Final Piece - Opening to a Thriller


Linked from YouTube above is my groups final piece. When thinking of an idea of the film, we each came up with an initial idea and brainstormed them to get a better view of our ideas. Together, we combined each idea and created a story board of what we planned to film, etc. We filmed the footage over a two day period but ensured all lighting and setting was the same in order to maintain it's continuity. The protagonist was myself and the shadow type villain character was Daniel Summers. Jonathon Lovelace had the role of main camera man while Callum Reay was our assistant camera man who filmed in depth discussion and the actual filming of our final piece. (This can be seen elsewhere on the blog). Generally, we were very pleased with our final product and felt the collaboration of each others ideas was essential in making the thriller opening as successful as it was. The sound, lighting, camera angles and shots all worked together to help achieve our objective of understanding the key techniques and conventions needed to construct a typical and successful opening to a thriller film.
