POS thriller opening!

I have decided to work with the same people I created my preliminary task with! As for one, they are my friends and secondly we all bring different  qualities to our group.


I bring the acting, as I took drama as Gcse and I don't mind being in front of the camera and I know how to work the editing in post-production as well as being creative.


Olivia brings creative ideas as she loves watching horror films and she is very good with the camera as she did the filming in our preliminary task. 


And finally Shannon brings creative ideas and knows how to produce music that will fit the mood and genre.


Together as a group we work well as we don't get offended if we well each other our opinions.
I think working with these two will be great and we will produce a piece of work that will be creative.

Screenplay

 Hey update on where we are!,


We will be starting our task which will determine our final grade, for this, the pre-production work will include us creating a screenplay/script.


When we are writing our screenplay, we will make sure to include:

§  Include location, setting and time of day

§  Introduce key characters and include a short description of who they are/ what they look like

§  Include key dialogue between characters and details of their actions and expressions

§  Include details of where the camera is in each scene

This is an example screenplay:

sources

For our task we need to do research to get ideas and to make sure that we understand the boundaries of our ideas due to them being sensitive to some people.
To make a opening that included a psychopathic girl this could be seen as us discriminating against mental health which we are not doing and no not want to look as if we are.

Lighting

High Key Lighting :                 
 I like this use of lighting because it makes me look more ghost like, by drowning shadows and colours out my face.

Backlighting :






This creates a mysterious effect, by not being able to see my face this builds a tension of 'who is that' .
 I could use this before or to introduce a character.





Natural Lighting:





This natural lighting was too bright, compared to what it should have been.






Artificial Lighting :

Artificial lighting doesn't do much for the genre of thriller as it makes me look quite natural and gives of a theme of normality.

Chiaroscuro Lighting:
This lighting makes me looks scary and goes well with the genre of thriller / horror .

Task Two - Texual analysis using 'Art of the title'

Where we filmed out task.

The room was a store cupboard, which was very dark. We made the room darker by covering the windows so the room was pitch black. We then got a tiny light and used that to give the flickering spotlight effect in our film.

Q6

What I did well:

I think that me as an individual helped the group a lot with the editing as a picked up on it quickly. This helped us speed up the process of editing as I could show Shannon and Olivia how to do the editing. I also did the titles on our short film, this made the presentation look better and emphasized the film. Overall we worked as a team on this short film so it is hard to individually pick out what we did well. As we all helped and added ideas into our film.
