NARRATIVE OF THRILLER OPENING SEQUENCE

STORY LINE: The story is about a man who is in his house, watching Tv and is also looking terrified. Then his phone rings and he keeps saying hello but no one answers. Then the next minute he hears his door be, walks to the door but no one's there. Then a minutes later, something strange happens, the bell and the phone rings and also heavy knocks on the door at the same time. The man opens the door and there is a big scream from him. He leaves the door, runs upstairs and locks his self in the room. He see something so terrifying.

MIS EN SCENE:  The movie takes place in a inside and outside a house.

SOUND: The use of a self made track by a student. The  track is more of a piano with softly played strings which brings the mystery. Its also has non-diegetic sounds like the door bell, phone, footsteps and the television sounds. All this sounds make the character more inconvenient.

FONT: The font set would be a bold, block and huge writing. With a deep black background, with the writings in red  to create fair, worries and shock.

REASON FOR PICKING WHICH THIRLLER TREATMENT TO DEVELOP

The movie opening we have chosen is about the girl in College,who is being stalked.

Continuity Exercise 2.1

STRENGTHS 

    We were able to use a range of shot sizes in the video. Tracking,over the shoulder,close-up,extreme close-up and long shots were used in the exercise to show .We learnt three new shot types,match-on-action,shot reverse and 180 degree rule. These brought a certain level of improvement from the last continuity exercise.It gave us a wider range and added to the beauty of the final product.

   We had good actors,who are also media students,which made it easier for the shots to be done.As they have an understanding of the subject and now what is needed for the exercise.

   The use of the library,made it more realistic as we were able to film with other students there. This adds to the quality of the video.It also shows as a group we've been able to develop.

   As a group we've advanced in the area of filming and camera positions and other technical things.

WEAKNESS

    We found it difficult to do the match-on-action shot. This is probably,because we were just learning the shot.

    Most of our problems came about during the editing,as this is the stage were you either make or mare your project. This stage was hard,because we were learning to use the advanced equipment and edit at the same time. This slowed us down a little,but at the end we were able to work round it.
