Week 27/11/2009- 04/12/2009
27/11/2009-04/12/2009
During this week I created a table with the tasks that needed to be completed and by when. This means that I organised the tasks which needs to be done and by when they need to be completed. When doing this I allocated myself the task of emailing the actors setting dates for when they would be required to film scenes. In order to do this a meeting was set up with them and a list was taken of their email addresses and days available. With this data I compiled I was then able to set the official dates and emailed it to them. I think that this went well because emails are quick and simple ways to send messages to people also I think that many people use emails to talk to friends or long distance families. This means that the chances of the person getting the message through their email are higher.
The other task I did was analysed a teaser for the film "Grace", looking at the key questions, shot list and information that I thought was relevant based on the teaser. Before I analysed this teaser I researched different movies and created a mood-board. I wanted to create one which was showing the variety of films I looked at and one where I was focusing on a specific film. In the end I created an animoto using www.animoto.com and I also used “windows media maker” to edit sound and merge the two video clips of “Them” and “Devil Times Five” and put the song “Beauty and the Best”. The reason why I did this is because I wanted to enhance my creative knowledge of the film.
Next week I am finalising the locations of where I think the filming should take place, I am not directly filming however I will be present when the filming is happening in order to talk and guide the actors on what they may need to do if the filmier is not able to do this. By being present I am also able to change location if I do not think that it was a good place to film or change the location if there are any inconveniences such as the rooms being used.
I will also be logging the scenes so that when it comes to editing I will know t he shots which I want to use.

Research into thriller genre
Suspense, there is always a protagonist and an antagonist whose forces collide. The action in this genre tends to be at a fast pace and many scenes of actions occur. By doing this a thriller is keeping the attention of the audience. This type of genre will appeal to a target audience that are interested in escaping into another world .
A psychological thriller is similar to a thriller in terms of what it does and the types of scene that occur, however a character or some fo the characters suffer from psychological difference that influence their judgement and who they are. Examples of this include:
Dualism- this is when a character has a split personality, their minds are not of one person and as a result characters that have a dual nature find it difficult to tell reality from fiction.
Ontology- this is when a person tries to determine what actually exists, similarly to dualism characters is unable to tell what is physical and what is a fabrication of their minds.
The themes which are usually involved in a psychological thriller are:
• Mind
• Perception
• Identity
• Death
• Existence
For my teaser I think that identity, mind and death are the themes that will occur in the movie, focusing on a character that has a dual nature. The dual nature means they are unaware of the deaths which are occurring and believe the “thing” that is haunting the others and killing them are also after this character. As this relates to a character not being able to tell what is physical and an illusion.
