Pre-Production //
Location
We really liked the idea of originally filming in the forest but when it came to filming it was too dark to film there. However, at the end of editing the test shoot the filming in the car park looked really effective and helped to add lots of tension. This was because the fact that the girl was hiding behind the van and the audience and the men chasing her had no idea which bus it was therefore the audience was left on the edge of their seats trying to figure out what will happen next. We will decide later on where we will end up filming.
Characters
We need 2 large men and a younger looking innocent girl. The actors in our thriller are one of if not the most important part of the thriller. Without good actors the thriller could easily turn into a comedy. The girl we used in the test shoot was very good however she doesn’t do gymnastics therefore the martial arts type scene would not work. The two boys in the scene are not old enough as they look younger than the girl as well as the girl character being taller than them this takes away the element of intimidation that the audience should be feeling
Using Ways Around Difficult Filming
We are still wanting to use a car in the real filming of our thriller, however we could not do this in our test shoot. Therefore, we used a table and bench. The girl was just sitting there and the men walk up behind her. We left the right amount of time that it would take for the men to walk up (drive up behind her) and her to realise and run. We think that the cars will add tension and look more realistic as it looks odd that the girl is just sat on a bench not doing anything.
Props
Gun- One of the men will have a gun as it would be unrealistic that a girl who is smaller that the two men would be able to disarm them. Therefore, one of the men will have a gun she will be able to sneak up on him like what happened in our test shoot. She will take him out using a martial arts type routine and then use his gun to kill the other man.
We didn’t intend for the girl to dispose of the bodies, yet when filming, we decided we would. This added the element that the girl knows what she is doing and that she is clever. We think that we will need to add more subtle hints throughout the film that she is actually a brutal killer. We forgot when filming to show that the men were actually police however after filming we decided that this is not needed as it just adds a pointless element that would need explaining to the audience, therefore we will not add this due to it not adding or taking away any tension that would be needed.
