2nd production meeting

in the 2nd production meeting this was between Aklima & Stephanie where they then put forward the idea of the plot to do with revenge and created a storyline to this thus putting it into a storyboard where they created how each shot would be filmed but also the type of shots they would be what the costumes and props would be. However this is not a finalised idea it's just a rough idea which could be varied or changed as we go to film the open of are thriller.

initial ideas

At first we had thought to set it within a car park due to our first mindset was to film to be on the basis of revenge between once close mates therefore making the fact that revenge is deeper than normal revenge therefore to start of from childhood with them to today. We wanted to film within a car park as it's a open space therefore an attack or plot for revenge could come from anywhere at any moment therefore building more suspense and more to the imagination of the audience.
But within the film will use such shots as low angle or high angle to represent a sense of vulnerability or power the character possesses but also how this switches within the film then within the editing when the argument and disagreement is occurring will use the shot reverse shot to represent the conversation back and forth or the over the shoulder shot. The sound used will be non-digetic to add emphasis to what the setting is within the film therefore uncertainty will use unsettling music to represent the build up and tension to something bad occurring however digetic sound will be which comes from the surroundings to fit more in with it. Miss-en-scene with the props and costumes will include casual to fit just a normal type of outfit as it isn't an event or a special thing furthermore the camera placement within the filming has to be in the aspect to fit with the setting to show the surroundings where the possible threats could or could not come from.

1st production meeting

In are first production meeting was between me and Berke as we was discussing possible locations to film but also the plots which could be accessible to fit within the narrative plots.  After having discussed this we came up with a rough idea to which the plot would be to do with revenge and also a few possible locations it could be filmed at for example a car park as the threat could come from anywhere at any specific time meaning it leaves the imagination to the viewers mind.

How to film a Thriller

conventions which are typical amongst thrillers:

-Point of view shot: to enable us to be able to see what the character is looking at
-long shot: to show the scene where it's set
-high angle shot: to represent vulnerability
-tracking shot: to follow movement
-extreme close up: to show dispense and anxiety
-close up: to focus on a aspect of something
-fast editing: used to add tension
-cross dissolve: used to show quick editing of which someone walked a period of time instead of showing them walking whole way skips from beginning to the end
tilt shot: to represent uncertainty
match on action: cuts between shots on movement.
shot reverse shot: to show him walking through the cave to build tension but also anything could happen at any moment as he gets deeper within the cave
back light: silhouette is used to show a representation of the outline of the person within a black outline which also suggests darkness something bad could happen.
wide angle: to fit surrounding area in but also possible dangers
fast pacing: 2 second per shots to emphasise tension but also keep intrigued.
slow motion: suggests the panic & danger is over.
diagetic sound: breathing heavily natural but also suggests anxiety
deep focus: when your set on a specific object or place or person.
non-diagetic sound: typical music to build up tension slowly dependent upon the setting or where the person is within thriller as outside was birds singing whereas in the cave it's sinister music.]

But within a thriller there is not to much dialogue due to it can destroy the mood to which is trying to be presented but also most people are unable to act when being recorded therefore to anticipate upon a good thriller which can have all the aspects you expect is presented more thoroughly through fast editing & pacing, non diagetic sound but also the surroundings.

SE7EN:

Your able to see a series of breakaways to able to present each of the title sequence of which the occurrence within the background is obliged to the basis of the film therefore it relates not just something random happening. But the font which is used is small & a italic font, also it appears showing all the elements of the title sequence varying all over the screen. the style to which it's presented flickers which suggests a state of uncertainty which is developed within the film. The colour is in white as the background is in black therefore it's corresponding with the setting.

Panic Room:

You see the location and outset to which the film is based which is within a city with loads of tall buildings etc. The font of the writing is Bold and big to let it stand out amongst the surroundings of the massive buildings. Even more so the style of writing sticks out to present that the writing is apart of the buildings etc this adds an effect to show that everything is apart of the surroundings such as actors, music etc. The colour is white therefore showing against the dark background as the buildings block out the sun therefore sense of darkness. 

North by Northwest:

its set within a green background with lines which is a graphic match as it links the lines are represented to then show they are windows of a big building which is then a comparison shown of a reflection of the streets. the writing is presented in a joint way they come from opposite directions the writing is in white which is shown a bold layout
