Planning : Choosing an Idea

( We've decided to choose the 3:15 as our final idea for our film opening, as we live in a small town which would fit our mine en scene.

We could replicate this through the choice of costume by undoing the top button and making the uniform untidy to suggest a midlife crisis which is a common convention is that genre. )

Behind the scenes: Comments  Upon Arrival to set the correct set dressing and props were displayed for the scene, this was then followed by setting the correct aperture and ISO of the camera.  Whilst setting up the mic and tripod, and setting the correct spirit levels.   A lighting stand was deployed to create the light the scene correctly. However, the lighting produced was too bright therefore saturated the shots which didn't match the dark conventions of a thriller film.  We used a Dolly to create some of the tracking shots that were supposed to be in the film, but unfortunately, the wheels didn't respond well to the floor surface.

Justification of genre

Justification of genre Justification of genre - Thriller. The genre we have selected for our film opening is the Thriller genre. We selected thriller as our narrative is of a hanging murder mystery with aspects of both horror and action implemented to create some interesting cinematography throughout the duration of the film opening. For our two minute opening we base the narrative on a typical thriller/horror cannibal story line, similar to 'Hannibal Lecter' but then on the other hand it will be filmed within the still of 'Drive' to add a modern thriller affect on the the classic film narrative style. This particular genre style is aimed towards males but we plan to make it appealing to both male and female views as if taken to full production we would cast a visually pleasing and attractive male in the character of the protagonist to further more create a binary opposite male gaze theory, attractive females to watch due to this particular cast members of scre...
