Advertising Our Film.

In order to make our film successful we would need to have good advertising to make people aware about the film. For example we could advertise our film through television, this would mean having a trailer to raise awareness of the film and get people wanting to watch it. Another way we could advertise it is by using poster situated around cities and on different mode of transport such as buses, trains and taxi's. Advertising could also be done by getting permission to put trailers or posters on to other peoples web pages ,on the internet you could also have a trailer on youtube.

Changes to our work.

Due to a number of different reasons we have changed our ideas and the way the thriller will look. At the beginning of this topic we had various different ideas which all seemed very good however, we encountered some problems and had to re think our ideas and how we were going to go about producing the thriller. We originally though of some ideas which evolved around the idea of a kidnapping. We felt that our ideas were good but could be better so, we set about changing the thriller so it would not only have more impact on the audience but put across our ideas in a stronger way to the audience. We also changed the location of our filming because we felt that due to a number of reasons, it would have a better impact on the audience. We originally thought that we would film the thriller in the town centre but after thinking over a number of different issues such as how we would make it look realistic without getting too much attention of the public as this would ruin the look we wanted to create. Some other of our reasons for changing the location were that we felt it would look too unrealistic for what we wanted. For example, by filming in the centre of town we would have had to take into account the shops which surrounded the area we wanted to film in and the lighting in the location (filming during the day could look even more unrealistic).
However are re-grouping and thinking about our ideas we managed to come up with some new ideas and found two new locations to film in. We are happier with the footage that we have now and feel that we have been able to include some new ideas by changing the location.
We do understand that because of us changing certain aspects of our thriller, this now means that the work on the blog is now incorrect to what were working on but we will relate all of our new blog posts to our new idea and we will work towards changing all of our wall posts.

Map of the location.

This is a map of the centre of town. In this picture you can see different points in which different camera angles are going to occur. Refer to the shot list to see which shot type is at each location.

1. This is where the filming will start, it will be an establishing shot where the audience will be able to see the location and its surroundings.

(vic will finish off this)

Location Recce.

We will be filming in town/petty cury.
Facts about the location -
  - fairly busy during the week but busiest in the afternoons.
  - wednesday evenings are a busy time because of late night shopping (need to take into account the problems     with lighting)
  -need to think about other people around us whilst filming (any people that may be protesting/advertising/handing out leaflets etc in the area).

Weather -
  -look up the weather forecast for the day (think about alternatives if the weather is bad).
  - if the weather is unexpectedly bad on the day, we will need an alternative indoor location to film.

Lighting -
  -we will be filming during the day or at night?
  -think about the lighting - make sure that if we want shots where it is bright, allow time it film this when there is light).
  -the shadows from the building either side of the street will create a good effect and make it look more dramatic.

Sun -
  -we will need to look into where the sun rises and sets because this will affect the way the lighting looks on camera.

Other things that will affect our filming -
  -we will need to think about the amount of people that will be around as too many will be too noisy.
  -traffic - look into roughly how many cars drive round the road that runs around the market and down beside yo-sushi - too many and this could disrupt the sound on our film.
  -other peoples well-being - we will need to think about the public whilst filming because filming a kidnapping could cause a scene and therefore we need to make it clear that we are filming and try and get the public to act normal around us.
  -our well-being - this location is a good place to film as there is facilities nearby in the shopping centre for anything that we may need on the day of filming eg. toilets, food and drink shops, source of electricity, car parking etc.

Summary of the articles.

Why thriller thrive
- Why do people go to the cinema? To get 'thrills' hence the name thrillers. Our 'nature is such that we must have these 'shakeu-ups', these can be experienced in thrillers. As we don't experience these thrills in real life anymore because civilization has sheltered and screened us from having these thrills, going to the cinema to see a thriller is the best way of experiencing them artificially.
-In a thriller we see things happening that wouldn't usually happen to us in real life and therefore seeing a thriller is us experiencing something new but were in a safe and secure environment while we watch the turmoil and struggle that occurs around us.
-When your watching a thriller your putting yourself into the characters position. 'We don't sit by as spectators; we participate'.
-Thrillers are meant to capture the audiences emotions and get them involved in the film. Whether it's through tension, sadness, happiness or sympathy. By making the audience interested in the film, the audience begin to feel part of the action and react in specific ways that relate to what's going on.

Let 'em play god
- Directors want the audience to be on the edge of their seats, therefore they create films so that the audience get involved in the action and want to break the suspense. The audience wants to get involved in the action and also they want to find out what's going to happen and become very interested in the action.

Film Company Logo Analysis

-The paramount logo is an effective film company logo due to the fact that the meaning of paramount means the most important and having the mountain in the logo it emphasis the meaning of the intentions of the company.


-The stars can also be a representation of the quality of the their films and the people in it  which shows that they are making and funding films to a high standard and the sort of spotlight that highlights the mountain also could represent being the front runner.


-Also the mention of Viacom can make the film company more popular as it is an incredibly well known company in the US who own many channels and broadcast a lot of programmes etc.
