Crime scene

This is the location in which the man is attacked by the group of youths.

Lighting 2

The lighting for our piece is going to be important, this is because it is in a dark place so we are going to have to use some sort of artificial light in order to see the character during the opening scene, the light must have an urban effect and as well as this it must show that the place is intimidating to the general public.

Props 2

Cigarettes and Beer- The group of youths will have cigarettes and beers to add to the element of fear and to show that they are misbehaving in the local area.

The shopping- The man will have a shopping bag, this is because he is on his way home from the shop, he drops his shopping as the youths assault him.

Ipod/ Docking station- The group of lads will have music placying from and ipod and dock. This will show the effect that they have on the surrounding area.

Costumes 2

Costumes are very important in telling the viewer a bit more about the characters.

The Gang- The gang will be wearing hoodies and either trackies or jeans, some of them will wear a cap, the theme of their clothing will be urban and modern.

The man- The man will be wearing resonably smart clothing, to show that he is of better wealth than the gang. He will probably be wearing a smart jacket and trousers, also he may be wearing a smart shirt.

Conventions 2

There are many conventions of a thriller that we would like to use in our opening scene, I am just explaing a few of them.

 

This is a picture from the film scum, it is an example of how we would like the man to be looking up at the group as he is thrown to the ground.

This shot is taken from the classic film The Krays, this is a very good example of an over the should shot that we can use when the man is talking to the youths.

This is the sort of grime scene that suits our film so i thought that this establishing shot will show the scale of the interest. Music is also an important factor of a thriller and this shot shows the type of music we are going for.

This is from the film Tyson, it is seen in the opening credits and it gives us an example of what we can do when editing our piece, for example in this shot we can see that they have blacked out the background which makes mike tyson stand out in the shot.

Certification

With every film there is a certification, the bbfc assign every film with a certificate for example the dark knight is a 12a.
We have decided that our is going to be given a rating of 15, this is because it involves violence, strong language and would not suit the viewing of a younger person.

 

No-one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video work.

A film that is similar to our film is Adulthood, this also has a film rating of 15 for the same reasons as ours.
