This is our production name we like this as it was in a bible and looks very biblical, I chose outcast productions as it was a good name for our group and also the religious man was an outcast so it had something to do with that also. I really liked this as it was different way of putting your credits actually in the film instead of on the macs.
With this shot the place looks old but still in use it has big doors which are unconventional but the setting looks a bit eerie and the sort of place you cold take a victim as it is out the way. We chose a country location as it was a typical place for it to happen, Kirkby underwood is not very densely populated with about 200 people living there we tough this would be better as it would not take as much effort to get permission to film and we wouldn’t have to asks peoples permission or stop filming when someone walked by like you would in a town.
Both of these places look like general building but what happen inside of the one on the left was terrible, we tried to get and eerie looking place and so we chose these building, we got permission to go into them so we could use them.
We used rosary beads as they are religious and the attacker is also religious and so they work well, in the opening you get a quick glimpse of them every so often giving them a sparing thought but always being there as they are more noticeable sometimes than others.
Our film is of the thriller genre as it has all the conventions of a thriller like the eerie back ground music the way the shot are put together. The contrast of the shot and the acting involved with the piece. The place where we take the victim and the fact that there is a victim and an attacker you wouldn’t have this in a comedy however. We didn’t use any dialogue as we though it was more powerful with music instead, we made some music on garage band which was very effective as we could cut clips and chose bits we wanted we could get the maximum effect from each clip and have the music at a climax
What makes a thriller
The main conventions of what people expect form a thriller are to experience the tension when a character is placed in a menacing situation or traps that seem impossible to escape. And another time when the audience experienced tension is when a life is threatened by character being involved in a dangerous for potentially deadly situation. The plot of a thriller is to conflict with the outside forces they like atmosphere of creepy menace and sudden violence, crime and murder characterise thrillers. They mostly are adrenaline rushing, gritty, rousing fast-paced. Thrillers mainly take place in ordinary places.
Mis-En-Scene
The mis-en-scene is what you see in the picture and the aesthetics of it and what is included in the shots. A typical mis-en-scene piece would be one with a house on a hill in a isolated location with the moon behind it and a scream coming from inside the building this would be a typical setting. This is a screen shot form the happening
This screen grab here shows tension on the actors faces which shows it is not a comedy but a thriller they are all looking a the same thing.
The industry use mis-en-scene to show a thriller at it s best they uses actors facial expressions props can also be a major part of the shot that is taken.
Mis-en-scene is a lot to do with camera shots so looking up at someone can make the audience feel inferior or the character feel powerful, in the case of jaws the camera just above water level with the non diagetic sound it is like a pov shot from the sharks perspective.
Sound
Sound play a big part of the industry to make a thriller in films the audience can feel the tension building with the non diagetic sound that is added in the happening beginning is a good one to look at as you feel like something has happened already some other ones are jaws when the non diagetic music you now jaws is close. We made our sound on garage band and added it over the film it was conventional music for thriller, we didn’t have anything to jazzy or western it was just like thriller music with a dramatic pause in the middle.
Editing
Editing is also used in the industry for fast action car chases fast editing is used flicking between shot really quickly in second blocks. In thriller like physco the camera shot are between the knife the killer and the victim. We used fade between the shots.
We also had a story boards that we made so we knew the running order of the shots and so the actors new what they were doing.
