Istop Motion walkthrough of our thriller film

Filming Tips

Before we started filming we had a class brainstorm of ideas, here is the final tips we came up with:

1) Think About different Shot types

2)Organization - time - decent shot list

tick off as you go

3)Think Ahead eg credits-Where will they go?

4)Stick to your storyboard as much as possible

5)Shout out each shot number before each shot/take

6) "lights, Camera, ACTION"

7)Sort out roles Swap if necessary

8)Think distance ie. camera distance/angle

9)Lighting test

10)Perform

Car

This is the car we will be using for our thriller opening.

Sound

We will be using diegetic music for our piece with the radio on, this is to help create a more normal atmosphere, the radio-station will be recorded separately and put on-top of the clip to help create a consistency. This is a good idea because part of the mystery with our clip is to keep the surroundings and atmosphere as normal and natural as possible. We will also be using sound effects to signify things such as the boot opening and the spade coming down. There will also be a bit of dialogue during the clip.

Our Ident

This our Ident which we made for our thriller opening:




We made our ident on photo shop by creating six different layers of images and text and merged them together. To make them move around we used final cut express and added the bass lines by making them on garage band.

Garage band:

We used garage band and made our bass lines using the bass tools on the program by clicking on the piano and making our required bass notes.
