Health and Safety considerations:

Lighting:
When using either the red heads or the portable lights we must make sure that any waires are taped up and that the lights themselves are on a stable base as so thay do not fall and cause injury. GLoves will be used when handling these lights, especially when they are turned on to avoid buring

Props:
As we are planning to use knives in our film we must make sure that we handle them with care, especially around other people

Trains:
We are going to be filming at a train station so we must take obvious precautions to not endanger ourselves or other people that may be at the station

Synopsis of Thriller opening - David, Chris and Jamie

We want to keep the story of our thriller opening simple, but we also wish to make the veiwer want to carry on watching the rest of the film. We will do this through raising Enigma codes and use of restricted narrative.



The plot of our thriller will be based on a phycotic murderer who is pursuing a victim. We will base this in a village and the targeted victim will be at a train station when the attackes choses to strike. The victim is then taken back to a house where he is gagged and knocked out by the murderer, with the use of knives the killer will kill people from his list of targets. The list is kept in the form of pictures.

The film starts whilst the victim is on the floor of his house, there will then be a flashback and the story will follow from there.

Thriller opening analysis - David Duffy - Criminal Justice




- use of medium shots to clearly show any conversation

- The director uses a two shot so that the viewer can compare the two characters

- Use of layered camera shots, e.g. girl walking behind woman, sense that someone is creeping behind her - also in this shot the woman is surrounded by two characters, perhaps she is being judged

- Mostly medium to medium close up shots, so that we can see emotion on characters faces

- Close ups and extreme close ups of man (protagonist?) in a car - perhaps suggests that he is being trapped, could be used in our thriller opening

- man walks into the light whilst other two characters are in the dark - shows how he represents justice and innocence

- Shallow depth of field whist man is in the car to connote that he is removed from the outside world



Character Types:

- Man wearing darker clothing - carries more authority
- Both women wearing brighter clothes to connote innocence and purity - m could be useful for us to use costume to develop characters for audience

Setting:

- white house - everything is innocent, except for outside - high key lighting to show how things are exposed

Narration:

- Closed narration - when man is in car and there is an extreme close up of him, also use of shallow depth of field to show how things are cut off from the outside of the car

- We can't see what he is writing whilst he is in the car this connotes mystery as as an audience we are curious to see what he is doing - useful for us as it is possible to use with no budget - Open narration - we see everything in medium shot of the kitchen



Binary opposition:

- Not useful in terms of binary opposition, although there is friction between two of the characters there doesn't seem to be any clear opposition

- Also this thriller opening does not use the usual set up, confrontation and resolution so it is not useful to us as there is no clear plot to analyse and there is no linear sequence of events

Sound:
- Mostly just diegetic sound i.e., sound which is created from the actions on screen and not from any music - this sequence not particularly useful in giving us tips for sound
