Our feedback from the class:
People suggested that we sort out the zoom into Hakans face when he dies because the shot is a bit shaky. We feel the shot doesn't need to be changed because it is supposed to be a point of view shot and that is aloud to be shaky.
We already know we need our credits but people suggested this and we are going to be working on this in our next periods.
The movement of Saul's head which is reversed and replayed has been said to be unnecesary so we are going to see what it looks like with the music before we make any changes.
The sound in the background in our filming sounds good as it represents and sounds like an unconscious point of view of Saul. We don't know whether we will keep this but we will either have the sound quiet in the background behind the music or we will make a computerized white noise sound to replace it.

Call Sheet
We are planning to film the first section of our film on the Wednesday 24th February.
Obtaining Camera - We have decided that William Viney will be collecting and returning the camera, tripod and equipment.
Location - For our location, we have chosen to use an isolated corner of the Long Road field to create a more eerie feel as it is woodland. We will get to the location by walking to it as it is a very short distance. It isn't a public location as it belongs to the Sixth Form College.
Lighting - We are planning to film early afternoon, so we do not have to use any non-diagetic lighting.
Actors - All 4 of us will need to be there because if the weather is bad we will have to do the indoors scene. Just Saul and Will will be acting in the outdoors scene but Hakan will be in the indoors scene and Jack will be filming. We will still need Hakan to be on set just to act as an assistant director to ensure filming is top quality.
Saul is playing the tortured character in this scene and wont need to learn any lines as he is silent and only moaning and groaning throughout the scene. This is the same for Will as he is only torturing Saul.
Film Crew - Jack will be filming on the day and directing with help from Saul.
Props - Saul will need to bring a t-shirt, shorts, fake blood and rope. We will need to acquire some chairs for the scene as both Saul and Will will be seated.
Back up plan - We will have to film the indoors scene should it rain on the day. This will not set us back as we are still getting the filming done and out the way.
Sections filmed in this call - We will film the outdoor torture scene in this filming slot.
Shots - The shots we will cover in this scene are - 360 track, zoom, POV shot, Shot reverse shot, close up and an establishing shot.

Hakan:- "Seriously I aint got a clue" (Saul shoots Hakan)
61-70 secs - Flashback in black and white continues and Hakan gets shot POV hears the gun shot but doesnt see it and then POV turns to canted angle when Hakan falls to the ground, in slow motion. Ending up with a canted angle shot of, dead, Hakan lying.

Why "Thrillers" Thrive?
Why "Thrillers" Thrive?
- To see life reflected on the screen, but in a more far fetched and up scaled way
- To see thrills without actually experiencing them ourselves
- To feel like were in danger when actually we are in the safety of the cinema in a seat
- We participate in the film and identify with characters
- The cinema can leave the viewer with a subconscious assurance of absolute safety, and also play tricks on them
- Gory scenes gives the viewer a thrill as they are seeing something they would never see in real life
- Characters that win the audience's sympathy are involved in the danger
- The film can produce an impression of great danger when there is actually no danger
- The audience thrives on thrills

P3 69 Ident
Ident explanation:-Analysis of a flashback
Butterfly effect flashback scene:-
This scene shows a very good example of a flashback. It makes it clear to the the viewer when the flashback is going on with a simple change of contrast. This is also what we are trying to achieve. When we go into our flashbacks we are going to change the contrast to black and white.
The flashbacks in this scene are done through the main main character having a fit. This then leads to the character seeing his life from a different perspective, viewing himself.
The flashbacks continue throughout the scene with 3 seconds, or less, intervals.

Example of POV Shot
This is a good example of a point of view shot. This is effective for showing someones point of view and lets the viewer see what the character is seeing.
We are planning a POV shot in our thriller opening but in a different way as we are planning on showing a very rushed shot which shows little detail to leave the viewer on the edge, wondering what is happening. This shot will help create a scene of madness and danger, leaving the audience feeling uncomfortable. We are then going to restrict the POV shot to a view through a cupboard door. This will create a restricted view which worries the audience as they will not be able to see what is going on.
There will be diegetic sound but the audience wont be able to see exactly where it is coming from. POV shot will end with the consequernces of what the audience can hear but cannot see. This consequence is a dead body, the brother of the character that the POV is from.

Feedback from pitch.
Questions
"How will you make sure Will doesn't look too young?"
Need to clarify time difference between flashback and torture scene because we need to make our actors look different in both the scenes, however we don't want Will looking too young as we are not allowed to use children in the film.
"Where will you go for the flashback scene?"
We need to find a suitable scene for the flashback, somewhere with a surface with enough room for Will to hide under. There is an area in D Block at college we can use.
"How will you make sure its a opening scene and not a complete scene?"
We shall make sure not too much of the story is revealed and build up enough suspense/tension to make viewers hunger for more.
