The image above is not a good location for a film because it is to narrow, and also it will be difficult to film on because of the lack of space around the concrete.




The positives about this picture is that it has alot of space to film different angles to get the best possible results, also this alley way has motor access for the motorbike we are planning to use. One negative of this alley way is that it is near a lot of houses so we may get complaints about the noise we are making.








The possitives about this alley is that it has the urban touch that we are trying to achieve, it also has space to achieve good camera shots. One negative is that it may be hard to ride the motorbike down this alley.





This alley way has a lot of potential because it has an urban touch, also we could do a range of different shots because of this our end product will look better. A negative of this is that it is a popular walkway so it may be hard to keep continuity because we will have to keep pausing shots.

This is Me Jack and Will's thumbnails for our practical. we have chosen a wide variety of camera shots to show hierachy and make the piece interesting. We will also use a create piece of sound non diagetically for tension.

This is a moodboard made up of several film covers from the 1990's to today. These films are all thrillers. I chose a variety of different thrillers e.g. action thrillers, psychological thrillers and political thrillers.

This opening is from James Bond 'Casino Royale'. It uses sound to build up tension like all the thriller openings i've seen. It also uses an enigma code at the start when bond chases this black guy. The mystery of this is why bond is chasing this guy and what he wants with this guy. At the end of the opening we find out he wants the guys bag, and it actually finishs bond opening his bag, this is a great way to end an opening as it encourages an audience to watch on.

This opening is an action/thriller genre and is from the film triple x. It uses an interesting kind of music (rock/heavy metal) which is fast moving which matches the opening chase. The same as the Saw 3 opening it uses dark colour and is lighten by lamps etc only. I think Music And Scene are the most important thing to get right in a thriller. At the start of these openings there is usually a mystery.

For my practical i have chosen to do a film opening with a thriller genre.. The first opening i have chosen to analyse is Saw 3.

I feel this film falls in to a thriller/horror genre. It starts with a mystery as to a torch on a gun lying blood-stained tile floor. Suddenly a scared panicing man appears stretching for the gun which asks many qeustions e.g. where this man is? who is he? The scene is also set dark to also add to the sense of mystery. I feel if we create a thriller opening we will need create a dark opening scene and ask questions to make the audience carry on watching. On our camera angles we will need to create hierachy as on thrillers there's usually good guys and bad guys. Sound is executed extremely well in this opening, the sound is really tense which pairs up with the tense opening scene. We will need sound in our opening if we want a tense atmosphere.
