RESEARCH AND PLANNING
1.
Explain how the treatment for
your film fulfils the conventions of the thriller genre?
My
treatment shows what has happened in the end but then cuts to reality and how
it all started. The audience is left to suspense to think what has happened and
what will happen.
2.
Do you intend to challenge
the conventions in any way?
Not
dramatically, but in some ways.
3.
Which real media texts do you
think have influenced your creative choices regarding narrative?
The beginning of ‘The Road’, by how
there is a flash back with happiness and sadness. But I will do that in the
opposite way and have the sad bit of the movie to show first to the audience
and the have the title which will lead to the happiness.
And,
I have got this idea for m film from
‘Shifty’ and how he has his main problem and his life.
4.
Have you been inspired by the
opening title sequences of other real media texts?
The
Road and Shifty.
5.
As an institution, what kind
of film company do you see yourselves as?
We
see ourselves as a small independent (British) film company that specializes
in thrillers.
6.
Who is your intended
audience?
The
age of our intended audience is 15-25, however, due to the large amount of
sub-genres, i guess the film will attract younger and older ages.
7.
How might that effect
distribution and box office takings?
I
think it will be a success to box office takings due to the fact that this age
group are the most popular age for cinema tickets.
8.
What technical skills do you
think will be improved by the making of this film?
Editing
skills. The film contains endless shots and musical effects of various lengths.
Our
camera skills. There are a large amount of different locations such as: the
forest, houses, rooms, streets, shops and many more...
9.
What difficulties do you
envisage?
The
main difficulties I think we will face is the length of the clips we should
have and possibly the correct locations. We don’t know yet where we could film
for the house location because we need quite a modern kitchen to film in.
10.
Explain how camera angles and
editing will help you create tension and what your intended effect on the
audience might be?
Sometimes
camera angles and editing give a movie that magic touch and creates a
attraction for the audience. We will be using a range of different camera
angles, such as: close ups, panning shots, medium shots, moving shots, high/low
angles, really close up shots (eyes fill the screen). The really close up shots
are quite common in thriller movies, to show the detail of the facial
expression the actor is trying to show.
