Storyboard animatics

We drew a storyboard with images of the sequence of our thriller. Then we took close up images of our drawings and uploaded them onto the computer. Using final cut express we created a video of this sequence and added sound effects. I hope you like it!

Contingency plan

Contingency Plan
Name: Tania Begum, Ashleigh Westcott, Lucie Stevens

Potential problems and how to overcome these problems:

Proposal

Proposal
Prepared by
Tania Begum, Ashleigh Westcott and Lucie Stevens


In the thriller that my group have planned are going to create will have Flashbacks in it to remind the killer of what he has done. It will contain Extreme Close Ups, Close Ups and Long Shots. In this thriller opening it will build up tension as the audience will be focused on the video. As it is the opening of a thriller it only shows the first part of the film which is flashbacks, picture of the missing person on the newspaper and how the person went missing.

Additional Notes:  (map of area/weather forecast etc) 

These are the park we are mostly likely to film as these are the closet to everyone in our group. The first one is in central park and the next one is in Goodmayes park.

We will have to film in a dark area seen as its a thriller and do it in a day when its not raining and cold. This will allow us to film most of the thriller without any mistakes.

Mood board

This is my mood board which I made for our thriller. We have decided to call this Innocence? I used the colours red black grey white and green to represent murder and a thrilling atmosphere of darkness. The green represents the present while the man is sitting on the bench in the park.
