Bit of an insight into the first shots.

Hey guys, I thought id give you a bit of a insight into how our production of Nocturnal is going, not a lot though.. don't want to give too much away. The second day of filming gave my group chance to go out in the environment and capture some great shots for the first few clips of the opening. We walked a few miles to a woods not far from Charlie's house. Sav held the camera in her hands all the way there creating the clips to have a thrill affect. We believe this will look great when editing it, we are planning on putting a camera roll audio affect on the clip and when the clip stops and flows onto the next, we are hoping to put a sound affect of the camera cutting out to make it look more thrilling. The editing of the clips should be black and white and gloomy as we want to get a worrying affect out to the audience. We are hoping to shoot some more shots soon, so I will keep you updated if all editing goes well. Thank you bloggers, talk soon. :)

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

When being in a open area, there will be many dangers and cautions we will need to look out for to prevent any occurrences before they happen. As we are going through our planning and researching stage of our production; we need to be organised meaning the risk assessment is a big must whilst being in this section of the project. The risk assessment is a structured process of evaluating the potential risks that may be involved in a projected activity or undertaking. This will be very important within this certain production as we are filming a thriller meaning more risks may occur to get the correct effect for the film e.g. some parts of the project will have to be shot in dark as it gives the thriller the right backdrop. Although, in dark conditions, more hazards will occur meaning we will have to be extra cautious. This assessment is a guide to mine and my groups safety meaning it is a very important factor of the researching and planning of the production. Most of the precautions are very dramatic but we needed to be open to all ideas of the risks which could happen to us whilst filming outside and inside for our production.

 

Being the examiner

Bonjour guys,
yes I know I am not an examiner but I thought I would try it out for a day... sad I know lol. Well within my lesson, we was given different videos to watch and a mark scheme with an aim to mark the different thrillers. I watched the productions and made a verdict on what grade they should of been awarded. Within my class, we awarded the thrillers much lower than the grade they actually was given. This was a surprise to us all and made us much confident on the grade we may get when producing our own film.


When given a level 4 (the highest grade) these are some of the aims the examiners are expected to see:

• material appropriate for the target audience task
• using titles appropriately according to institutional conventions
• using sound with images and editing appropriately for the tasks set
• shooting material appropaite to the task set, including controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, vartiety of shot distance and close attention to mise-en-scene

some examples of the videos we had to mark our listed below:

We awarded this clip the same grade that it was given, this was because the sound effects was at a high standard and so was he images. Also the material given within the production was appropriate meaning the audience was gripped to the storyline. This was a great piece.


This different clip wasn't up to the same standard  that the level 4 production was. The clip was still awarded a high mark which was surprising as it didn't have the best shots, control of camera or sound and images. This clip was awarded a level 2

How to make a thriller

Hey guys, 
as I am planning and producing a horror movie within my media course, I am researching as much information on how to create the best highlights and shots I can within my film. I found this video on YouTube very helpful to find the different effects I can use.
I will be uploading different secondary sources e.g. websites and YouTube videos to help me with my production.

What is a screenplay?

What is a screenplay?

This is a script which is written before producing the film. The actions, movements, expressions and the dialogue of the characters is the production. They have much more detail than a normal script and give more of a clue to what the film will look like and how it will be filmed.

As the script is filled with information; it's hard for the screenplay to include the correct facts it will need. This is why the script is structured in a special way and the text font is structured, for the text to fit on the page where its enough for one minutes worth of speech.


We looked at the screenplay for  'Jaws' the thriller.
This is where we looked at the different sections of the
script; including the actions, atmosphere, dialogue and
the camera shots. This is where the actors will know the
 expressions they will need to give in certain situations.
The screenplay just gives the producers an idea of
what the film will look like before they shoot the
 certain scenes. The structure of this script has the
numbers of the scenes on the side with the basic
information through the middle of the page. It also has
 the draft idea of what the characters will say.

Thrilling Opening- Initial Ideas

The Plan:

It will start off with an opening scene of an establishing shot involving the log cabin in a creepy wooded area. Then the camera will cut to inside the cabin filming all the girls having night in drinking wine, eating pizza and having a gossip. There will be music playing in the background and general chats between the different individuals.

Suddenly, someone will receive a phone call where its dead silent. They walk outside the log cabin to try and get a better signal but they cut off. A friend suddenly jumps out on the victim and scares them; they then have a laugh and the individual proceeds to go and have a wee. They suddenly hear another rustle behind them and a black figure grabs their face and mouth and drags them away into the night. The title then appears on a black screen with a loud, screaming noise.
