19/01/09- planning thriller practical

In today’s lesson we stared off by watching the completed practise videos for each group in our class. We were given feed back by our teacher (Tony Fahy) about our clip. we were told that our clip was extremely good and entertaining and that our editing and match cuts fit in well in our sequence. On the other hand he did recommend that we do not use a voice over on our real task as it fits in with the old style Chinese drama we were doing it on, but will not be suitable for a serious thriller.

We then carried on our planning for the actual practical course work, we went thought the ideas that we all came up with in the previous lessons and discussed the good points about them and also the implications such as finding a ideal location. We then concluded that we will have our thriller set in the college with the scene/ story line relating to a college background. Thought the guidance of our teacher we had managed to come up with a plot. Our plot is about a psycho teacher that has held a hostage, we plan to bring suspense by making the teacher seem normal until we conclude the clip with the audience finding out about the hostage.

We then went on to discuss the possible plot we will have in our film and which one of us will play what role and what shot types will be fitting to each of the scenes we are planning to produce. For the final part of the lesson we went around suggested areas of the college to see what effects the location has and whether or not the shot types we planned will be appropriate and effective.
