.

In the first camera shot we are doing a CLOSE UP shot from behind the first character. We are following the characters footsteps from behind her. We thought it would be a good idea not to revel who the character is to cause tension.

The second camera shot is once again a CLOSE UP shot from behind the second character. Like the first shot we are filming from behind the character and following their footsteps.





We keep CROSS-CUTTING for about four shots. Each shot last between 10 to 20 seconds.

The third shot is a CLOSE UP shot from behind the one of the characters feet (But you can see the other characters feet, so its like a OVER THE SHOULDERS SHOT but the camera is aimed at the  feet instead.) to show them approaching each other.

The fourth shot shows that they are approaching each other. Whilst this is happening the camera is tracking up each of their bodies but not showing their identity. This builds up tension  for the audience as they don't know what is going to happen or what has happened.

The fifth shot is a OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT; both characters have hoods up so yet again it doesn't show their identity. An OVER SHOULDER SHOT is a good shot to use as it shows the first characters POINT OF VIEW.

In the Sixth shot someone raises a gun.
But we don't know which one of the characters has raised it.

In the seventh shot there is an EXCHANGE OF DIALOGUE:
Character one: " Why did you do this too me?
Character Two: "Its too late"
This causes tension because we don't know what has happened between the characters. But will we find out?

In the eighth shot the gun appears again but this time the gun is pulled, but as an audience we don't know who has pulled it so it causes mystery.








 In the ninth shot there is a BLACK OUT, then a BANG followed by a scream.
By having a blackout it causes tension as the audience doesn't know what has happened, or who has died & if they have died?

In the tenth shot there is a picture of a black bag being dragged through the dirt...but who's body is it?
The camera is following the bag but yet again we don't know who is dragging the bag.

In the eleventh shot we do a JUMP SHOT (Causes tension as it takes the spot light of what just happened) to a mystery woman stood in a window looking out at what just happened. She is holding a phone in her hand and says "Police please!" but she says it in a sarcastic way... like she knows something.  

In the twelfth shot the woman that was standing in the window has now turned around (Slowly) and smiles at the camera. This causes tension as the audience really doesn't know what is happening.





          THE END. 

Introduction

We are making an opening sequence for a thriller film for a practise project for AS media. Before we film the opening sequence we are going to plan every detail of the film. We are going to make a storyboard, shooting sequence, plan who will be in the film and what each character will be wearing, the location of the filming, the title of the film, the target age group of the film, the genre, camera shots, possible shooting problems, and finally we will film, and then write our evaluation. In our film we will use different camera shots such as Long shots, Close up shots, Crosscutting shots, Jump shots, Extreme close ups, over the shoulder shots and Eyeline match shots. We will get a soundtrack to put over the filming to create the suspense in the film, and then when we've finished the film we will write the evaluation to talk about what we did well and what we weren't happy about with the filming and planning.

This is a picture of an alleyway. It is similar to the one that we will be filming down. 

By having an alleyway it kind of sets the of a thriller. It shows the audience something bad will happen. 

Our Target Audience

We feel that our target audience should be between the ages of 12 and 15. We feel that this age is a suitable ages as most thrillers are between these ages. 


Reason why films should have an age limit. 


children wont get influenced by the violence of the films whereas older teenagers understand that it isn't like reality. Sometimes it may disturb people. 

Our Movie

We start with two girls walking down a dark alleyway towards each other. we will use a long shot to set the scene, and cross-cut between the two characters walking. we will not show their faces in the shots to keep them anonymous as its a mystery. the two girls walk up to each other and one of them will say 'Why did you do this to me?' there is a moment of silence, and then you see a close up of a gun, and hear a bang and a scream. then, we flash to a shot of a mystery character in a window looking out at the scene. after this, we cut back to the scene in the alleyway and you see a hand dragging a body bag back down the alleyway.
