Making a pitch

Today in class we got into our group and planned the opening of our thriller opening. We began by discussing our different ideas. Then we decided what would work best and started planning the shots. We choose a shot type for example close up, and thought about the effect it would have. This is an important part of planning because it helps build tension. This will help us stick to the traditional conventions of a thriller film. We also used a storyboard to plan each shot, and next to that an illustration. This helps us visualise what each shot will look like. While planning we decided to use two main locations, overground station and a house. This helped us to plan when we was going to film and at what time of day. I think that having this planning lesson was crucial as everyone know knows what we are going to do over the next few weeks. It also gives us mini targets so we can meet the final deadline.
