This is the storyboard which i have done tonight showing each particular shot in a much detail as i can as my drawing skills have a failed me

Music and sound effects

I found a few good sound effects which come may come in use when editing. http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/pir/PIRsfx.shtml and http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html?genre=Horror
one of the sound that seems good s a piece of music called 'one of them' and 'long not 4' which seems to fit our filminf but need to discuss as a group at a later date.

storyboard

Today we discussed our story and the shot that need to take place, which has changed slightly.
I will be putting up the new storyboard and shots in detail tomorrow.
Today we focused on what shot we will be doing tomorrow which is depended on who turns up.
The first part of our scene takes place in the medical room and we have asked to hire it for tomorrow for 5th period as this is excellent set up for the first 2-3 mins of our film.
We also talked about the last 2 mins of our film and how we will be shooting it and what we expect it to look like which has changed from the first storyboard we did. I will put up details of this later.
If not all of the group is here tomorrow we will be shooting the last 2 mins of our film which consist of myself and will take place in the bungalow.

I have been looking at codes and techniques that are used in psychological thrillers in order to improve our clip. I have noticed the use of quick cuts between shots are used, extreme close ups are also used and lots of different camera angles are used. We are going to include some of these in our clip. Editing is also a key factor that creates the suspence and implies the thriller genre, jus as sound is also used. We are going to have a thriller sound effect throughout our piece.

13th March

We are starting to film on Tuesday as it tend to be the only time servut,Jarry and myself are free todo filming outside of lesson time. We are going to book the medical room for our filming as it tend to be a good enviroment to set out scene.

Story Board

Product Research

I chose to study Stanley Kubrick's film 'The Shining', for my product research. I thought it was a great example to use, made in the 1980's the film's opening was gripping for the audience of even the 21st century, therefore I thought that this was a great example to use. From watching the opening scene of The Shining I realised that for our thriller we need a gripping scene that can be enigmatic, so that not only the audience right now but even the audience who watch it after ten years would understand it hence it needs to capture a relative topic that is universal. The title sequence was shown throughout the opening scene which gave it a ore of a thriller look, as the audience would want to see the whole image rather than writing covering some of the image, therefore this was enigmatic for us. Another good technique was portrayed through the opening shot which was taken from an aerial view this made the audience feel more powerful, as they were in control of the situation. Similarly the next shot was a trailer shot where the camera was following the car, this was enigmatic for the audience as we wanted to know what was in the car? who was driving it? and more importantly why are we following it? Another technique that was interesting was the camera was tilted at an angle which made the audience again curious of the situation. The opening scene ends when they finally reach a destination point, this is typical of thriller genre as the film began on a normal day, and now we can see the narrative will develop. Kubrick used the sound as the main technique to help us interact with the film, it began with a non diegtic dis chord and lead on to it getting louder as the scene progresses. I feel this technique had a big impact on me as it suited the mise en scene and as a result it was enigmatic. Therefore I feel that the sound at the beginning of our thriller should be well chose, as sometimes the dialogue can ruin the beginning because it isn't as enigmatic as having or having a cacophony. However I can see that if filming outside then lighting may be a problem because we will either have to fill everything in one day or have very similar lighting various days we film. However I feel that the bird eye view shot was a well developed shot as it allowed the shot to be established, I think this will be a helpful technique in the opening o the thriller to use.
