Final Film story board

I'm very pleased with the final outcome of my film. I put in a lot of effort and it payed off in the end.



This is a story board of all the scenes that are in my film. All the components that made up film film slotted together well and i look forward to making another in my A level year... I would also like to thank CRAIG(my media teacher) for all the encouragement and support that he gave to me whilst making this film.

Editing my film with the new shots

When editing my film i a found it a lot more enjoyable the second time round as i felt i new what i was doing and therefore it didn't take so long. I also like the new camera shots as they were a lot more intimate to watch and had a better view of the characters. I found that the first time round i had hardly used a variety of shot sizes, where as the second time i was more confident using the camera and was able to experiment with it.

1st attempt of making my film

I made my film with the intention of it being my final copy, however once i had completed it, i found the narrative very boring to watch so i decided to include another character which changed the story completely. I also added parallel action as it created a feeling of fast pace.

Shot lists



This shot list was very useful when i came to the editing suite as i had an idea of where abouts each shot was on the tape, how long it lasted for and the type of shot it was. I am pleased i chose to create this as it made my life a whole lot easier.

Brainstorm Ideas For my Film

















I generated a few ideas when i first looked into the thriller genre. I came up with a few, however, decided to go with a completely different idea after researching more thriller films. Once i had done this research, i felt more confident about the thriller genre and therefore came up with a suitable narrative of my own.

Initial Story Board

This story board shows the original plan for my film, however after shooting and editing I realized that there were a few problems with the continuity. I also found the narrative of the film quite boring and slow moving. It did not resemble the thriller genre that i had researched and therefore i decided to change it and re-shoot most of my film.

- Universal pictures
- Titles are in a cold blue and white colour, setting the tone of the movie from the very start

Mise-en-scene

- Driving car, raining, photographs, a gun
- guy lying in bed as if he's just woken up from a bad dream
- when guy wakes up looks sweaty and distressed

Camera Shots

- Hand Held camera, very jolted shots
- Drops in and out focus
- close up shot of guy - aerial shot, showing him looking quite vulnerable.
- hand held camera pans across the room showing him walk into a bathroom

- Very dim reating a silhouetteof guy sitting on a bed

Editing


- shots chop and change and flash up on the screen quickly
- boice over, faint voices, voices in background
- Scene changes on the sound of gun shot, creating a dramatic effect
- lots of cuts, making the viewer feel uneasy whilst watching the opening, also showing the charcters disorientation and confusion

Sound/Music

- Music goes over the credits, eery, cold music creating suspense
- gun shot
- quite no music when scene starts
- different voices drifting in and out echoing
before the guy wakes up the sound gets louder and faster making the sound of the gun shot more powerful
- After the gun shot, it's very quite, creating a contrast to the very opening of the film
