Guys,

Your rough cut is 13 minutes long! So i wasn't able to upload it in the time available.

I will let Tom know.

Experimenting with fonts.

2008-12-09T03:43:00.001-08:00

I have tried out a variety of fonts to use for my credits, I am looking for a font which can resemblance a mobile text font. I think I've found one which I think looks really cool and looks like a mobile text font.
This is the font which appealed to me most, it's called the 'OCR A std'.

These are the other fonts which I've experimented with.

I am looking to now edit the font, trying to make it unique fo the thriller opening, my current ideas are that we may fade the writing a little, or make it type on the screen, which portrays a sentence being typed in the style of a mobile text.

Location

2008-12-03T01:09:00.000-08:00

Our original idea for the location of our film was going to be Milton Country Park as it had a vast forest area, which would be perfect for our opening sequence. However, we have decided not to choose this location after all as it we think it is going to be too hard to try and get there especially as it gets dark so early. We have now decided to film our sequence at the back of the college, near the railway where there is a forest area, which would suit our forest like location.

I have been researching thriller videos to use the conventions of the flashbacks in order to help us progress. I have been watching a variety of videos and this is the one which I think most helpful.

I have been drawing a few ideas down on the storyboards, so far I have 3 different ideas to do, but we can't make our minds up yet.

Our Thriller Ideas

2008-11-25T03:22:00.000-08:00

We are going to start our thriller with someone in a forest, starting with an above camera shot to set the scene. We then want to spiral the camera into a close up of the persons face, as they begin to wake up. The person will be tied up somehow and the scene will be made up of them breaking free. We our going to have a point of view shot of the person as they look around to establish their surroundings. Also, we are then going to make the character have flashbacks to set up the story for the rest of the film. In the flashbacks, there is going to be a new character added to the scene, where the person tries to establish how he got to the forest. We are going to make the other person in the scene get kidnapped and therefore the storyline to the film will be the person trying to find their friend.
Once the person has managed to break free, their phone is going to then ring, stating that they have 24 hours to find their friend otherwise they die. Because of this, we have decided to name our thriller '24 Hours'.

Researching Thrillers

2008-11-21T08:01:00.000-08:00

This is the trailer for Saw, which we got some of our ideas from. Like in this film, we wanted to create mystery as to why the character was where they were at the start of the film. However, we are going to try to leave out the horror element to our film so that it does not go in to the horror category so much.

First Thriller Ideas

2008-11-21T07:49:00.000-08:00

Saw inspired us because we wanted to create a psychological thriller. We wanted to start our opening sequence with someone waking up in either a dark room like in Saw or perhaps a forest, which would lead to many questions to begin with as to how the character got there. Like in Saw, we had the idea of the characters life being in danger, however, we thought this would be quite a difficult scene to create as lots of props would be required to create the effect that we were after. Because of this, we looked at The Bourne Identity too. We had the idea of the character in our footage not knowing who they were, where they were and what they were doing, like in Bourne, which would create the stroyline for the rest of the film.
