Analysis of Preliminary
Analysis of Preliminary
My preliminary task was done for me to get the feel of how to use a camera and how to use the shots that we have studied in class. Our preliminary had to involve a certain numbers of things, such as a match on action shot, someone entering through a door and sitting on a chair, a shot-reverse-shot, a 180 degree shot as well as dialouge.
Our preliminary consisted of Lewie entering a room through a door and sitting down opposite claudia, a friend that offered to thelp us with our task. lewie sat down and they exchanged a few lines of dialogue then talked and buying and selling stuff. They then gave each other something and pocketed it, then lewie got up and left the room through the same door he entered. I was using the camera to catch all the neccassary shots that were required.
To make sure that we did this correctly we did this in several differents rooms around the school, the first 2 did not have what we needed, when we had finally found a room that had everything we needed, we took a few takes of the film so that we could use the best parts and so i could get the camera shots and angels all right.
When were had finished and confident that we had meet the criteria needed for our preliminary, we handed the tape in to our teacher, ready to take on the task of our 2 minute opening film for a thriller .

Planning of Location and Characters
Location and Characters
For my main task, i have decided to add a chase scene in as majority of the 2 minutes.
I have had to look round and find the right place for the chase scene's. I have decided to do it down several ally ways i Hitchin. I think the alley ways will give a good sense of being trapped and no where to run, this feel will interest people to keep watching. The time of day we will film will be around dusk, so that the lighting will be dim, but not too dim that you cant make stuff out, also down the alley there are several lampost's that will give off good lighting. Characters will not need to be that specific, the other person in my group will be the actors in it, and if we need more actors we can find other people too assist in our film.

Sub Genres of a Thriller
On this post i wll go through the sub genres of thrillers and give a brief description of them.
Action thriller: In which the work often features a race against the clock, contains lots of violence, and an obvious antagonist. These films usually contain large amounts of guns, explosions, and large elaborate set pieces for the action to take place.
