our animatic

here is a rough example of our storyboard as an animatic

Planning

For our filming we will need a camera, costumes, fake blood...
We will need to film at various different locations so we get the best effects. Such as in the media studio, in a cafe and in a forest. Most of this can be done on the Long Road site.
We are not going to film at the weekends as many of us have work. However we are going to film as much as possible during the lessons and after college.
Costumes will need to be everyday clothing (except for the joggers) and victims clothing will be ripped and blood stained.
Props will need to be fake blood, water bottle, knives/weapons, mobile phone, cafe props e.g. bill...

Analysis of students sequence called 'the reckoning'

This sequence used alot of good techniques to make it seem professional and it fitted in with the thriller theme.
one of its strongest points was the music, as the fast pace helped to create tension and add to the action.it slowly speeds up and is differnent to other thrillers as it doesnt try and make the clip to sinister it compliments the action and looks similar to something u may find in a spy thriller a bit like james bond.
The different camera angles where some came from underneath or very close up added interest and let the audiance see things in detail from differnt angles. The way that you cant fully see everthing as it is in black and white adds intrege.
The shaky camera work made it seem frantic amd obvious tht there is some sort of chase and the whole sequence helps to set the scene and gives some indication of what this film is going to be like. you are also introduced to the characters and can see what role they may play in the film. eg boy in suit seems to be an important character but u are not sure if he is the villian or hero just yet.
night vision effect makes it seem spooky and gives the feeling that they are being watched perhaps on cctv.

ellie and sophie.m

Ideas for opening sequenece:
Sound: Heart beat; beating and long beeping of heart moniter when the person has stop beating. Fades into music.

Scenes: Starting from the end going into the begining, someone lieing dead camera slowing panning from feet to head of the body, showing any injuriges. Flash backs of past showing suspects that have been in her normal day life within that day. e.i peson bumping into her. Suspects are the other three main charcters in the main film. going from her being dead to being alive in a normal day life sequence.

Analysis of surface opening sequence

Analysis of surface:

good use of spooky graphics eg blood effects
close ups and shakey effects made it more realisic and mysterious.

titles and music worked well and was definitly obvious that it was the opening credits of a thriller.

critism: was a little too long
slightly boring as there wasnt much change didnt build up much tension as it didnt give or start any kind of plot.
