Filming test shots


Today our group filmed a practise of our thriller. We had limitations as we one had one car so had to use the same one for two different scenes. Three of us were the actors and one filmed it, however we realised that tension is key for our thriller so when filming the real thing we will create suspense by non-diegetic music and emphasis on the fast paced shots. In the real thing, we will have a variety of shots, such as a low angle shot for the girl, to show she in in control and has power over the man. There will be an over the shoulder shot of the assassin shooting the man in the car and a shot reverse shot between the assassin and the man shot, with his head on the steering wheel. However we will have to think of a way to create fake blood from the man without staining the car.

Preferably we will film it when it is getting dark, to create a sense of mystery and uncertainty. We need to reconsider the age of our actors as we do not want them to look too young and immature.

We want to film in a multi-store car park so that the girl can run down the stairs so we can do cross cuts between her and the man in the car; and a match on action of her coming out of the car park stairs into the second car.
