AO2 - Thriller Opening: Pre-Production

Recce
Below are the recce shots for our thriller opening. These images contain the locations and backdrops for scenes in our shoot.

Above is an image of a classroom, something that the girl in the office walks into. It's going to be set either at night or during some kind of break in the day, so it needs to look messy.

This will appear when the woman looks outside the office (top right) after someone bangs on the door. She'll look one way, then back and then the ghoul which she saw out the corner of her eye will disappear.

This location will be used for the woman's office. We wanted to give the office a lived in, aesthetic feel so felt this location was appropriate, given the fact it was free for use and was perfect for the image we wanted to convey.

This is the door/entrance to the office. This will be seen as the woman enters her workplace or when she opens the door to see who has just knocked. At this point, we'll also see the ghoul follow behind her with the whispery noises we intend to overdub.

This is the door the woman and ghoul walk through to get to the class room, it follows on from the next recce shot.


This is the corridoor in which our thriller begins. We see a woman who presumably works here walking down the corridor, when suddenly a ghoul appears. The woman sensing something behind her turns around, and we see the other side of this corridor as we see the woman's (who just looked behind) face. She turns the corner and ends up with the door above.


Storyboard
Featured below is the storyboard for our thriller opening. Following on from this is our animatic.

Risk Assessment
Below is my group's risk assessment for the shoot of a thriller opening.


Legal & Ethical

I would assume that our thriller would be a 12a rating due to the thrilling and mysterious content that could scare or affect a young child. I would advise adult supervision as instructed by the BBFC, The British Board of Film Classification.

We were careful not to use any product placement in our film, however, you can see an Apple Mac computer. Had this been in the industry, permission would have had to be used and possible payment or the removal of the branding to avoid legal following.

Copyright is when the owners or producers of the film own the legal rights to certain aspects of the film, this could be the name, slogans, logos and even the music and soundtrack of the film. As a group, the soundtrack and logo for "Dead Air" are copyright to us, the creators, under the new Digital Economy Act 2010 (UK) and the Digital Millenium Copyright Act for the USA.
