Shot lists

Here are our two shot lists we planned for filming. By doing these shot lists we can make the filming process faster as we now have a clear idea of what camera shots to use and when.

Timeline

We created a timeline to intricately observe how exactly our opening will play out and all the specific timings of actions and camera shots.

Character Profiles, Casting Ideas, Location Scout and Rehearsal Schedule

The next task we did was our character profiles, casting ideas, location scouting and rehearsal schedule. Doing this enables us to be organised and clearly see the structure of the filming process to limit any unrealistic goals/disruptions.

Script for opening

Here is our script we created for our opening, this will help our cast and crew identify the roles and characteristics the characters portray as well as the structure of our opening/narrative.

Planning Synopsis

These are our planning synopsis' and our original ideas.  They include our narrative ideas and codes and conventions, we also have detailed descriptions of our characters and what we have represented them as and why. From these ideas we can get a broader idea of what our characters personality will be like and also how they are involved in the narrative and the equilibrium/disruption.

Survey Responses

Here are the graphs of our results from our surveys we conducted on Google forums:

These results help us draw conclusions that we can take on board and use for our own film opening to ensure it attracts our target audience and therefore this survey was very useful.

Psychological Crime Thriller Mind Map

To further explore the different codes and conventions of psychological crime thrillers and help feed our knowledge of the genre to make our opening as accurate as possible, we put together a mind map to flesh all the important factors in a psychological crime thriller.

Psychological crime thriller mood board

To further develop our understanding of the genre and all the different codes and conventions, we put together a mood board which presents these codes and conventions and all the different varying factors linked to psychological crime thrillers.

Psychological Crime Thriller Documentary

To display and practice our knowledge and research of our chosen genre, we put together a documentary on Psychological Crime Thrillers that also includes our audience interviews.

To further research our audience, we interviewed three people who would fit into our target audience and asked them questions about Psychological Crime Thrillers.
