Lists of props, costumes and locations

This is a Mid shot of the room were the thriller opening sequence will mainly be based, as you can see there is a table were the main character is sat at the start of the thriller opening sequence, here he looks out his window to take notes on the people that walk past.

This shot is of the rest of the room which will be used as the main location in the thriller opening sequence, as you can see there is a door which allows the rest of the front room to be accessed if needed. 

This is the hall way of the house, this location will be used at the end of the thriller opening sequence when the main character (Stevie) crawls into the hall way to look at the front door.

This is a long shot of the front of the house, this location is used when the hoodies are outside and also when the business man walks past, as you can see there is the window which the main character (Stevie) looks out of, this allows the audience to see what the characters see when they walk past Stevie's house.

This is a shot of the front door of the owners house, this location will be used at the end of the sequence when the hoodies walk up towards the door and the protagonist Stevie takes a picture.

This is a prop of a piece of paper and a pen these props will be used in the thriller opening sequence when the protagonist Stevie takes notes of the man in the suit who walks past his house, this prop is key because it allows the audience to see what he' like around the public.

This prop is of a kitchen knife, this prop is used to show how paranoid he is about other people and he uses the prop to defend himself even though he is perfectly safe.

This is a prop of a mug, this prop has been chosen and will be in the opening sequence because it shows that he's paranoid because he constantly drinks coffee out this mug.

This is the clothing which the protagonist Stevie wears, he wears this costume through out the sequence this shows that he doesn't take care of himself because he doesn't change his clothes

These are the hoodies which the teenagers will be wearing when they are shown in the sequence, as a group we choose these costumes because they are stereotypically shown as the things which teenagers wear.

This is the costume for the business man who walks past Stevie's house at the start of the thriller opening sequence, as a group we choose this costume because it is smart and it is what a typical business man wears.

Casting

  
This is a video of the casting, in this video each of the actors which perform in the thriller opening sequence talk about their character's and what their characters do in the opening sequence. This video allowed us to work out who played what character because before we recorded the video we had a discussion about who should play the correct character.

Location permission

To film our thriller opening sequence we had to create this letter saying that if it's ok to film on the owners property, as you can see the owner signed the form so we are allowed to film on their property.

Titles

  

This is a video for my groups titles which will be included in our thriller opening sequence, the titles consist of the actors names, for instance the main character is played by Michael clack and some of the other actors are Daniel dawkins, Joe ventham, Robbie pople. The titles also contains the names of crew members which help make this opening sequence, for example it was directed by Robbie pople and Michael clack. 

Shooting schedule

This is a image of the shooting schedule for our thriller opening sequence, as you can see we have planned our times when we want to film, this sheet helped us to plan because it allowed us to plan our shooting days and also the times in which we need to shoot in those days.

Animatic

With our animatic it allows us as a group to see what the opening sequence will look like visually. with our feedback we got given, the majority was based on the titles. we got told that the three main pieces of feedback for the titles is that we should think about the placing of the titles, the names of people involved in the titles and the choice of the music.

Another piece of feedback was to do with the placing of the shots for the opening sequence we will have to discuss and decide about the placing of the titles which will be in the opening sequence. As a group we will have to get a good understanding of our shots so we can place our titles in the correct place.

For the people who are involved in the opening sequence, the titles we will have to be changed for some peoples names as they are shown much more frequently then other names, this might lead to us having to make up a name too often this will mean making up a name. 

For the choice of the music which will be included in the opening sequence, we had a discussion about what music should and shouldn't be included in the opening sequence, we looked at everyone's music and discussed which one's were good and which one's weren't as good to use for the genre of a thriller.

Script

Storyboards

This is a image of my first story board which has been filled in by five shots which will be included in the thriller opening sequence, we have done a story board because it allows us to get a visual image in to what our opening sequence will be like also it allows us to check to see if any shots aren't good enough our don't fit with the sequence. Also with these storyboards it has allowed us to change our idea for our sequence; before the sequence plot wasn't that realistic and if trying to look at it visually it was quiet difficult, now we've changed it it's much more easier to visualize.    

This is the second page for our storyboards, this page is also filled in with five shots which will be used in our sequence, with these shots on this page of the storyboard it allowed us as a group to show the audience the main character which is in the thriller opening sequence, with the ideas for the shots we had a initial idea of what we wanted but it was to difficult to actually perform and visualize so the storyboard allowed us to change our shots so it was more easier to perform and visualize.

These are two more storyboards which show the middle section of the thriller opening sequence, whilst using the storyboards it helped us to decide what shots would look best for our sequence so by drawing the shots out onto the storyboards it helped us to choose the best possible shots which created the most effect for our audience.






















These are the storyboards for the ending of the thriller opening sequence, these storyboards helped us to decide and choose the best possible shots which will make our thriller opening sequence the best which it can be and to also to get the best possible mark.
