Sunday we officially started filming our thriller with the help of some friends.
Everyone was assigned their rolls Ben (at the front) being the runner, Dalton and Ashley being the two government teenagers and Ben (at the back) helping with sound while I was on camera. Although the weather was against us we shot from 11 till 3 and got quite a lot done. However we did receive quite a lot of strange looks from passers by.
To tie in with our Pitch video here's a copy of our written pitch with all our plans and details. However this is not our first pitch. We did our pitch twice as our original plans needed adapting. Hopefully the video of it will be uploaded soon once we've edited it a bit.
Here is Mine and Ben's Pitch video for our thriller, well actually its our two pitch videos. The first pitch was our first ideas and plans for our story however once we had spoken to Sir we found a couple or problems. At the end of the pitch we then decided to have a few days to alter and improve our plans hence the second pitch video. We've now got our ideas down and are getting deep into the pre-production process.
While scrolling through some form of social media (I can't exactly remember which) I came across this helpful little picture. This is a basic guideline on the layout of a film poster which I've found quite useful. Although we're not required to make a film poster for this course I'd certainly like to give it a go at some point with the help of this.
For our Thriller we're wanting to shoot around Chesterfield Town. Above is our video looking around the streets we intend to shoot on and looking at the two possible car parks we could use. We have decided to use the second car park as we felt it suited the style we'd like. It didn't have barriers and the top had lower walls adding a city effect. Its also older and a bit more run down creating the dystopian theme we desire. The second car park is also less used than the first so it's more likely to be empty at the top floor when we need to film. We gained permission from the car park security to film in it as long as we told them every time we we're filming so that they could ensure we were safe.
