Test Shots

                                  Killer                                                        Computer Hacker

HARRY - 07716 411032

These are the test shots with our possible actors portraying their characters. Harry, who plays the Killer, is photographed from a low angle in order to make him seem more menacing and suitable for his character. He is photographed in a smaller space in which his body takes up most of the shot, which makes him seem bigger, powerful and important.

STEPHEN - 07904 006046

Stephen, who portrays the Computer Hacker, is photographed from a high angle in order to make him seem less menacing and more vulnerable. He is also alone on the bridge which gives a feeling of isolation and sets the scene for our thriller opening.

Scene Walkthrough

Starts with a shady character talking to the assassin. They both nod at each other and look up and the camera cuts to the hacker.

There is then a long shot of the the hacker to show his solidarity.

There is then a tracking shot of Stephen walking through thebuilding into the room with the computer where he will complete his hack.

It cuts to Harry walking down the stairs near the room where Stephen is. He breaks in through the window before Stephen walks in.

There is then a panning shot of Harry holding a gun to Stephens head and making him walk.

There is then a close up of Stephens face when he is made to sit down by the computer.

Finally, gunshot.

Recces (Location Ideas)

We have looked at these locations in london to try and decide where we should shoot the scenes before the killer kills the hacker. these are good places for the hacker to be walking through because the city creates a feeling of ambiance but he will be on his own which shows he's on a mission to do something.  Soho would make a good place for both long shots, panning shots and tracking shots to show the background well. bermondsey station has a mysterious looking walkway with the railings which when dark would create a tense atmosphere. The staircase would be a good place for the killer to be walking up/down because it would be obvious he's following him.

Animatic

We used screen shots from our practice Thriller Opening then added titles and a thriller soundtrack in order to show what we plan to do in our final Thriller Opening. We added extra images that we would like to include in our final Thriller Opening but were not able to do in our practice Thriller Opening due to lack of time.

Storyboard

Our storyboard comes from the practice Thriller Opening that we made for our thriller 'The Code'. It shows the progress of our opening and also includes images that we would like to include in our final Thriller Opening such as a close-up of Stephen entering the lift and a close-up of Stephen's face to show his characters emotions because this will help create suspense and a sense of impending doom.

Mood Board for Killer

The reason I am wearing all black is because black symbolises rebelion. My character is rebellious because he sneaks into places and does whatever he wants to get what he wants.

Mood Board for Computer Hacker

I have gone for a more smart look to emphasise that it is business related. However I have made it more stylish to appeal to the young adults of today and show that the film is more modern. The computer hacker will be wearing a coat as it is cold and he is walking outside. The glasses give the character a more quirky look which leads to the audience asking a question of his identity. The tie indicates formality and the bag is for the laptop and usb stick which holds the information.

Thriller Soundtrack

Harry produced this soundtrack which could be used for our thriller opening. He combined his soundtrack that he produced with the foley that I produced. Such as adding suspense where possible because this will draw the audience to the storyline.
