Location

Today i went out with my group looking for a good location to film our thriller.

Research into company logo

Today in lesson we looked at Collateral and Green Zone. We watched the opening scene because we was looking at how there are diffrent companies for example Paramount, Dreamworks and Universal, because our task was to come up with our own production name and try to design a logo for it.

These are the logos of the Big production companies, but sometimes you can get small production companies that work with the big names for example in Green Zone Universal worked with Working Title which is a small production company in the UK. I also noticed that the pictures that they chose are stuff that are big, like Paramount have the mountain and the universal have the Earth saying look at me and we are hoping to make our ident the same. So try to make it stand out.

Panic Room opening sequence.

When we was watching the Panic room we was looking out how the title was layed out. Also how it was suitable for the film. The film it self looks ok but the music makes it seem very scary.

Survey monkey results

To find out some answers about the thriller genre i decided to do a questionaire on survey monkey. Then i uploaded my survey to Facebook asking people if they can do my survey and these are the results that i got at the end of the day.

Film Language Summery

Film language is basically mise en scene in most films so stuff like costume, camera movements ands other stuff.

Mohammed, Rilwan and Jenna Storyboard Backstabber

This is our story board for our thriller and it took us about 15 minutes to draw and then we had to take pictures. Then finally we uploaded it to youtube.

Sabotage

In todays lesson we watched a bit of Sabotage. That is a Alfred Hitchcock film what it is about is that a terrorist sends the little boy with film reels, this turns out to be a bomb and he has to deliver it before      1:45 pm but the doesn't know that it is a bomb. But then the little boy decides to wonder off while he is delivering the package and heads of to the shopping centre.

To build tension Hitchcock always zoomed into the package then you would hear the music and the music would be a clock ticking away. Then he went to a hot of the clock mechanism reminding the audience that the boy is still against time. Then when he got onto the bus thats when the tension really started to build up because the shots kept on changing from the parcel to the clock. As soon as it hit 1:45 the bomb went off and the boy died on the bus.

This is the little boy with the bomb.
