back to school

Just a quick message to say that lucy and i made loads of progress in yesterdays media lesson!
Firstly we have drawn out our draft storyboard which currently lucy is transferring onto the real thing...well done u! We also conducted the props list and character profiles and now if they agree (fingers crossed) have the actors/actresses to act in the thriller and decided on all of the locations needed to film our production.
So now all we need to do is fill out the shots sheet n then we're ready to start filming! yay!

This is my baby 'willow' hu as u can c is so gona help us get an A :) hehe n will kick arse in the acting skills!

Catch up

Hey every1! havnt posted anything 4 a lil while so thort i'd fill u in on the l8test happenings of our production.
1. We've produced a questionnaire to hand out for our research to find out more about the target audience and the best things to include in our film. these are currently being filled out n we will post the results as as soon as we hav them all bk.
2. Finally decided on our final idea; combining some of the previous ideas of the woman walking the dog and being watched but she picks up an object tht gives her flashbacks into a dark room, pan of the room to see lots of sharp, dangerous objects. unknown person (adds mystery) taking pictures of her, noises fit with editing n then bk to present time when she hears a picture being taken and rustling of the bushes....
Only rough outline as emma or lucy have the actual details tht we wrote out.

Havnt got any finalised ideas for actors yet but i was thinkin of my friend from out of skool so then ppl wont b familiar with her, knowin she jus an actor to make it more realistic, she can also drive which will hope with travel plans to the locations.
Altho we do hav one definite actor....my gawjus baby tht is my dog! willow, the star obviously!

possible location

here are some pics of Stanton Church which is one of our choices for the location of our thriller. Its in ruins so makes the atmosphere more spooooooooooky suitable for this genre, especially at dusk which is when we're planning to film.

thoughts on this please! kim

Finally posting a blog!

At last our group has got our blog going.
We've decided to go for the theme of someone being watched, these are some of our ideas:

1. a woman walking her dog through an abandoned church she goes to find something to chuck for her dog. as she picks it up she has a flashback. goes back to the first scene. she hears something in the bushes and keeps walking as she walks she see's something in thr distance. her dog starts barking and she gets murdered.

2. a couple walks through woodlands and stops for a picnic. one of them hurts themselves so their partner goes to get help. they feel like there being watched and followed. this turns into a chase throigh the woodland. a few small fight scenes between characters untill the victum finally escapes and runs into the road. is possible she could get hit by a car.

3. the nbext one is kind of similar to the 1st one. weve just added some bits to it to make it better =].
woman being watched from bushes someone is taking pictures of he/she. flash noises from cameracuts to black and white photo's of dead woman. cross cutting first scene and more photos untill the woman is murdered [[in the laying position that was killed in.]]
.



so yeah leave us some comments, if you think we should change anything tell us.
