As a whole group, we had a meeting regarding our group storyboard. We all looked at each others individual storyboard and discussed the best parts in which we would include within our final narrative. When discussing the storyboards, we decided to include a part of everyones individual ideas.
The first storyboard we looked at is Freddie Conway's. Freddie's scene seemed to be the most powerful and most realistic which is why we believe its the one that should be used. Within Freddie's opening scene there were many realistic and suspense building moments in which we believe that would create a thrilling clip. Because of this, we Incorporated many of Freddie's ideas in our group narrative. For example, we decided to set it within the kitchen of a house in which Freddie came up with. We believed that setting the scene in the kitchen would make the scene have a more realistic feel and therefore make it more tension rising. This is the main thing in which we have incorprated into our group narrative from Freddie's individual idea.
During our discussion we created an illustration for each frame in which we will want to be in our final clip. The layout of the storyboard allows us to see both the visualisation of what we are saying and then able to describe what we want to include. This shows as a group that we can have an idea then encorportate it fully. The storyboard is effective as is allows us to see how it will look on screen, we can then see if it fits the conventions of a thriller genre and we will also be able to see if it looks effective and fits our target audience.
From our storyboards, it enabled us to put our ideas down on paper and see if they would work and achieve what we want, then, if it didn't achieve the effect that we wanted, we would finalise our ideas as a group and use for planning. As a group, this storyboard will be able to be used a visual aid to base our whole opening scene one. Overall, the group narrative is much more effective than our individual ones as it allows us to know the final things that will be included in our opening scene and as well, we now have something to direct us when we go through our filming process.

Inspirations post- Miss Miller
When planning for our narrative we took inspirations to inspire us and give us ideas on what to include within my narrative. Inspirations can be used as springboards, we can work around these ideas and widen them with our own twists. Inspirations for our thriller clips can be taken from other thriller films, trailers of thriller films and just in general from our ideas.
The first inspiration that I have taken to incorporate into my narrative is from the thriller film Insidious. This film has many things that are conventional to the thriller genre that have inspired me to include within my own thriller opening scene. Such as, low key lighting, jump cuts and long shots. However, the main thing from the film Insidious that has inspired me is the setting. The film is extremely tension building and suspicious, I believe this is because of the setting. As the film is set within a household environment, this gives it highly realistic feel, so when something bad and scary is happening the audience are led believe that it could happen to them at any point. Ultimately, this makes the film more scary and suspicious. Because of the scary effect this has on the audience, I will be using the house setting in my clip also. I will incorporate conventions of a thriller such as low key lighting and blood as well as the house setting to make my narrative as effective as it can be.
The second film that I watched which gave me inspiration for my narrative is The Conjouring. The Conjouring creates a tense and scary atmosphere through the use of different cinematography in which it uses. It uses many camera shots such as point of view, handheld, high angles, low angles and many more. Through the use of these camera angles, we are able to build relationships with the characters and feel scared for the characters. The main camera angle that has inspired me and which I will be including in my own narrative is the high angle. During The Conjouring when the high angled shot is used, the character is seemed to be smaller than she actually is making it seem she is a victim and vulnerable to what may happen. This makes the film more tension building and thrilling. Because of the effect that it has within this film, I will be using this within my narrative as I believe it will portray the girl as the victim and extremely vulnerable to what is to come. Ultimately this will create the film to be more scary and engaging.
Another inspiration I have got is from the film The Human Centipede. This film has great use of sound to build the sense of enigma and build the tension. The sound heard within this film is dialogue, off screen sound, non diagetic and silence. These sounds have inspired me to include some within my opening scene. The one that I believe has the biggest effect and portrays a sense of fear is the use of silence. Silence used within the scene causes self-concious responses from the audience, it builds up our attention to what is happening and therefore makes us worried. This is effective as we are then fully engaged within the scene and our fear is built up. This has inspired me to include silence within my scene as I believe the audience will be led to feel scared.
Overall, few thriller films have inspired me to include such things in my own narrative to create a sense of fear.

Risk Assessment- Miss Georgiou
When planning to film our opening scene, there are a number of things we had to look at before we started to film. We planned a risk assessment to keep hazards minimal when filming and to prevent any accidents from happening. Risk assessments are important in the film industry as the cast and film crew should feel safe while the film is being filmed and produced. Risk assessments on the set of films let people know what to keep an eye out for and how to prevent these risks from happening.
Risk assessments are also important because they provide a plan for a safe filming setting. Safety rules are created for the film crew to follow and are aware of hazards and risks in the working place. They can identify who may be at risk and where this risk may happen. In order to know this, the filming process will have a minimal chance of risk as we know what risks may happen and where and therefore trying to avoid them. However, if a risk does occur we can then know what to do to overcome it and move on.
As you can see in my risk assessment, the chart has a list of the potential risks in which could happen and we have have found what precautions are needed in order to prevent it from happening.
My risk assessment will help our group into successfully filming our narrative without any risks from occurring. However, if a risk does occur we will know how to overcome it and move on from what has happened.

