Plaanning & shooting

Planning & shooting
In our group we are planning to do a thriller. Looking at thrillers we notice to make a thriller that the basic story line is tragic eruptions. When looking at other opening sequences all of them have a similar story lines. The way that layout are shown on opening sequence changes with the tone and style of the music. When an intense and dark music is played it affects the atmosphere of the thriller. Are thriller is basic on a tragedy between two friends. A friendship that turns into evil, we decided to film the thriller at a house and set different sense.
The first sense that we decided to film was the friends having a bit of a party, getting dresses up and playing twister. After a while it falls in to the night time playing games. Another sense we did, was about the girls playing twister getting spied on by the killer, except the girls don’t know that one of them is going to get kidnapped and killed in a few hours. Another scene we did is our main opening scene, this is our torture scene. In this scene we have tie someone up and covered then in fake blood that we made are self using a recipe that we found in the internet. When we set this scene up we used a spot light to focus on the victim. We use a plan background and put black bin liners on the chair to make the scene more intense. The last shoot that we did was the getaway of the vehicle. This shoot is where the victim is taken in the car and drove into a ditch and then putting petrol on the car and burning it.
When planning the kidnapping we had to make sure that the victim was dress in a way that made her look like she had been messed about and hit and been assaulted. By using a man’s T-shirt and ripped it and put fake blood on it we were able to create the right atmosphere and style for the scene. Some of the other props we used were, the twister game, spot light, costumes, rope, fake, blood, silver tape, car, chair knifes and clothes all of these props where made to crate this opening sequence.
In our sequence we are trying to create the storyline but not actually tell the storyline or give what happening away. In our Opening sequence we are going to have a flash back effect. We are staring of with the victim getting torture then flashing back to when the victim was out with her mates.
