Locations for where thrillers could be filmed

This is about where Thrillers are filmed, they are typically filmed, they are typically filmed, for example they are normally filmed where things are less likely to happen or there are the same type of people are so they almost have a discus and also the typical business dressed male isn't going to commit a crime as the stereotype says. Such as Usual Suspects the men are all dressed in suites, the typical stereotype of a business dressed person is that they wouldn't dream of committing a crime as they have been well educated to not do things relating to crime.

These are all locations on where Thrillers could be filmed. What I have found from this page is that when it comes to my test footage and also my final filming, I will need to film in a busy town. Many of the actors and locations in Thrillers are dressed as business men, as they wont, draw attention to themselves when commenting a crime and there will also be men with similar description.

Match on Action edit

This is my edit of a match on action. For this task I had to edit the clip where it was the same on both angles of the camera. We done this task because we will have to do similar things when we edit our  opening sequence to a Thriller. This also helps us to get use to the software we will be using when editing. We will be demonstrating this when he produce our opening sequence to a Thriller as we come to edit it.

Spoiler to Silence of the Lambs

Silence of the Lambs

There has been a kidnap of a woman called Cathrin which detectives are confident that a man called Buffalo Bill is responsible of this. It's not easy to track him down so they diside to ask a man already in prison called Hannaibal. They know that a man who they have in prison knows about Buffalo Bill and knows just what he's capable of. The female detective is new to the team of detectives and wants to go and question the man in prison, for committing a very similar crime as Buffalo Bill has comited, this man goes by the name Hannibal. Hannibal is a very sick man and knows a lot about the case the detectives are trying to crack, so the police want to gain as much evidence as they possibly can. Clairice promises Hannibal if he helps her with cracking the case he will be able to move cells, he does just that, but when he has moved to his new cell me manages to escape. As hannibal manages to escape Clairice is taken off the case, but she still tires to crack the case and manages to detect where Buffalo Bill is keeping Cathrin and let the police know. Hannibal is still on the loose, but rings up Clairice to congratulate her on her findings.

Match On Action

This video is my groups match on action, we was set this task to do a 180 degree rule, we filmed them on iPhones. Completing this task will help us when it come to filming our own opening sequence to a Thriller. Once we had watched the clip back we realised that there we had made a huge mistake, we captured the people who were filming in our clip. We edited bits from different cameras to produce the match on action.

TV Drama (notes from class)

How do TV dramas (characters) display disabled people?

Little Britain displays their disabled character (Andy) who relies on his friend to take him shopping, cook for him and also wash him. Andy is actually faking his disability as he is too lazy to want to do things for himself so he pretends he's disabled to get his friend to do everything for him. The way Andy is presented is very unhygienic as he isn't very clean and doesn't really care about what he looks like or how he presents himself. The portray they're creating of disabled people is that they aren't clever and don't want to do anything, but when Andy actually does get up and walks around it shows that actually he wants to be able to do things, but his laziness is stopping him from doing so.

Mood board for what makes a Thriller

This is a mood board that shows different things about Thrillers, we are studying this as we will gain knowledge in what is contained when producing a Thriller.

Mood Board for Crack

I have made a mood board of screen shots of parts for Crack. I've done this to get a more of an understanding of different things that makes a Thriller. I've looked at different things in Crack such as the facial expressions the characters have, the props they use and also their body language they have throughout this clip.

Camera Shots

-rule of thirds
-long shot
-medium shot
-pan shot
-close up
-extreme close up
-high and low angle
-track pan

These are all different types of camera angles, these are mainly used in Thrillers as they build more suspense in scenes when there's an extreme close up on something or someone that is key to the story line. When using an extreme close up for example to build more suspense dramatic music is added, this also brings the views attention to what's happening.  We need to be aware of these as we will have to use these when we film our opening sequence to a Thriller.

Falling Down sound remake with Ben Homewood

For this part of our course work we had to remake our own versions of the sound to the things which are happening in this clip. This will help us for when we come to edit our own clips, we will have to edit the sound from the opening sequence we film.

Se7en Title Sequence

This remake of Se7en's opening sequence has helped me get use to the editing involved when producing something similar to what I have produce for the course work.
