Preliminary Task 1 - Thriller sequence

 Hi guys,

We are heading offsite to to gets some awesome footage for your first Thriller sequence next Monday!

This is going to be completely spontaneous as we won't be able to do a reccie before the date. You will have 30 minutes once there to work out how you will use the space to create a 1 minute sequence of SUSPENSE.

You will need to do the following;

1. Plan a sequence that creates suspense in the audience 

- the sequence of events can be the opening, the middle or the ending of a Thriller movie

- the sequence doesn't need to have dialogue

- you will need at least 2 people to act in it - so plan who will act and who will film

2. Get a series of shots that can be used in editing your sequence back at school

3. Bring any extra props, costumes or extra things that you feel could add value to your filming

4. You will need to take notes during the process (or behind the scenes footage of commentary) and either write or create a second short film clip explaining your learning from your planning, production and execution of the filming

5. You will have 3 lessons at school to edit - adding in music, sound FX and any other FX you'd like to, to make your short sequence maximum suspense-impact.

6. Your film sequence will be marked out of 20

10 marks - production value (how well was the project executed - how excellent and/ or realistic is it)

10 marks - how well you utilised Thriller codes and conventions
