Conventions Of A Thriller

We wanted to know what people expected from the thriller genre...

Recces (16/12/2011)

These are some photos of the location for shooting on the 19th December. Obviously they won't look exactly like this on the day. Due to a lot of things happening at my house (reconstruction, moving back in, etc) it won't look like this. There will be some things happening on the day of shooting but they won't affect the shoot in any way. The bathroom, the stairs, the hallway & the front path way are parts that will be heavily used throughout our opening scenes.

Lighting & locations for the 19th December (14/12/2011)

On the 19th December, we will begin shooting on the first day at Rivendell, Mally's Place, South Darenth (my house.) I feel that it is a good location because it is a private road which works to our advantage as there is a scene when we have to walk down the road and there will be no cars around the area. The lighting is quite bright but we will use artifical light to reinforce some scenes. I believe it is a good location for our thriller because it is tucked away from most of society and it is set in the country side, South Darenth is mainly country side with very little disturbances or social interactions, such as town centres. A possible idea was to use Farningham Road station and have our actor 'come' off a train in his army outfit, however we dismissed this idea as it would be very difficult to shoot at a train station.

Animatic (12/12/2011)

We discussed our animatic thoroughly via a video. You can find this video on the link below...

Permission to Shoot...cont. (12/12/2011)

When we got a reply, Joe then rang the council and they told us to email another member of the council, which we did as you can see.

I think we're just planning to go ahead with filming as Mr Cole of Gravesham council informed us, the palce where we want to film is not their responsibility.

Props List (9/12/2011)

Cigarette & Lighter. Amy smokes so we will borrow one off her. The smoking scene is not essential to the opening, we just wanted to show a contrast to the character - he has OCD and an obsession with being clean, yet he smokes which could be seen as an unclean thing to do.
Picture. We will print off the picture that is necessary, it will probably be in black & white as a deeper meaning (it can show the two sides of his personality, the OCD obsessive clean person and the army man.)
Picture Frame. It hasn't been decided if the picture in the picture frame will be used, but we're going to shoot with it then do two edits of the film, one with it, the other without it and see which looks better.
These are the main props that we have at the moment. Amy will also need to hold a baby doll which can be found of a young family member.

Group Meeting (7/12/11)

Ok, so today, we discussed the details of our recce pictures and also the direction we plan to take in terms of actuall shooting. The storyboard was finished completely, though we all understood that shots and scenes may be changed in accordance with feelings on the day.

We've also found a great group of musicians who are willing to work with us to produce an original thrilleresque track to be used for our final thriller piece - Dead By Alliance. We'll be breifing them within the next week , and working from then on, on the track.

It was decided that we would experiment with different fields in the film process that we wanted to have a go at or felt we should get to grips with: So the filming will be primarily done by Joe on the 19th and Abbie on the 20th, with Maisy doing the main amount of editing in the first week of January.

Filming location on the 19th December (7/12/2011)

There is a potential problem as I haven't been living here for a year (I move back on the 15th) and there may be deliveries and such at random times. This can be worked around. Amy has confirmed that she will be okay to shoot on the 19th. All three actors are confirmed to be there! A picture of Connor can be found above!

Potential Problem! (6/12/2011)

How the actors are getting to the shoot?

Amy can drive and as she is James' girlfriend, we can probably ask them to come together, will confirm whether that will happen later. Connor will get a lift with either Abbie or Maisy. For the second shoot, I will get the bus up to Gravesend to meet everyone there. We are beginning filming at 12pm on both days for continuity.


~Joe Fitz

Group meeting (5/12/2011)

Connor confirmed that he will be our second actor, pictures of him to follow.
Shooting should start on the 19th December at my house (South Darenth) from 12pm & on the 20th December at 12pm (Gravesend.) Pictures of locations are to follow.
Another meeting will follow tomorrow (we will also begin to create our timeline & storyboard in this time.)
All actors have agreed to show up to the shoot.

Costumes (5/12/2011)

Actor 1 (James) he will have two main outfits: the army outfit & a coat with jeans. We have an army all in one which we will cover up the fact it is an all in one. The coat & jeans, James will have but we will possibly change it to a trench coat. For Amy (the female) we were thinking of her wearing a night gown or dressing gown or possible tracksuit to show she has been lonely since her husband went to war. The other actor, possibly Connor, will have a hoodie and jeans. We will cover up his face, it seems very horror film-ish at the start but that is intentional as it is a thriller. There will be no murders or anything horror-y apart from their outfits.
