In my opinion

I think filming went extremly well i think it was better than what i expected and the locations and props helped this to make it even better.

What Happened during filming.

ppenFinished filming yesterday on Wednesday 8th December most of our filming went as planned and some ideas were changed, as we filmed at the cathedral we took shots of the outside of the cathedral of the gargoyles and architecture to show the mystery and the archaicness of the church we filmed inside the church as well to show it has some evil essences to it. and because the church was only lit by candles and dim light is gave it a dark tone to the filming. We filmed the statues and the stain glass windows and the font and the top to show all the architecture also. Once this was done we started our actul filming this was taken place out side this church this was because this was a very nice area out side the church and the weather was good as it was raining it was just a dim day.
After filming at the cathedral we went back to jacobs to film some scenes there was an extra scene added as we has some problems with probs we filmed jacob getting ready for the wedding, the problem was as rebekah wore hair extensions for the wedding scene we would of had to use them for the woodland field scene but after we did her hair the hair extenions didnt look good like before so to carry on and still making the filming look good we had to have a scene were the bride because of her anger she cut her hair short as rebekah pretents to cut her hair but she is only taking the hair extensions out with using sissors as a props to show this. At jacobs we also do rebekah's make-up such as we put mascara down her face to give the impressions she has been crying.
As the indoor scene is finshed we move to our last scene which is in both a field and a woodland area. First shot consist of becky coming towards the camera with the knife and as we have two cameras on in placed on a coat and is look at the woods as rebekah runs over the camera we she here feets and snow is flicked up as she runs. As we enter the wood rebekah stabs a tree with her anger and jacobs is stood behind her as she gives up in trying to find him and because of this she represents this with a scream!

location

The location of a filming will be taking place in peterborough in the cathedral grounds this is where the wedding will take place.

Once the wedding scene is finshed we will head back to bourne because the area around peterborough doesnt contain any fields or woodland areas so will head back for bourne to use some of the fields or woodland areas to make the filming look more realistic. In a field such as this one.

Distraught bride

Our first idea is called distraught bride this idea is about a bride who has been left at the alter as the groom runs out with second thoughts leaving the bride left in a distress mind set this causes the bride to roam around searching for the groom to seek her revenge as she hunts for him which a knife.

The accurate story line is:

The bride is panting as she is searching for her husband to be this would be in a woodland or field area this will create feelings of mystery about where she is and what her feelings are! The scene from the woodland area fades to black to show mystery to show a flashback in this flashback the bride entering the church occurs she starts to walk up to the alter , the camera cuts to the groom getting ready as he stares into the mirror. Soon enough the bride realises the groom isn't coming and she sees him run out of the church avoiding the wedding  as he runs out the church  the Bride throws her rose bouquet on the floor this symbolises her feelings as how angry/sad she is.

The film then goes back to the present day when you see the roses are now dead this shows the viewer conventions such as death or connotations such as blood by the colour of the roses, this is a very important shot as it shows her emotion so it would be shown as a close up. As we see the bride is in the woodland area or field which was shown at the start she is still searching for the groom to get her revenge for leaving her.

In her range she can't find him she stabs a tree in anger and screams as she can't find him this would fade into a cross blur effect and by doing a over the shoulder camera shot  as the bride walks away the groom will be seen a while behind her but only his silhouette is seen by the camera but the bride doesn't see his appearance the camera will us a effect and fade into black to show the end and to show a cliffhanger and to show mystery.

This idea will be a classification of 15 this is because of the weapons used such as knife there are conventions such as death these have been presented by the dying roses that have been thrown on the floor.
The representation of these characters would be wedding clothing but once the bride is hunting for the groom she has slit her dress so her dress has loads of holes in people may infer this means that she is empty and hurt.

Props Needed!

Props we need to make the filming look more effective in a real wedding the groom has a corsage and the bride as a bouquet in this case we are using roses (red and peach with white flowers) we need to bouquet an alive set of roses and a dead set. We need a brides outfit we are using a modern short creamy dress with cream woolly tights and a Vail to represent the bride and the broom in a suit with a sliver tie. The next prop is a knife this is for the bride so it can show the conventions of death, we also have confetti to show a convention of a wedding. A prop we are using that isn't being shown is tiger balm this is to help the bride cry on cue because it the ingredients to encourage the persons eyes to water the the balm is rubbed underneath them.
Make-up is also needed such as eyeliner when she crys after the eyeliner and mascara will be down her face to show she has cryed this will also show mystery we will also need to bring a comb this so we can increase the size of the brides hair to make her look like she is angry and gone crazy!

Media ideas and questionnaire results.

Over the pass week our group: Rebekah Willcox, Jacob Wright and I have been planning our thriller openings. last week we did our media pitch this turned out well because we had everything planned out and had what we had to say on queue cards ready.

Before in advance when had to find out from the pubic what kind of things entertained them when watching a thriller. We handed out 31 questionnaire to students around school from ages of 11-16 and to adults to get a different perspective on what people like and look for in a film. There were 12 questions which were:

Horror    Action      Comedy     Other

Our media questionnaire helped influenced us on what idea to go into this is because we had to research thrillers as a whole and our thriller opening has to be what people like in a movie. So the media questionnaire helped us because it made us realise that a lot of people prefer romance to thrillers so our idea has a hint of hidden romance to the genre. When the question what genre would you mix with a thriller if it was a hybrid genre most people answered action then horror we have gone with the audiences idea of horror to create conventions such as mystery and sadness. The music is a key importance to a movie especially in a thriller in the options of intense, dramatic, horror and other most of the respondents said they prefer intense music in a horror this is because it creates a sense of suspense, also a lot people agreed with thrillers being taken place in a graveyard some of our will be shot in graveyard or there will be shots of the graveyard as we are shooting in church this will create connotations of death by seeing gravestones.

Three pitch ideas
Distraught bride

our first idea is called the distraught bride this story line is about a bride who gets left at alter and seeks out revenge on the groom with a knife conventions such as death by using dead flowers and weapons such as the knife and the film would contain areas of dispression this will be shown by showing a close up of the brides face of a tear running down her face this would be an 15 because of the conventions the conventions of death and horror. There would be no dialoge this is because just having music will make it more intense. 
the sound would be a scary sound somthing which can make you tell that the scene isnt right and makes your think what is going to happen next? the mise-en-scene would be settings like the church and the woodland area to create a mysetrious view of the actors.

The deal
 Our  next idea is called the deal. This idea involves props such as drugs, guns, knifes and gangsters. The plot is about about drug dealers and how someone is going to die as for revenge as someone has not paid hundreds of pounds to a drug dealer.

this may contain some chase scene and conventions such as death and connotations such as blood. shots would be used such as close up mid shot, long shots. and point of view shots 

this would also be a classification of 15 this is because has conventions such as blood and knifes and guns. 
The representation of these characters would be dark clothing and hooded characters this is to show secrecy of the drug deals.

Is it really paradise?The third idea is, Is it really paradise? This is about a couple that go on a honeymoon which is set out to be perfect and as they are walking down the street the man hears a scream. with the intentions of finding out who this was he goes to look who it is this has been planned that the husband leaves the women alone so they can be separated she is left waiting for hours for her husband be as expected he never returns. But there is a shadow lurking in the corner ready to take the man creates the disappearance of her husband.

This would be a classification of 12 this is because it doesn't have a foul language or any gore scenes, but weapons may be used such as a gun.The film would also only be a 12 because of reasons such as the darkness and mysteriousness.
The honeymooners representation would be in light colour representing happiness but the murder would be wearing dark clothes to indicate mystery.
