Recces

This is one of the locations we'd like to film out thriller when the female protagonist is having a flashback of being mugged. This long road in Stone is usually empty which adds to the "deserted" feel we're trying to create in our thriller. In this large space filled with nothing but trees and cliffs, the protagonist in our film would feel inferior, paranoid and vulnerable

The lakes at Bluewater Shopping Center could be another possible location for our thriller film when the protagonist is remembering the event that triggered her anxiety.


One of the bedrooms in my house is going to be used as the female protagonist's room where the majority of the thriller opening would be filmed. We plan to arrange the items on the desk neatly and in some sort of excessive clean order so the audience can fully understand how heavily affected the protagonist is by previous events.


Problematic Studios opening titles sequence



To create this title sequence. I (Liam) took many screen shots of the gears at different movements and the spanner coming in at different times. I then compiled these images into Final Cut to make them into almost a stop-motion video. I then placed the video into after effects to add the lens flare.

Scene Walkthrough Map Script/Timeline

  1. Problematic Studios logo

  2. Black screen (Scream builds ups up then dead silence as it transitions to next scene)

  3. (Ticking clock in background) looking at desk

(Every time the clock ticks the scene changes)

  4. (Clock ticks and scene changes) looks at bookshelf

  5. (Clock ticks and scene changes) looks at stacked boxes

  6. (Clock ticks and scene changes) looks at girl

  7. girls staring at ceiling

  8. girl gets out of bed

  9. girl walks to mirror

10. girl looks at self in mirror (Triggers hyperreality sequence)

11.  As she starts her daily routine, everything she does triggers a flashback/hyper-reality

12. Brief flashbacks of her being mugged, assaulted and being terrified

13. Girl attempts to leave the house but has a panic attack due to continuous flashbacks and hyper-reality, unable to determine what's real and what's manifested


 


COSTUME RESEARCH.

Female Protagonist: The protagonist will have two different sets of clothes, pone for reality, and another for the hyper reality state.



When the female protagonist is having flashbacks/switching back and forth from hyper-reality, she'll be wearing clothes that make her stand out as an individual and clearly being the main character
Male thief/mugger: We'll dress this character in dark colours and urban clothes to show he's a character who's trouble and is capable of wrong doings. Stereotypical clothing for a thug/thief/criminal

ASSET LIST.

To prepare for the filming of our thriller, iv made a asset list so we know what we are going to need in our thriller before we shoot;

- knife

the knife is the only used prop that we have, it will be used by the mugger that will be seen in the hyperreality shots (the protagonists visions).

- clock
- books
- mirror
- neatly stacked objects
- bed

this set of props are to be used in the protagonists bedroom, every prop will be neatly placed and stacked to express the protagonists OCD triggered by the incident.

Parity Filming Process

On Thursday 28th November, our production group filmed our Parity shooting in the male toilets in Goals. We managed to film this in the space of an afternoon. We did a recce before hand were we just filmed a couple of shots off of our shot list that we had previously made. We had written down the camera shots that we were going to use, and had time scales written down to list the events in chronological order.
