For our film opening we analysed three other films who have the same 'crime thriller' genre.The reason why we decided to do this was to see what other codes and conventions crime thriller films should have so that we could ensure that we included this. For instance one of the major conventions included high key lighting in at least 2-3 shots and this was demonstrated in all films that I have analysed accentuating for us to include this. Furthermore, other conventions that we were often demonstrated included dull and dim colours, quick shots and a lot of close ups all of which we included into our planning.
Who are your primary audience and how will you attract the to your film? (age rating, psychographic profile, uses and gratifications)
We have agreed on the age certificate of 15 as the plot of the thriller film may be sensitive to viewers emotionally. Also, due to previous research into the thriller films they had the age certificate of either '12' or '15' which accentuates that this is the most common age for this genre of film. Knowing this, it allowed us to look into research about what our age range, for instance how often they attend the cinema. By looking at cinema websites we found this age was most likely to attend the cinema as they has more time to persue social activities such as going to the cinema.
What were the main reasons behind the choices of location, actors. costumes and props for your movie?
Name the film company and explain the roles you have been undertaking over the past 6 weeks and what has been your biggest challenge? (time management, use of technology and organisation)
What did I learn from completing the preliminary task?
The preliminary task was very useful as it made us more aware of how important it was to follow a strict plan. For instance we had to follow our storyboards closely making sure that every step was shot accordingly and that the correct camera shot was used at the correct time. For me, the task showed me the importance of following a plan.
How many shots (inc. insitutional logos) are included in your two minute opening and which are most relevant?
Reflect on your skills in using video camera and editing software and what further editing choices I intend to use in the next 3 weeks (e.g. music)?
Is the narrative, dialogue, mis-en-scene I've used typical to the thriller genre?
How have I considered lighting effectively in the film opening?
