Filming

We planned to film in a university room or a hotel room, however these were both unavailable so we improvised and used Beth's bedroom and a music room found in college. We followed the storyboard and shot list accurately with the exception of a shot of the window for the title sequence and a shot of Beth looking at her wrists while Ollie is torturing Vincent. We could not include these shots because we didn't have an suitable window and the shot of Beth couldn't be included within the sequence due to continuity problems. We decided not to use diagetic sound because we thought that non-diegetic sound would make the thriller more dramatic and realistic as a film opening due to unprofessional acting.

Animatic storyboard

For the animatic storyboard the whole group came up with ideas for what to do in our thriller. Beth and Ollie then created a storyboard on paper and went over it in pen. When this was completed Nicola and Vincent took pictures of it with a stills camera and we uploaded it into final cut. Beth and Nicola resized the individual pictures to 3 seconds long each. After we had to edit the sound track to fit with the sequences we uploaded it into final cut.

Locations

For the opening sequence shots 2,3,4,5 we will either use a hotel room or a university room. For shot numbers 15,16 and 17 of the main sequence we will use an empty room. All the rest of the shots can be filmed anywhere.