Planning Editing Styles- Miss Georgiou
When planning for our group narrative we have to plan precisely what we will be including within our clip. In this post I will be discussing the editing styles that our group will use in our final clip. Editing within films makes sequences more effective and engaging for the audience. Editing also allows the 'Three 'S'' to take place, shock, surprise and suspense. The potential editing styles that we could include within our clip are straight cuts, jump cuts, montage, linking shots, fading, kuleshov effect and many more. However, the editing styles we have decided to use are:
- Jump cuts
- Fading
- Blurring out the background
- Montage
Including a few others.
Jump cuts are used when the film wants to quickly and suddenly focus on something. We have used this style of editing within our clip in several frames as we believe it will add excitement and create a chaotic effect whilst focusing on one part of the film. The first time in which you will notice a jump cut is when the hob on the fire turns on. The jump cut here will imply to the audience that something bad is going to happen with the fire, but yet, still making it seem that everything will be fine because there is a sense of realisation and are led to believe that possible nothing bas is going to happen. This ultimately will make the scene more engaging as the audience start to focus on the fire and start to question what is going to happen next to the person within the house. Jump cuts are conventional to the thriller genre as they build the suspense and tension as we start focus on certain things. Jump cut used within our clip will create a relationship between the audience and the victim as they start to feel sympathy towards her and want her to be careful around the fire.
The next editing style we will be using is fading. We have used this when the screen fades to black and will portray danger or that something is going to suddenly take a dramatic change for the worse or something may jump out at the audience creating a scary atmosphere. This editing style has helped our narrative to achieve suspense and shock. It has also created tension as when the screen goes to black, we are unable to know what may happen next. It also makes the audience sit on edge and gets them ready for something to take a dramatic twist from reality and normality to disruption and death. The fading into black is conventional to the thriller genre as the colour black is associated with danger. The danger portrayed here may mean is will result in death.
We will also be using montage. This is when editing is quick, the shots are quickly put together to create excitement. We have used this specific editing style as it joins lots of different frames together at a fast pace. We are using this editing style to make a heartbeat sort of pace, the clips will get faster and faster, just like a heartbeat. We have done this to make sure the audience are more engaged and and pay more attention to the film due to the fast pace of the film. This will create a relationship with the audience as they are engaged with the film, paying attention to the little detail, feeling on edge for the victim and hoping nothing bad will happen to her.

Target Audience Results- Miss Miller
When planning our opening scene to a thriller film, we handed our questionnaire to 40 people, asking what people expect to see in thrillers to inspire us to then put specific things into our opening scene.
The first question in which we asked on the questionnaire is 'Are you Male or Female?'. We asked this in order to know which gender people who answered the questionnaire were and we could then see if the different genders prefer different things to each other and we could then include specific things within our scene which adheres to the taste of both genders.
The next question in which we asked was what age certificate do you watch the most. In asking this question, we were able to see which age certificates where watched the most through all ages and genders. In order to know this, we were able to then pick easily what age certifcate to base our opening scene on. Our results concluded that the certificate watched the most was 15, meaning that, our opening scene will have an age certificate of 15.
The thrid question that we asked was 'What interests you in watching a thriller?' we gave tick boxes giving several answers in which they could chose from. Suspense, tension, plot, villain and other. However, suspense was the answer in which got the most votes being 12 out of 40. This ultimately gives us an idea of what interests the audience in watching a thriller meaning that we will include suspense in our clip making it enjoyable for the intended audience to watch.
The next question was one in which links in with the previous question, we asked, 'what do you expect to see in a thriller?'. We again gave tick boxes giving answers in which you could pick from. The answers in which we gave were, good plot, villian, victim, low key lighting, blood, girl, iconography, death and murder. The answer in which had the highest result was death. This gives us an idea of what the audience would like to seem in a good thriller, therefore, we will include death within out narrtative. Blood being the second highest answer, we will include blood also.
We then asked a closed question of 'do you like sequels?' we gave simple tick boxes of yes or no. The majority vote was no. We asked this question in order to know if the audience would watch another film in which leads on from ours.
Overall, asking these questions to people, we were then able to know what people wanted to see within our thriller and what we have to include to make it as scary as it could possibly could be. Getting a wide range of answers allows us to include an element that everyone would like to see not just a certain age group.

