Final Shot List

This is final shot list for our final film. We decided to use many different shots to show the potential of the film  and show what we had learnt over the past year. At the beginning of the film opening we decided to use a few close up shots in order to show as much emotion on the characters as possible, and also to show as much detail of the props (CCTV, NEWSPAPERS, ETC). We decided to use a lot of long shots towards the end of the film in order to get the full use of the setting and emotion in the film. Our group didn't just have long shots though we changed from a long shot of the main character (Abbie) in the mirror to a close up of her doing her teeth with the villain in the background to a low angle shot back to a long shot this showed how the villain had control in the scene and showed his power towards the child.

Inital Shot List

This is our inital shot list we chose these shots as we thought they would make the film look proffessional and match well with the genre and story.

Comparing Psychological Thrillers To Our Ideas For Our Film

Montage:

In this video clip of "Dawn of the dead"(2004)  there is a montage in the opening scene, we took inspiration from this. We took the idea of a build up in sound and editing effects which would effect the audience and build tension. We wanted to build up an atmosphere and after watching this clip we realised that a montage would be a perfect way of doing so, however we did also think that a montage could make our film opening look a little to like a trailer and therefore had to re-evaluate whether or not we thought we could pull it off without making our opening into a trailer. To make our montage different we thought we could add lots of different clips into it, including news reports, the girl going missing and other clips relating to the genre.

After watching "28 days later" (2002)'s opening scene our group noticed that they had used CCTV to show a character walking. we took inspiration from this as we thought it was different and would look really effective in a montage with the character jump cutting so the audience would be unsure to what is going on.

Titles:

After looking at both the "black swan" (2010) and "Salt"(2010) our group decided to go for a plain title which would match our genre. Both "Black swan" and "salt" contributed to the ideas for our main film. "Black Swan" is a psychological thriller that had a massive hit in cinemas all over England which is what we want our film to do, whereas "Salt" has a similar story line and the same narrative as our film.
