Further Camera Work

Learning to use the dolly: 

In this exercise we had an overall demonstration of how to use the dolly, then we were allowed to go onto experiment with it and get the gist of how to use it for ourselves. This was very helpful as it allowed me to use it for myself (hands on experience).

Learning to use the jib:

Likewise with the Dolly we had an overall demonstration of how to use the Jib, this was helpful as it showed us how to put it together and then go onto use it to it's best advantages. We then went onto experiment with it ourselves. This was good as it allowed me to get the hang of using it with other people.

Recce Photo's

This shot is very good as a starting point for the thriller, as it is a good establishing shot. It allows good camera shot's to be taken, and also show's off a variety of normal activities which people will be doing in the surrounding area.

Like the above shot this one is very similar, only looking the in the opposite direction. This could be used to show off the character looking in the opposite direction - maybe allowing suspense to be added to the opening scene?

Wem town hall could also be a good place to film, as from looking at the complex from the outside of it you can't be entirely sure of what it is. So to the audience watching the thriller the could think it was a working area or could be used as a restaurant.

This could be a good area to create suspense as it is just looking down a hall, which with effect's added into it could be made to look dark and mysterious. This can be good as it will make the audience think about what could be at the end of it/around the corner.

Treatment's

- Dark Color Correction
By doing this it will allow me to correct parts of the film into how dark i want them to be. So i will then be able to correct the whole view of it. This will make the film have a 'darker' feel and make it more tense to watch.


- Subdued
By doing this it will make the filming look more old fashioned and drained from color. This will give it a spooky feel in which the viewer will be able to tell that it is a thriller from this.


- B/W Cut Away
Use the black and white cut away as a way in which to go back in time, so that you could 'visit' something which has previously happened. By doing this it will make it more obvious in that your going back in time.

- Slow Pace
By using a slow pace this will add suspense to the movie, because it will make it seem like everything is taking 'forever' to happen. So it makes you conjure up different thought's in your head to what could happen. This will get the viewer's intrigued.


- Sound
In the background of the film i am going to put some eery sound's and scratching noises, this will make the film sound scary and daunting. By adding sound effect's and music it will change the whole atmosphere of the film.

- Grainy
By adding a grainy effect to certain part's in the film it will add to the daunting feel of the movie, it will also make the viewer try and focus more on what's happening at that precis moment in it. Making them more aware of what is going on.


- Shot's: Close Ups
By adding close up's in certain section's of the movie it will make the viewer know what they have to concentrate on and it will make them think about the certain part which is going on. This will add suspense to the movie which will then make the movie come across more of a thriller.


- Hand Written text
By using hand written text in the opening credits, i can make it look quite scary. Ill do this by making the text messy and like it's been done in a rush. I could put this across by writing it on note paper and then scanning this onto the opening scene of the movie.


- Film on a light day, then go onto edit
By doing the filming on a light day, this will be good as it will allow me to edit the film to make it look dark and dull. This will be good as it will give of a frightening affect.
