Script

Since our film was a thriller, we did not want to give too much away, so we did not add any dialogue. This also created many enigmas as it made you think more as it did not give much away when nothing was said.

Possible Shooting Problems

This film was shot on the same day and we did not experience any of the usual possible problems with costume, natural lighting, producing the same angle on a different day.  However we did have some problem to overcome while setting up such as:

Artificial light – Since we were in a drama studio we had to ensure that we used suitable light to set the mood for our title sequence which was a thriller.

Props - Since some of our props were small we had to make sure that the camera shots were focus on them clearly making sure they were not too close or too far.

Actors – Had to make sure that the camera angles were able to see the actions performed by the actors.

Title Sequences

Seven
Two detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his modus operandi. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114369/


 






This title sequence would help me and my group because it creates a lot of enigmas. In our title sequence we don't want to give to much away. Se7en is a great title sequence for not showing away too much.

300 
King Leonidas and a force of 300 men fight the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416449/







This also will help with our title sequence as this brings a lot of enigmas. Even though it shows more than the Se7en sequence it still makes you wanting to know more.

Film Concept Development + My Individual Concept Idea



Here are my ideas, audience/teacher feedback and what action we have taken in response to this feedback.




This is my individual concept idea put into a comic strip.

Toy movie (The Godfather) Final



This is the final product made after getting feedback, teamwork and other various things, There is background noise which makes it hard to hear the main voice but for next time, after learning from this mistake it shouldn't happen again.
