Final Film

continuity task

For are continuity task we made an anamatic of what we where going to film. i was given the task of writing the script which i didnt do a very good job with it. my group then decided to shoot in the winter gardens as i wasnt around to confure with. I was unable to attende but the other members of my group did a very good job of it. one of the members of my group acted and the other filmed, i am very proud of the filming as clair wasnt very experiance but did a very good job of it. i then met up with the group and watched the footage and started to help them edit.
This helped us alot for when we got to are first shooting as we all had experiance with the camera so we could all shoot when we where out so we could get more shots and make what we can do more.
i think that this task is really going to help us in the shooting of are opening as it will give all of us confidence to shoot and gives the other members of thew group more time to direct the actors and find location, props and more.

Evalutions of thrillers

Ithink there are lots of codes and conventions of thriller films. the music that is plaid, the charicters in the film and the storyline but there are also some key codes and conventions for the opening of a thriller which is what i am interested in.
What i noticed about all the thriller openings is that they are very mysteriouse and dont give anything away about the story wheather it be "MI2", "sin city" or even "se7en" also i think that with all of them is that they are all mainly about the music rather than the visual as but the music is very much supported by the visual as without it, its just a song.
With the thriller we are planning on basing are thriller the codes and conventions of the opening are different. we are thinking of a Bond kind of film so when we really get intop the planning we will have to look into these kind of thrillers alot more.
