StroryBoards

This a rough draft of my storyboard as i have not added in the type of shots and the timing of each shot as i just wanted to get an idea of how my opening was going to run and what was actually going to happen in the opening, i will update my storyboard closer to the time of shooting when i have a better idea of how i want my opening to run.

Thriller Mood Board

I decided that my mood board would reflect my opening rather than the genre of thriller as i felt that it gave me more of understanding of my opening and i feel it has more impact with how my openin should have on its audience. My mood board is in black and white to really showcase the eerie feeling of my thriller opening has, it shows the different aspects my opening has. The trees and forests show the setting and the pictures of the girl and a game of hide and seek show the story, and the typewriter also shows this as well. With the word Guardian in the middle because it is the title of my thriller movie and it shows how the word Guardian has an impact on the opening, the reason i decided to call it Guardian is shown in my film treatment.

Film Treatment

My Film Treatment is a basic outline of what my film is and it helps to explain my opening, this really helps to guide me in my filming for my opening as it gives me something to aim for so my opening actually makes sense and it has a meaning. The story could develop or change closer to filming if along with the storyboard certain concepts of the opening could change which will effect the story to suit our target audience or the opening we want doesn`t work then we will have to rethink my film treatment, certain things that could be changed are the ages of the characters to suit our actors and the actual story of the parents could change to make it easier for the opening to make sense.

We chose the name Guardian as it just one word and more like a statement as it is strong and bold and can have a lot of subtext that a audience member can think about and because of that people would be intrested and want to come and watch it and thats the impact we want to make.

We aimed our film for late teen (15-21) with a certficate of 15 so we had Kerry as aged 19 so the audiance can relate to her whether they have younger siblings or they have gone through a similar thing to the characters in the film.

Overall the film treatment really shows where the opening of our film will go if continued and will help keep an aim when filming of what the storyline is meant to be and we don`t go to far away from it.

These results show that it is 50/50 on where the most enjoy watching thriller movies and that helps me when making the opening that it appeals when watching at the cinema and at home, also the majority likes a thriller movie in colour so that will be used in the opening. The type of thriller people like and the components of a thriller movie people like are quite varied but with action and mystery as the most enjoyed we incorporated into what the actual whole film would be about.