Planning Cinematography- Miss Miller
When our group is planning to film our opening scene, we have planned the different cinematography and camera shots we will use within our scene. Planning the cinematography allows for our group to film easily and know where to place the camera at different points within the scene.
The importance of cinematography within films is key, different angles of what is happening along with effective editing produces and excellent sequence. Cinematography gives different views of what is happening making the film more enjoyable to view, and in some points within thriller films, more scary for the audience as the camera angle presents to us an uncomfortable image.
The first use of cinematography in which we will use in our scene is the use of a high angled shot when the girl is in the kitchen. We have chosen to use this high angled shot here as it shows the girl smaller than she is which portrays to the audience that she is in danger and that something bad may happen to her. We hope that this shot will portray the girl to be vulnerable in her surroundings and ultimately portray her to be the victim. High angled shots are conventional to the thriller genre as it presents characters to be smaller than they are creating a mysterious tension within the film. The high angled shot will help the audience to build a relationship with the girl as we feel on edge for her and we ultimately feel scared on her behalf. The audience will also begin to feel uncomfortable for her also as we are unsure of what may happen next within the scene. We have decided to include a high angled shot in order to provoke emotions from the audience, such as fear and worry, making them more engaged within the sequence.
The second cinematography shot in which we will be using is the use of a long shot. We will use this when, again, the girl is in her kitchen, dancing oblivious to what is happening in her surroundings. Within the long shot, we are able to see all of her body and her surroundings. As her surroundings is the household enviornment, this gives the scene a sense of reality. This will ultimately portray fear within the film as we begin to believe it could happen to us and again making the girl seem extremely vulnerable and victimized. It will portray enigma as we are unable to know what may jump out at her at any point making the scene more thrilling. Long shots are conventional to the thriller genre as the characters are made to seem vulnerable, increasing the fear as we are unable to know what may happen. The use of the the long shot here will help the audience build a relationship with the girl as we feel on edge for her, hoping that nothing bad will happen to her.
Another cinematography element we will be using is point of view. Using point of view in our scene will help portray fear and suspense. As we are doing the point of view from the killers perspective, this will create horror within the film as we are able to see everything in which the killer can see, this ultimately makes the audience believe that they are taking part within the film. Therefore, we hope that this will portray fear and a sense of relaisation to the audience and they begin to begin to sit on edge. Point of View shots are conventional to the thriller genre as they make the audeience believe they are taking part and this increases the thrill and suspense. The use of the point of view shot within the opening scene will allow for the audience to build their relationship with the character. The audience will primarily feel scared for the girl within the house, and hope that she will survive as we believe she is innocent because of the way.
We we also have use of zooming in and zooming out in which is another cinematography element. We will be zooming in to the girl when she is dancing in her kitchen. Zooming in and moving towards the girl creates importance and draws our attention to her and we are fully focused on her. Zooming out creates distance and detatchment to what is happening. We will be zooming out from the boyfriend when he gets killed, this will create emotion for the audience as we feel uncomfortable to what we are seeing. Zooming in and zooming out from certain objects are conventional to the thriller genre. Zooming in allows for the object or character to be focused on creating suspense and horror.

Planning character representation- Miss Georgiou
When planning to film our narrative, in our group we planned how we are are going to present our characters and how we are going to represent them to the target audience. The characters will be represented to the audience by their clothing, body language, hair and make up and background.
The main character within our narrative is an 18 year old female named Olivia Harris. She is a white British girl who lives in England. Her Dad works abroad most of the year, her Mum is constantly busy at work and she is an only child. Hence why, during our narrative, Olivia is home alone. We have made Olivia be home alone during the scene as we believe it increases the fear and it also makes her seem vulnerable and seen to be the victim. It also makes it seem that if something bad is to happen, she has no one to help her. Again, increasing the fear and tension. Olivia previously had an abusive relationship with male named Luke Moore. The purpose in why we have included Olivia in our narrative is to give the scene a sense of reality, making the whole narrative more realistic. She is the victim within the film which is also why she has a purpose within out narrative. She appeals to the audience because the audience in whom we are trying to target, are the roughly the same age as her, making the audience feel vulnerable too and also on edge to what may happen.
The next character in which we have included is a 19 year old male named Jack Edwards who is Olivia's boyfriend. Again, he is a white British male who lives in England. He is a severely bullied boy in whom lives with his younger brother and has to care for him as his dad is an abusive alcoholic and his mum is dying. Through the way he is portrayed and the way in which he acts within the scene, we are able to see that he is nothing like his father and is a nice boy. Ultimately, he is seemed to be a caring, loving character who is innocent. The purpose in why we have included this character is to portray him as innocent and loving, also, to increase the shock to when he gets murdered as the audience wouldn't expect it. This character creates a relationship with the audience as we sympathise with him, feeling sorry for him and therefore hoping that nothing bad happens to him. He will appeal to the audience as they will see him as a teenage boy, similar age to the target audience, and some people will be able to relate with him.
The third character used within the scene will be the killer. He is a 21 year old male who's name is Luke Moore. He is the ex-boyfriend to Olivia Harris and is extremely mentally ill because of his troubled childhood with his abusive and alcoholic parents. He became very abusive towards Olivia, which is why the relationship ended. He is also very paranoid due to the amount of drugs in which he takes. We have made him older than the victims to make it seem he is suprior over them and ultimately to make him intimidating over them also. Luke is very important to the scene as he is one of the main characters and he is the person in whom murders Jack. This makes him an extremely singnifigant character and is made to seem that we should be scared and weary of him. The purpose of including him within our narrative is to create fear and suspense and making the audience feel on edge. However, we believe that he will not have any appeal to the audience as he is a horrible character.
