Student Thriller video

This student opening has simmilar aspects and conventions that we are planning to use.
Main things in common:
. Set in butchers
. knife shots
. meat carving shots

LOcation Location (our ideas for locations)

We have thought out a few possible locations in which we would be ready to film in these include:

.Dark room(photography block) -this will be shots of our inspector/detective developing his prints , we may have to concider how we light this scene though.

.A college office(senior staff office)-this will be the scene of the ins
pector behind his desk reviewing the case

.A isolated street - freestyle filming find location on the day (cambridge)

>''Butchers'' - Mill Rd -scenes in the back room and front of the shop.

Like Cattle Animatic

We have done a animatic for our thriler project Like Cattle. This animatic is shown in the video above. This played a vital role in creating ideas and deciding on camera shots. This was a key part of planning our project as it enabled a way to shows shots we are planning to do and give us an idea of where we are going with our project. It also gave us a clue on how long certain shots would last and any effects or camera veiws we wanted to include. The animatic also shows camera movements as well, all this is a vital part of creating our project as when we get to our locations we know exactly what to film and how. It also speeds up editing work as we also know what effects we want to use and what filters we want to use. The animatic also helps us decide on music as we can upload tracks and play them along side the footage to determine where and what sounds we need.

StoryBoard

Our story board shows a basic concept of our thoughts and ideas in terms of shots we plan to use. We have a shot by shot record to use when constructing our thriller titles
this enables us to check back to ensure we capture some of are original ideas into the final piece.
We have made sveral changes to the storyboard already including various angles camera use, also we have a feel for what props we may need.

The storyboard proved very useful as it allowed us to gain a snapshot perception of the titles
