Starting the Thriller - Lesson 1 09/02/10 -

- Lesson 1 09/02/10 -
In this lesson we started working on our ideas for our main task: creating the opening sequence for a thriller.

To start off with, our teacher showed us some examples of previous students work, showing us what was good and what was bad so that we could take ideas on what and what not to do in our own pieces.

We then got into groups and Ashley Grantham and I decided to go as a pair as it would allow us to keep core ideas of ours as their would only be two of us making the decisions, whereas had we chose a bigger group then our personal ideas may have been diluted by the amount of opinions present.

Our first task for creating our thriller began by creating a mind map of our ideas that we could use to create our storyboard. We mapped out our ideas on what we wanted, with characters, setting, time of day and props, as well as what we roughly wanted to show. Unfortunately we didn't have time to finish the storyboard and so we shall carry on making it next lesson. For homework we will create a questionnaire and get 7 people to answer it and use the results to further develop our ideas on what to make as our final piece. For personal research I will look at 2 thriller film openings and analyse them on Mise en Scene, Camera work, Sound and Editing.
