To do this effectively we have used 'de-saturation' on all of our cctv shots to show a clear distinction between a cctv and a normal shot. We also added 'noise' and 'vignette' to distinguish clearly when it is a cctv shot.<br />
We used text captions and added layers to display a moving time along side the shots. This made the shot look more realistic as a CCTV shot, so upon viewing the audience will have a clear understanding of what is going on.<br />
When creating and editing our music to fit the sound track, we decided to make the music quite up-beat and bouncy. Although the contents of the filming was quite dark, we decided the contrast was quite effective. This is therefore why we decided to incorporate contrapuntal music.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821187473694550267.post-47653975524571926442011-03-18T02:33:00.000-07:002011-03-21T04:15:27.515-07:00changes made to our thrillerwe decided to change the order in which we displayed some of our shots. Originally we had chosen to begin the film with a CCTV shot zooming towards a dead body. However due to not updating our storyboard efficiently we forgot to do this on the day of filming, as this idea was only posted on the blog which we could not view from the filming location.<br />
Our aim by changing the order of some of our shots was to make the storyline clearer to the viewer.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821187473694550267.post-72288213578675400072011-03-14T05:11:00.000-07:002011-03-14T05:11:16.307-07:00After viewing our responses to the opening, there are a few things we will be looking to change.<br />
We need to finish editing certain clips to give a consistant effect where needed such as our CCTV.<br />
Also we will look to decrease the volume of diagetic sound, thus making our music more over-powering.<br />
We will try to fit the music more to the visuals. This will make the scene more easy to follow and help to build suspense effectively. Such as dropping the beats of the music and editing the clips to fit it.<br />
We will also make credits for our video and add a title.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821187473694550267.post-77751617720393731522011-03-14T04:49:00.000-07:002011-03-14T04:49:05.429-07:00Rough cut feedbackGroup 62 <br />
The camera angles and shots were really good, such as the hand held effect looked good and the editing was well done and the effects were good as you could tell it was CCTV due to the misty edges. However, there were not credits, production logo and title, which you will need to add.<br />
not all of the music went with the action, the diagetic sound sometimes over rides the clip for example the wind.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821187473694550267.post-54089322932914326702011-03-14T04:40:00.000-07:002011-03-14T04:40:07.001-07:00GROUP 63We thought the music choice was good and fitted the video well. We see the protagonist in peril and we see the antagonist being evil. we believe that you need to improve the storyline as it is not clear whats hapenning and this can be confusing.

