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.

Title Sequence Analysis - Taxi Driver - David Duffy













































- Opening shot is taxi driving through the smoke - provides early enigma eg, who is in the taxi and why is the car significant in the film.


- The use of smoke also suggests that the driver has something to hide


- The colours of the titles are yellow - relates directly to the actual taxi, film maker has used low key lighting for much of the sequnece to help create the dark and sinister atmosphere - also the use of red lighting when we see extreme close ups on drivers face suggests that the driver is a dangerous or angry man




- Enigma is created through the use of restricted narration as there are many extreme close ups of the drivers eyes which stop the veiwer from seeing the rest of the scene




- Also extreme close ups are usually designed to unerve the veiwer, being so close to someones eyes may seem disturbing to some people



- There is also a use of depth of field to create enigma as the veiw out of the car window is not useful for the veiwer as everything outside is blured and out of focus - this perhapes shows the drivers isolation from the rest of the world. This is useful for our sequence as we have planned to use different depths of field in our opening to create suspense. Also the question of where the setting actually is comes to mind when watching this sequence
