Planning our Thriller again...

Planning

The story line for our new thriller revolves around a delivery that comes threw the character Corinne’s door. In the delivery that is of an envelope is a USB that contains important information (unknown to Corinne). Corinne is awoken by the sound of the doorbell and she goes and retrieves this envelope. She then see's the usb and decides to load it onto the computer. As she had been out the night before and is still in her party clothes, and is tired and slightly hung-over. She loses focus and decides to go and have a bath and then go back to the pc afterwards. Whilst she is running the bath, an intruder who knows about this usb and wants the secret files breaks into the house. He is equipped with a knife and dressed in black. He then goes into the bathroom where Corinne is and in a threatening manner and demands to know “where the content is" ( the content being the information on the usb) he then slams the door shut and this is where we will be ending it. We decided to end the opening here because it will leave the audience wanting to watch more as well as leaving them on edge which was our plan.We have planned some of the shots that we feel would make our thriller looking very effective. Some of these shots include;

1.)A long shot of the Corinne’s house (establishing shot)
2.) An extreme close-up of the doorbell as it is being rung
3.)A close up of Corinne’s face as she sleeps
4.) A close up the a clock to show time passing4.)Various angled shots of Corinne’s journey down the stairs enabling us to have some math cutting
5.) A close up of Corinne’s hand as she opens the door
6.) A low angled close up f Corinne hand on the mouse
7.) A close up of the water and plug as the bath is being filled up
8.) A high angle of the intruder’s feet entering the house with a panning camera movement.
9.) Medium shots of Corinne in the bathroom
10.) Shot reverse shot between Corinne and the intruder as he enters the bathroom
11.) An extreme close up of the intruders mouth as a demands for the secret information( from two different angles)
12.) A medium shot of the intruder from the side showing the knife in his hand.

We planned the shots in this way to prevent us from changing the storyline and to make sure that we can film the thriller opening as quickly and
effectively as possible so that we have time to do extra filming.

We also discussed appropriate props and costume that we will be using. Now that we are organised I hope that the next filming session go to plan.
