First round planning

in today’s media studies lesson we started to plan our thriller films, there were many ideas that came to play in our group discussions for example the title that we choose, which is called “LUCID”, we choose this name to be our title because the word is obviously known for being a clear perception and understanding of something which links to our plot as it is very deceptive. The plot is about a man who reads numbers off a device and they indicate who he is supposed to kill. In the opening the audience will establish a house, prop which is the device and the characters. He is pleasant to his family, until the device goes off, at which the point he leaves promptly, taking a knife from the kitchen and kills a young innocent girl.

The genre we decided our opening to be is an action thriller, as it has something to do with death and secrete works; hence the sub genre is action. There are many sounds that will be employed within the thriller such as a Foley (sounds done by editing) such as the sounds of knives and the sound of doors screeching, we will also have a sound track which will be the main base of sound as it would probably be used throughout the action thriller. We will also use environmental sounds, such as sounds of the garden. Of course there would also be a dialogue which is very important (conversation between two or more actors).

There are many things that inspired us as a group to have a plot that is so dramatic, most of this came from the box and the day of the jackai. Our schedule is going to be in Thursday’s lesson.

The locations vary as we have the exterior which is the garden as it is outside and the inferior which is the house/kitchen and bedroom). The props that we are going to use in our film is a knife, device, fake blood and regular clothing that emphasises suspiciousness and raise questions to the viewer.
