Storyboard- Planning

Online PowerPoint version- in case the slide share format is unable to be seen

Evaluation- what I learnt
From doing this storyboard, it gave us the finalised overview of what our opening sequence will include as well as showing us what the main shots is needed to be done to prove the Thriller worth of our opening sequence. This storyboard taught us the importance of proving our creative skills in our teaser trailer therefore we hope to use our time effectively in order to produce a worthy, satisfying Psychological-Thriller opening sequence.

Planning- Script

Evaluation- what I learnt
From this lost diary entries, this will give me the chance to know what the voice over of the 'Diary Entries' would be and this allowed to have a USP through the format of the script as well as the catchphrase 'The exclusive limited edition' which helps display the thriller-tastic feeling of the opening sequence.

Planning- Prop and Costume

Evaluation- what I learnt
From doing this props and costume research, we learned the importance of clothing and how this plays an significant role of portraying a certain feeling. As we want to incorporate realism in our Thriller film, we think it is more appropriate for the characters to wear casual wear especially if we want to portray teenagers in a particular way as well as attracting the teen target market as they will relate to the characters.

I also did not write the props and costume planning digitally as props and costumes will not hold a significant role in my Psychological- Thriller opening sequence. But, this will only play a significant role when J, the female antagonist, will be wearing a dress which is what she will say in one of her paragraphs. Similarly, in the killing scenes, W will have a cloth on top of his face which will help convey the theme of innocence and purity as the cloth is white.

American companies

Evaluate- what I learnt
Through this research of American companies, I learnt the importance of distribution and marketing a media product for the audience. This task also helped me know what types of films tend to be enjoyed by the audience and why they would like a particular media product over another type of product. This task had also helped me know that American films tend to be shown in British cinemas over other foreign films due to the close relationship the US has with the UK. So, it can be said that globalisation and 'Americanisation' has impacted the film industry and if I would want a successful film, I should display conventional American features.
