Editing

We have filmed within our Thriller, the first couple of scenes , such as the motorbike, driving down the road, and arriving on to the drive, also stalking the house, and the flicker cellar light and chopping the meat, at the moment we have edited the cuts a transitions between scenes. Also put sounds such as heat beat where the camera looks from an eye view point of the house.

First Draft Story Borad

This is our first draft of the story board to show a rough idea of how our filming is planning out.

Thriller "Flicker"

Our group that i am in, including Paul Kelly and James Greensmith  who are filming our thriller have decided on the name "Flicker" This is because it gives the affect to the audience a sense of mystery and danger. Also The imagery of a flickering light shows a sense of how something isn't right and builds tension toward  an event.

Preliminary Task

As two split groups in our media class for AS we were asked to but a few minutes of this clip together to film it using the camera and tripod and taking different shots such as over shoulder and long shots. After filming we all got our first feel on how to edit and edited this clip our selves.

Most popular and well known actors associated with thrillers

Bruce Wills: a Well known actor mainly knows through the successful movies  Die Hard and other thrillers such as psychological thrillers and an example would be The Sixth Sense. This has effected me and the way that i will plan my Thriller for example, whether i go for more of an action thriller such as Die Hard or a more psychological thriller such as The Sixth Sense. This has also shown how crucial it is that i have a strong and good cast to which act in my thriller as it adds another dimension to my thriller.

This type of age group are always looking for something different within a thriller film, however classic motives are always popular. I will understand more about what my audience is looking for once my questionaire  have all been completed and will later be up loaded.
