Practice Shot

This is one of our practice shots from our filming. This is from the beginning of the flashback where one of the characters walks up the hallway.

Planning the sound

Sound is a important part in a thriller clip because it adds suspense, can help to confuse and deceive the audience & keep their attention. If the sound editing is poor in a clip, then it can divert the audience's attention away from the film.

As a group, we have looked at many different sounds that we were thinking of including in our thriller clip. 
The first one that I decided to look at was a cello sound. It had a cello playing in it but it was done in a bumpy way, where it would miss one beat between each part. It sounds like a sinister heart beat and I felt this would be a good sound as the sinister, eerie part would make it more conventional for our thriller & the cello sound is a deep one that would fit into the flashback death scenes in our thriller.
The second sound that I looked at, was a piano one.
The last one I looked at was a sound clip of a man running and breathing heavily. This made me think about making our own sounds that we could add into our thriller once we are editing.

Opening Scene Narration

For our opening scene, we had to plan what the actors would say in it. This was because it would help us to plan our itinerary and make our filming for time efficient. 

The first scene where there is narration is in the flashback, where Charlotte is walking in and showing her friends, the board game. 
They say the following:
                                                                                                                                                                       
Olympia                                 - Charlotte, what's that you've got in your hands?

Jackie (younger Charlotte) - It's a game I just found.
                                                - I found it in my mum's cupboard

Olympia                                 - We should play

Natasha                                 - Why's it so important?

Jackie (younger Charlotte) - Because it's fun!
                                                                                                                                                                         
The next scene which has narration in it is when the girls are going to open the board game. The following is said:
                                                                                                                                                                    
Natasha                                - I've got no idea how to play this but I'm going to beat you guys.

All                                           - Oh, wow!
                                                                                                                                                                      
Once they have opened the box, all the girls are intrigued and interested by what's inside, which is why they all just make excited noises like the previous above.
The actors speak in the next couple of scenes, where 3 of the girls die on the board game. However, me and Rhiann did not plan what we wanted the actors to say in these scenes as we wanted them to be as realistic as possible and felt that they would be more natural if they said what they would normally say.
