Getting Ready!

Now we come to our final turn of our thriller! We had a lot of changes during planning. This is our last decision because we going to shoot on Thursday the 17th and we have to get everything sorted! Every single details of this thriller should be prepare because I think this is a really challenging idea to do, it will either turn out really cool or really bad so we try to be as ready as possible.

Luckily, on my long flight (12hours) back to England a week ago I have a chance to watch themovie Total Recall and I found something similar to our idea : ) This movie set in a future so I think it gives me a lot of idea of how my thriller going to look like. There is the scene where the main character watching the news on the floating T.V. and the format of the news look very futuristic and interesting. I think we can use that as our references to make our news convincing.

So this is the plan, we going to shoot our thriller 2 days. First of all we going to shoot our news first which is the most important part.Then we will edit the news and make it ready for another shoot of the man walking pass the screen. Most important part of  the first shoot is the script and we are working on that. We might have to get some footage of riot and tablet manufacturer in advance

We had a chance to talk to Matt and Luke too about our props and set. Over Christmas break I did some sketch on both of the set.

This is the sketch of the first set of the News Studio. I basically copied the layout from the typical news studio with simple big table two chairs and green screen on the back. However, Matt said that we should make it more futuristic because if we compare news in the past and news today, news today is a lot more casual so if we imagine news in the future it might be even more casual.





So I have a look at the news in 2000 and the news now in 2012. The main different I think is technology. There is more special techniques in 2012 such as moving animation and video conference on the background. The set is still simple in 2012 with just table and chair so I think there might not .


























This is the sketch of the flat. However, it is very confusing about how the flat going to look like. Matt said we should keep it very minimal therefore there will be no furniture in here.
