Locations For Our Thriller

These are just some images of locations for where our opening scene for our Thriller could take place. These are just rough ideas to help us.

Thriller location pitch.

We met up during the holidays, and discussed possible locations where we could shoot the thriller opening.
Together in one of our meetings we put together a mind map of ideas.

StoryBoard

In lesson time, we created and analysed a clip from Dirty Harry, and recreated our own. Here is the original frames from the movie with our annotation.

This helped us know how to put together a storyboard

History Of Thrillers.

BBFC (To be made in a creative way?)

BBFC stands for the "British Board of Film Classification" and their role is to decide what films go into the right classification which is appropriate for audiences to watch. The classifications that films can be put into are:

• U - Stands for Universal, suitable for all ages, from age 4 upwards. These are films that have more positive morals compared to a film which is full of horror or violence. 
• PG - Stands for Parental Guidance, children aged 8 and above, however, parents are advised if the content within the PG will upset younger or more sensitive children. 
• 12/12A - For children aged 12 and above may view the film, some parts of the film may upset children under the age of 12 years. A child under the aged of 12 may not see a 12A unless accompanied by an adult. 
• 15 - ages 15 and above, no younger, within the film there may be horror features, strong threats and menace within the films, inappropriate language may be used, nudity/sex may also be used but not strong content of it. 
• 18 - ages 18 and above ONLY, very high strong content of nudity/sex scenes, drugs, violence/horror, discrimination. 

Thrillers are normally classified as a 15 or 18. This is due to the content within them as some have high levels of violence, sex, language and may be disturbing to those under the age limit however, it cannot contain sexual images or a great amount of pain. Thrillers are normally aimed at older people and more towards men as thrillers have a high level of action and violence. 

Iconic Directors.

We creatively came up with the idea of finger puppets. :) Enjoy.

Research and the Animatic.

Max: Lighting
Ashleigh: Script
Chloe: Editing
Nicole: Storyboard

For this lesson we were assigned research to do in order to cover all aspects of making a film.
Chloe originally was doing the editing but after this lesson she had to be part of another group. When it came to actually editing the final piece together, Nicole and Ashleigh edited the final piece.

Group Plan

We decided to split up the work that we will be doing in our group. It is as follows:
Chloe: Intro- summary, what is a thriller (story/theme/mood)
Nicole: Sub-Genres  of thriller (explain differences)
Max: Key films and why  - plot, characters & themes.
Ashleigh: Conclusion - how the thriller has developed over the decades. (stories, themes, characters)
