SET DESIGN

Storyboard

                                      

  This is story board of what we going todo in our thriller. First of all it will start with
- the guy come into the flat and turn on the TV.
-The TV first shows the music channel.
-He then change the channel to extreme sport.
- Then he change it to news.

- He takes of his jacket and hang it on the wall
- The shot then cut into the T.V showing the  
interview.
- Then it cut back to the flat again. Showing the guy walking to the table and put the flower in the bin.
- He then open the water bottle and pour it into his cup.

- The shot then cut back to the TV
- Close up shot of the news reader remind everyone to take the pill
- Abit overlap in time, cut back to the man watching  T.V.
-Close up of his hand taking the pill out.
- Mid shot of him taking the pill. 



 

-Close up of his face taking the pill.
-Big close up of his mouth
-He drinking water from the cup
- The tiltle shows at the bottom of the cup which make it look like pill.

Casting

Audience research

Pilot feed back

In today lesson, we show our pilot to other people in the class and this is the feed back we get.
- People don't understand how riots and drugs how do they put together. The idea of the thriller is  confusing.
- Lack of variety of shots, stuck with the same shot, boring
- Should try editing between outside and inside the T.V.
- People don't understand the story.
- The shadow doesn't work. It is too confusing.
- Should cut off the riot because it confuse the audience
-The audience cannot tell that it is set in the future.

This comments actually helps a lot! Now we have some idea how to develop my thriller
First of all in our real one the techniques and the set will looks a lot better so what we have to do is
- Creates some more shot therefore there is more variety and also it is not too boring for the audience to  watch
- The Idea of inside and out side T.V. shot is a really good idea. We should use that as well.
- The riot at first should be explain clearly so people not confuse
- Set and props details have to sell the point that we are in 2020 or other alternative put 2020 on the  screen.





This is the photo of the focus group.
I actually learn a lot from this lesson. Both from commenting on other people works and listen to other people comments. It is useful to listen to other people comments and develop from it. Also be able to pick up and describe what we like and don't like in other people film is useful as well. I think this is another skill that I will be develop through making thriller. :)

Filming an example

In today lesson we have been filming an example of our thriller and unfortunately we face a lot of problems :( First of all we have to record the video that we going to use as a channel on the T.V. and put it all together. It seems to be a very easy task but it take longer than I think because of the technology problems like transfer the video from Iphone to computer and from computer to another computer and to the projector. Sometimes I wish I can do everything by my hands like chops or the video up by scissor and put it together by glue. 
That is alot easier to do (for me) 

Next we have to film the news bit. We got all the dialogue sort out. However, we have no location to film it so we end up film it outside because there was too noisy inside the room and because our crew is not a professional news reader we end up laughing instead of reading news so we choose an alternative method of doing voiceover over one of the BBC news clip. It works better I guess (still look a bit funny but better than the outdoor news reading)

So..we put all the clips together and put it on the projector. Now another problem comes. The projector is too small so we cannot really film the whole body so the camera is too close and we cannot really see anything and it doesn’t look like what it should lool like. To be honest with you I feel like giving up but I guess when we fix all of the problem we face now it is going to be better in the real one.....