The sound tends to involve tense music and special effect sounds.<br />
<br />
Music:<br />
<br />
Typically, the music used will start with a slow tempo and fairly quiet, as the opening scene progresses the music will normally gradually get louder and faster paced. Reasons for this are due to the fact that typical thrillers will usually give the viewer an insight to the action that will occur throughout the thriller in the opening sequence: This is the case for most thrillers. However, crime and action thrillers tend to have a faster paced start that psycological thrillers. The music will have to suit the mood and the tempo of the acting. For example a crime thriller will usually show the build up to the crime and maybe the start, however a typical convention would be to not show the whole crime, as this will be shown later in the film, in contrast: Another typical convention would be to show the murder and maybe use the rest of the film for investigation and solving the murder. Therefore, he music used in the opening sequence will have to keep the audience engaged and interested.<br />
<br />
As part of our research, I will be analysing various opening sequences of thriller movies and stating why I think that the music and sound effects have been used.<br />
<br />
Resevoir Dogs:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgeglover/5455818904/" title="Reservoir_Dogs_Game_PS2_Front_Cover by G-Lover!!, on Flickr"><img alt="Reservoir_Dogs_Game_PS2_Front_Cover" height="313" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5171/5455818904_f6a9795f63.jpg" width="256" /></a><br />
<br />
This film is set around the 70's. The first 8 minutes of the opening scene shows a group of middle aged and older men having a conversation in a cafe. After this they all leave the cafe together, as the music starts we see them all walking down a back street (the majority wearing black suits and sunglasses). They walk down the street in slow motion with some 70's blues kind of music in the background. After we see them as a group, the music carries on playing as a character motive introduces each character seperately. Below is some pictures showing this:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgeglover/5455829598/" title="Picture 14 by G-Lover!!, on Flickr"><img alt="Picture 14" height="164" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5098/5455829598_e5b99c924e.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgeglover/5455831932/" title="Picture 15 by G-Lover!!, on Flickr"><img alt="Picture 15" height="172" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5060/5455831932_61f4fb908c.jpg" width="320" /> </a><br />
<br />
Overall, I feel that this is a good example of how music and sounds are used in crime thrillers, reasons that I think this are that the style of music gives the audience an insight to when and where the film is set, it also fits with the dress code of the group of men. Instead of the music fitting the tempo of the filming, the filming has been edited into slow motion to fit the blues music. The characters are also introduced slowly to fit the soundtrack. The soundtrack does not last long, however it manages to serve its purpose of introducing the characters and the plot, and giving the audience an insight of what may happen later on in the film.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821187473694550267.post-54035532968144191332011-02-14T04:15:00.000-08:002011-02-14T04:15:24.929-08:00Top 10 Filming Tips<ol><li>Keep the camera steady. </li>
<li>Don't leave tripod in shot. </li>
<li>Plan shots before filming.</li>
<li>Make sure everything you want captured is in the shot.</li>
<li>Make sure shot is in focus.</li>
<li>Make sure filming location is safe.</li>
<li>Ensure that lighting is correct (fully visible, not too bright and not too dark)</li>
<li>Continuity.</li>
<li>Repetition of shots to ensure the best outcome .</li>
<li>Leave time before and after shots to make editing easier.</li>
</ol>These are our top 10 filming tips which we will aim to follow during our filming.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821187473694550267.post-9329179690631156492011-02-14T03:27:00.000-08:002011-02-14T03:27:15.821-08:00Target AudienceThe target audience in which we are aiming for would be 15 +. Although this is an extremely wide audience to try and aim for, we believe that the movie cannot appeal to just certain ages, but to thriller film lover's in general. This is therefore why we have made the target audience (ages) as varied as it is.<br />
Although the film could be said to be mostly male orienated we are aiming for both male and females. For much the same reason as above, that thriller enjoyers cannt be classified to sex's, but also because while males might enjoy the violent edge the thriller contains, a female might enjoy the complexity of the opening, such as the non-linear structure and the mixed parallel shot editing use.<br />
<br />
Existing films which our target audience would be along the lines of 'criminal minds'. These sort of thrillers are such that contain violence, without actually showing any typical gore, and have sophisticated scenes showing how crimes are worked out.<br />
<br />
To engage the audience we will try and create dramatic tension. To create this tension, we are firstly incorporating a non-linear structure. We are showing the end of the film at the start, therefore this mix up should engage our audience straight away as they will be eager to find out how the ending has been built up. Also by using parallel shooting between a POV shot and a CCTV image, we will ingage the audience by building tension through this, and therefore not boring our audience.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821187473694550267.post-13049765068800384382011-02-07T04:17:00.000-08:002011-02-07T04:17:54.759-08:00analysis of Action thriller- Different countries, very conventional<br />

<ol><li>We used a wide range of camera shots to engage the viewer</li>
<li>The music effects went well with the atmosphere ofthe opening scene</li>
<li>The editing was done effectively to make the opening scene look smart and professional</li>
</ol><u><b>Weaknesses</b></u><br />
<u><b> </b></u><br />
<ol><li>Camera shots were unsteady </li>
<li>A tripod was left in the background (we need to observe the area more carefully and make sure it is suitable to start filming)</li>
<li>We were wearing different clothes on different days of filming (we need to have a plan of what costumes we will use and be consistent on following the original plan)</li>

<br />
As we are filming in town, possible issues could be as follows;<br />
<br />
<b>Traffic/ Cyclists-</b> Moving vehicles or bikes could pass by as we are filming or moving around location, therefore we must be aware to look after equipment carefully and also ourselves.<br />
<b>Passers By-</b> Civilians walking past or through out filming may have issues toward being filmed, or suspect that they are being filmed and this could lead to a conflict.<br />
<b>Dangerous Items-</b> As we are filming in a town alley way, this could be location to various illegal acts such as drug taking ECT, so we would have to be aware to check our location to ensure all is clear.<br />
<b>Thieves- </b>We will be walking around with expensive equipment which could attract attention from the wrong kinds of people.<br />
<b>Personal Well Being-</b> Staying together at all times as we are filming at night time in a big city<br />
<b>Transport- </b>Ensuring we all have appropriate and reliable methods of getting home safely.<br />
<br />
We will be aware of all of the previous whilst filming to ensure we and the equipment remain safe at all times whilst filming our thriller.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821187473694550267.post-49049185075862948932011-02-01T08:00:00.000-08:002011-02-01T08:00:54.087-08:00Dates That We Are Filming.We are planning to do a practise shoot and a loactaion recce on Monday 7th Feb. We will shoot the rest after we have looked back on our work from Monday. We will be taking a digital camera as well as a video camera so that we can take some photographs of the surrounding area. We will also be taking notes of things that we notice. This way we can find problems and solutions for the place that we will be filming.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821187473694550267.post-90970442737116235132011-01-31T03:53:00.000-08:002011-02-04T01:38:58.920-08:00Preperation Tasks Left To Complete-<ul><li>Shot List - A list of shots in an order that we are planning on using.
