ideas for ident

Our main idea for our ident is that The picture will consist of the letters CHA which stands for Ciro Harvey Austin, Which are group members. Now the font for our letters had something to do with thriller so we went on dafont.com and searched for thrillers,

The background for our ident consisted of blood splatters which is typical of thrillers and adds alot of mystery in why is there going to be blood.

-Harvey

Filming dates

We are thinking of filming on saturday 27th of feb because its the most convenient time for the whole group to get together.
Getting to the hotel is a problem for 1 person but for the other two is no problem.
We might finish all of it on saturday if not we might do it on the weekday after that saturday

Music terminology

Here is a list of music terminology we have used to help us:

• Diagetic: The sound is coming from within the scene (e.g. radio, traffic, background noise).
• Non-diagetic: Sound effects added after filming (e.g. music added or sound effects to enhance to the filming and make scenes more intense).
• Sound Bridge: Used to link sounds together (e.g. two scenes).
• Asyncronise: When the sound doesn't reflect/match the image.
• Narrator: Someone reading a long with the story (this person is not a character)
• Ambient Sound: Natural sounds.

Garageband

we will be making our own sound for our thriller in garageband there are lots of apple loops in other words preset sounds that you can use, choosing preset sounds for our thriller is hard but were practising along the way to keep us used to the software

Fonts

Here are some fonts that we thought would look good for our title sequence and credits:

What makes a good thriller?

A good thriller should make the audience feel like they're participating in a film rather than spectating. A good thriller will make the audience experience emotional disturbances for their enjoyment because they don't experience it first hand, this is called thrills. Viewers enjoy thrillers because they can enjoy the thrills in the safety and comfort of their chairs.
Horror films are different to Thrillers because they are more about extreme aversion rather than thrills. Horror films create an unnatural excitement and feature gore and un-emotional horror.
Thrillers are generally whole hearted and many believe this is why the thriller genre will live on while the horror genre will die.

filming tips

1. Think about different shot types.

2. Organisation- time- decent shot list tick it off as you go along.

3. Think ahead about credits, where will they go.

4. Stick to your storyboard if possible.

5. Shout out shot number before each shot/take.

6. Lights, camera, action.

7. Sort out roles-swap if necessary.

8. Think distance for camera and sound.

9. Lighting, test.

10. Perform.

we have already decided on some of these, one of the things we have decided on is the roles which we have chosen.

Ciro

The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) is what regulates films in britain, the BBFC rates each film's content under its relevance to plot and how appropriate it is for what age group/audience.
The BBFC rates films into the following catorgories: U PG 12 12A 1518 R18.

15:
15 rated certificate usually allow moderate violence, gore and sexual activity. However not in explicit circumstances and it must be of relevance. Drug taking is not banned however it cannot be promoted to be seen in a positive way.

We have decided that our thriller will be a 15 rating. This was decided after researching films that were used as the inspiration for our thriller. A few of these films are:

The Bourne trilogy-12

Shooter-15

Hitman-15

Valkyrie-12

These films all have a similar plot in that there are assassinations and political influences. Although the Bourne trilogy is only rated a 12 there is a lot of violence and we think that it is between a 12 and a 15.

Actors

we chose to just have the three people in are group acting in our media project. we are going to have three different characters in the opening scene that we are filming. The first will be the receptionist who will be acted out by Ciro, the second is a guest, the reason we have added this person is to add realism to the scene, the guest will be played by Harvey. The last character will be the assassin who will be played by Austin. We might use some other people as extras but none of these will have speaking roles.

Ciro

Location sorrento hotel

Hotel






We chose this place as a group because ciro has got permission and its secluded, and i think it adds more a mysterious effect for this project, and all the costumes might and will be provided in there


-Harvey,Ciro,Austin

Costume

Suit- an inspired costume for the assasin, looking at thrillers for example hitman the lead male role wears a suit, Valkyrie man character wears a formal officer war costume
i think this is very good because wearing a suit could mean anything from going into an interview, business related things, people expect different than hitman




chef costume

Chefs costume adds an effect to this thriller as we we play different roles in our project

ideas for Props

Palm tree(s)



Sniper
-were using sniper/guns to show that violence is involved , and that makes it clear than someone will be dead


Briefcase
-We need briefcase to hide the sniper, preferably a metal case or just a normal business briefcase


Harvey,Austin,Ciro

Character

Our main character is going to be quite similar to jason bourne from 'the bourne identity' and bob swagger from 'shooter' as he is a trained assassin/soldier but he begins to rebel against the people that made trained him to kill. The character will attract sympathy from the audience as it begins to seem like the whole world is against him. We are not yet sure about how much of the story we can get across in the 2 minutes we are allowed but we will try and give away as many clues as possible.
