During research and planning I found that timelines and storyboards became very useful in creating visual ideas for our final product. This gave us a framework of where each conventional title should usually lay within a thriller sequence, creating a starting point and layout which we could work around. I looked into the history of films during my research and planning to see how the film industry has changed within a number of years. This was helpful as it gave me an understanding of all the new technologies which are continuously developing throughout film.
During my research and planning I created a main focus around 4 different thriller films, these being 'Taken' 'Shutter island' 'Se7en' and 'man on fire'. I focused on 'Taken' and 'Man On Fire' because of the context being of a kidnapping, which was an idea which stood out for me from the beginning. The slow paced editing which occurs within both 'Se7en' and 'Shutter Island' gave me conventional examples of Thriller montages for opening sequences, which was also an idea which I was striding towards for my final product.
Split up this answer into Research and then planning and write about each one - research would obviously go first. Look at your blog to see what you researched - was it helpful? How did it inform your final OTS? Could you have produced an A grade OTS without this R&Planning work? If not, why not?
ReplyDeleteCan you add to each of these the title AUDIT OF WORK, so that it is clear that this is summarising last years work and not about this years coursework - do for each of these.
