Our 2nd Poster

Our 1st poster

This poster is our first practise poster that I created. This is just a quick teaser poster just to show what our thriller is about, and I used a picture of our location and edited it just to make it seem realsitic but also creepy.

The reason for naming our film Recollection

Why We Chose to Call Our Thriller Recollection

The four types of title sequence

The first of the four is a discrete title sequence. This sort of sequence gives the watcher a good idea of what the film is going to be about and what sort of things will be happening without revealing too much. A good example of this is the se7en title sequence which involves many distorted and disturbing images.

The second type of title sequence is a narrative opening where the credits come along with the start of the film. This is effective as it gets the watcher enticed in the film from an early stage. A good example of this is ‘the shining’. In this opening there is an erey feel due to the fact they are in a very quiet and almost abandoned place.

Another type of title sequence is a high budgeted title sequence. An example of this is the opening of ‘Casino Royal’. This is normal for a film like James bond which is very well known and therefore well-funded. With an opening like what ours will be this will not be possible as we do not have the funds to produce it.

The last type of title sequence is stylized editing. An example of this is stylized editing ‘Mesrine’ where editing is used to show split screens and create the feeling of someone being watched and followed.

Our changes so far

Music ideas for our thriller

As a group, we spoke about the different types of effect that we wanted the veiwer to feel, therefore we listened to many different sounds that we thought were suitable for a crime thriller movie. We also had to realise that the music had to be copyright free.

At this point, we are not sure if we are going to use any of these soundtracks, but we have agreed that this is the type that we want to have in our thriller opening.

Storyboard

Marking other students work

Below is an overveiw of the points that we covered in the video.




Here is the video that we assessed.

Calendar of tasks

As a group, we created a calendar of all the tasks we we need to complete in preparation for the filming to keep ourselves organised and make things clear.

Maslows hierarchy of needs

Maslow stated that people are motivated to achieve certain needs. When one need is fulfilled a person seeks to fullfil the next one, and so on.

The earliest and most widespread version of Maslow's hierarchy of needs includes five motivational needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.

This five stage model can be divided into basic (or deficiency) needs (e.g. physiological, safety, love, and esteem) and growth needs (self-actualization).

Audience profile

Audience profile

Name: Lee Smith

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Born: UK

Education: Sixth form (A-level student)

Subjects: Business Studies, Economics, Philosophy

Interests: As a teenager, I enjoy social time with my friends; we tend to go to leisure places such as golf courses, football Astros and swimming. I also enjoy attending the cinema. I have several social media sites that I use to communicate with my friends and family and keep me up to date with things going on in the world.

Favorite movies: As a teenager I enjoy tense gripping thrillers to get me thinking, I enjoy being on the edge of my seat. So in this case some of my faviroute films are Taken, The Woman in Black and Skyfall. That being said I also really enjoy watching comedy movies that make me laugh and give me and my friends something to talk about. I tend to watch films either with my friends at home or we go to the cinema for something to do for social time.

Favorite music/artists: My favorite style of music is usually whatever is in the top 40 UK charts. If I had to be more specific, I would say that R&B is my favorite style but this doesn’t mean that I don’t like listening to other genres.

Favorite TV shows: My favorite TV series are again ones that grip me and make me want to watch the new episode each week, as frustrating as it may be; I love series that give out cliff hangers in order to make me think about what could happen the following week. I enjoy crime series the most because I feel they are tense and most are based on real life situations. Examples of my favorite TV shows would be Broadchurch and Breaking bad.
