Write up of shoot day

First of all, we gathered up our props. This included fake blood, a car, tape, the right clothing for the antagonists & protagonists, fake nails and various other equipment needed for the shoot. We started off by filming the boot scene where Pip (the protagonist) is looking up out of the boot of the car towards the antagonists. We then drove to go scene the jogging scene and the shots which accompanied the scene. We then went to Adam's basement where we would be filming the torture scene to drop off our stuff before going to get some lunch. We then filmed the scene we were all looking forward to, the torture scene. We tried to think of as many inventive ways as possible to torture Pip and we succeded in trying to make it look as realistic as possible. We all contributed our ideas, helped direct and hold the sound boom and it was very much a team effort.

Account of Locations required

For the thriller we need several locations. Most importantly we needed a room where the girl was going to get tortured. Adam, our media teacher, suggested that we could use a room in his house. We willingly agreed and Millie and I went to go look around the room. We decided it was perfect but decided to take a few pictures to show the others in our group. We all liked it so we agreed on shooting the torture scene there. We also needed a road to shoot the jogging scene. We looked around Ewhurst and discovered the perfect road. Again, Millie and I took pictures and showed the rest of the group and we all it decided it was a good choice. Finally, we needed a car. This didn't really count as a location but we needed to take a shot from inside the boot and it was still important for us to find a suitable car. Roy kindly offered his car so we used his.

What institution would produce the film

The film would probably be produced by an independent production company as it is not an obvious blockbuster. But, Quentin Tarintino started of indie while making it into the main stream so he has opened up the gap for films such as this to make it in the buisness therefore a big production company may get a glimps of this and decide to take the film up itself.

Target audience

The target audience for our thriller will be teenage boys to middle aged adults. It will appeal to the imaginative minds of teenagers while appealing to men up to there middle ages and of all classes. Every man has a sick mind to a certain degree so they will enjoy the torturing out of their own twisted nature.

The chosen idea

The group which I was in was assigned with Ben's idea. My group consisted of Millie, Ben and Danielle. Ben's idea was this,

A women is going on a jog. She is listening to her Ipod and some cheery music is playing. The music is diagetic since she is listening to it as well. After turning down a corner you suddenly see a fist come towards the camera and a shot of her falling down. You see two gangsters who you assume knocked her out. There is a POV shot from inside a boot of a car from the girls perspective who is looking at the gangsters. There is then an over shoulder shot from the gangsters perspective looking down at the girl. The next scene is the girl strapped up in a chair inside a warehouse type place with the gangsters looking at her. They switch on some music and the song happens to be the same song as the one the girl was listening to earlier. The scene progresses with the gangsters doing some imaginative torturing using normal garden tools. They kill the girl in the end.
