Benjamin Yarwood - We have decided to use the element of low key lighting as we feel that it will create a more eerie atmosphere compared to what type of atmosphere, high key lighting would create. Low key lighting is said to be conventional the thriller genre, as it creates a sense of mystery and suspense as the audience do not really know what is there. We expect the audience to feel suspense because what the audience can see is quite limited, so they don't really know what could happen in the darkness and lead them to feel shocked at specific moment after the suspense has built up.
Wai-lum - A second element we have decided to do is using tense music for one of our non diegetic sounds as this would be able to create suspense for the audience. Therefore making the audience engaged with the film and make them keep watching. This would take place when the victim sees the killer and notices that something is not right and starts running away from the killer, as he walks towards them. We expect the audience to feel shocked when the killer is shown because the audience will react to a sound, as they would have not expected it. The audience will feel suspense when slow music is being played because it is slowed down and could lead to something which would shock them.
Michelle Woods - A third element we have decided to use is a point of view shot, as this will help the audience build and create a relationship with the character. This will take place when the victim is running through the forest and the camera movement will be jerky, giving the sense of chaos and urgency to the audience also making them engaged. We expect the audience to relate to the character because they can see what the victim sees, meaning they can see what she's seeing and feel her initial fear.
We do expect our target audience to enjoy and be shocked by our audience as we think we have included the best elements for our narrative, to make it the best for our target audience. We did incorporate each others ideas, but also considering if it would be good for our narrative and visualising what it would look like, when it comes to the point of creating it.
I think our story board is good, the issues we may come across my include having permission to film near Repton, so we will ask permission to see if we could film there. Other issues may include getting the actors together at a time, when they can all make it as they may have other plans.
As a group we did find this useful, as it has helped us communicate more, put forward our own ideas and help us make sure it will be the best it can be. I think, creating the group storyboard has helped with getting an idea of what our opening sequence will look like, even though it may not be exactly the same.
You have explained the purpose of a storyboard but not mentioned enough on why you have created a group one. You have mentioned ideas included within your sequence but have not mentioned where they have come from (which group member).
ReplyDeleteTo improve your post you need to:
1) Mention where the ideas mentioned came from (which group member) and have one for each person (four)
2) Explain WHY you expect the audience to react/feel a certain way because of the convention/idea used
3) Expand upon your summary by explaining how you think creating a group storyboard has helped improve your sequence
4) Read through and check clarity of work, spelling etc.
You have provided a good explanation of where ideas have come from and how you might overcome some restrictions; you need to include pictures of your storyboard and provide a summary under each page stating what you can see, micro-elements used and why.
ReplyDeleteCheck spelling etc. and clarity of work
