Storyboard

We filmed our storyboard pictures in school because we felt the location wasn't the importance of it. We made the storyboard to show the characters needed for casting, filming techniques, angles (Low - show power. High - Intimidation), Shot types and how many title slates were needed, along with how many over all shots. We checked that the rule of thirds was used in every single shot, and that we didn't break the 180 degree rule.



Production logo


This is our production Logo, we used Flash to create it. We created the name 'Skyline Productions' because it sounds both professional and interesting. The moving logo idea came from the name, We used three colours for the colour scheme as it looks creative, any more colours would have made it look messy and non-professional. The movement of our logo is quite jumpy, this connects with the genre of film we are creating; a Thriller.

Audience Expectation VOX POPS



This is the video the group made, we all took part in being in the video and then also shared the work editing and uploading the video. In order to create the video we interviewed a variety of people of different age groups and gender and asked them different questions:
1)What they expect to see when watching a thriller film.
2)What they expect to feel when watching a thriller film.
3)What their favourite film is and why.

After filming all the different people, we discussed howe we should present it, we came up with a creative video idea. We edited the whole video and came up with the following, we hope you enjoy it!
Overall we all agreed that the video was successful and we was all very pleased with the way the video turned out, to improve the video we would maybe give the actors more time in order to practice what they have to say and compose themselves however we did the best we could in the time that we had. The video as a whole reveals what different audiences expect when they watch a thriller film therefore the video has meet the criteria.

Hope you enjoy the final video!
