Final Film - Thriller Opening - Hood

this is our final construct.

Mood Board

We have used the image of the 15 age rating, as this is the age that is appropriate for the viewer.

We have used the black hoodie as this is stereotypically linked with youths of today and this does not reveal the face of the character.

We have used the image of the kitchen knife as it is a good primitive weapon. The knife is iconic in the thriller genre so we are going to use it to annotate violence.

We have used the image of the torch as its a good source of low key lighting and is a great way of creating shadows and its a good way to build a tense atomsphere.

We have used the metal fence as it symbolises containment and security.

We have used the image of the dead body as this is a great shot of a dead victim and it only reveals the body of the victim.

We used the picture of the street light as it is a great way of building suspense as the face of the character is'nt revealed only, as  the viewer can only see the hoodie from behind.

We have used the location shot of dundrey view as its a isolated location but has a great view over the city and at night it's a very dark place with a well lit city as the back drop.

We have used the image of the hospital wrist band as this is the way we are going to identify our suspect as this can be used to identify him.

We have used the image of the blood as this connotates death.

We have also used the image of the roof of the school building as this could be one of the possible locations.

We have used the image of the warning sign as it will be on the fence and will portray warning to the victim before the murder.

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

It’s important to do a risk assessment because it means we can highlight and avoid possible risks whilst shooting.

One of the main risks whilst shooting our opening to our movie was that we used a knife. Whilst using the knife we made sure that we were being supervised by a responsible adult to make sure that we were using the knife safely.

We also ensured we knew where the first aiders were on the site and our teachers were able to supervise us. The first aiders that were on hand were Mrs trail and Mrs Cron and were only downstairs in the building.
