Our thriller title

Filming shots

This is some pictures of our group filming the thriller opening. The two locations shown in the pictures are the main two places that our thriller takes place, in the country park as well as the woods. The pictures also show the basic outline to what will happen in our thriller. On the day of filming it  was very windy therefore not being able to pick up the natural sound that we thought we would have recorded. Therefore we decided to put a soundtrack over the top of the filming that we did on that particular day.

Characters

Below are the actors that are going to be used in our thriller opening. The first actor is called Vicky which plays the part of the innocent girl that is getting chased by the stalker, we chose Vicky as she has had experience with acting before and would suit the role best.

The stalker is played by myself, I volunteered to play as this character because it didn't really matter what the stalker looked like as he would wear a mask and be dressed in mostly dark clothes.

Storyboard

This is our groups storyboard that me and our group made this will help us establish what shots and the basic plot of our thriller. It will also tell us the actors and sounds used in that scene, so when we come to film it this will make it easier and simpler.

Logo

 

This is our groups logo, the letters HGMC stand for the first letter from everyone in the groups first name. We choose the Eccentric Std font because it looked as if it would be used in a thriller production team. We chose the simple colours of black and white because if we had used bright colours this wouldn't fit the part of a thriller production team and would probably look more like a comedy. 

Thriller plot

A girl goes out for a run when she receives a picture message of herself running from an unknown number. The girl panics and looks around looking for the mysterious person who took the photo, she sees a figure in the distance which disappears and keeps getting closer and closer, the girl then sprints away from the masked figure, the figure suddenly appears in front of her and she blacks out. The girl wakes up suddenly, it was all just a dream, or so she thinks, the girl goes to her window to get some fresh air when she sees the masked figure stood under a streetlight outside her house.

Heat, Shutter Island, Insomnia, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Fallen, Psycho,Vertigo, Taken, Shadow Of a Doubt,The Exorcist, The Shining, Sin City

Looking at all the different previous thriller titles, they all are very short and simple and leave a question on the viewers minds that will be later answered in the film. From looking at the previous thriller titles this has helped and inspired us to decide the title of our thriller. Our title of our thriller will have all these qualities included in the title.

This photo was taken in the lesson when we were planning our thriller, for example we needed to know what actors, sets and props we would need for our thriller.
