Vertigo the film:
Dark, shadowy athmosphere (use of light and dark images): Quite light, happy athmosphere very light everywhere especially at the beginning of the film.
Creation of suspense using soundtrack music-eerie innocent music?: When a flashback happens within the film a screeching loud sound occurs it sounds like horns this shows an significant moment by the type of music. In normal situations there was the violin played for background music.
Morally ambiguous central character-film noir: Asking his friend ( an ex- investigator to follow his wife.)
Murder encouraging a suspecting audience: The suspision of a man falling from a roof which to be thought maybe from the auidence is the story of what is happened before.
Realistic settings to create a sense of the 'unsual' occuring within a normal setting: The man is still working with his ex- fiancee in a normal office work space.
Flashbacks: It shows as if a man got killed on the roof, and shows the man from a high level this is shown repetively.
Hero in situation of threat or struggle : The suggested hero of the male being a hero from trying to save another man on the building.
Twists and unexpected turns: The man and woman were engaged and this may surprise the audience.
Other notes: I dont think i will use anything from this film vertigo as the conventions that are used i do not wish to use within my thriller.

Story board Language
Below are the different shot that could be used when using a camera to shoot an film.
CLOSE-UP SHOT: A close range of distance between the camera and the subject.
DISSOLVE: A transition between two shots, where one shot fades away and simultaneously another shot fades in.
FADE: A transition from a shot to black where the image gradually becomes darker is fade out; or from balck where the image gradually becomes brighter is a Fade In.
HIGH CAMERA ANGLE: A camera angle which looks down on its subject making it look small, weak or unimportant.
JUMP CUT: A rapid, jerky transition from one frame to the next, either disrupting the flow of time or movement within a scene or making an abrupt transition from one scene to another.
LEVEL CAMERA ANGLE: A camera angle which is even with the subject; it may be used as a neutral shot.
LONG SHOT: A long range of distance between the camera and the subject, often providing a broader range of the setting.
LOW CAMERA ANGLE: A camera angle which looks up at its subject; it makes the subject seem more important and powerful.
PAN: A steady, sweeping movement from one point in a scent to another.
POINT-OF-VIEW-SHOT: A shot which is understood to be seen from the point of view of a character within the scene.
REACTION SHOT: E ither a shot of someone looking of screen or as a shot of someone in a conversation where they are not given a line of dialogue but are just listening to the other person speak.
TILT: Using a camera on a tripod, the camera moves up or down to follow the action.
ZOOM: Use of the camera lens to move closely towards the subject.

Storyboarding
Before filming there needs to be a storyboard/script made first. This shows what is going to happen in each shot and what type of shot it is going to be.
What should a storyboard show?
Before filming there needs to be a storyboard/script made first. This shows what is going to happen in each shot and what type of shot it is going to be.
What should a storyboard show?
- What type of camera shot is being shown.
- What sounds or music can me heard in each frame.
- What characters are in the storyboard frame and what action they are showing.
- The dialogue being exchanged between the characters.
- The time passed between the last frame and the current one.
It is important to make a storyboard as it will help as to what to do when filming, and knowing exactly how to film it for each shot. Changes may be made and this will help to show improvements and ideas. You can also get feedback.
It is quite simple to make a storyboard it is mostly drawn in pen or pencil but it can also be photographed. The storyboard needs to have a frame as this will help to show the different types of shots. Only simple drawing are needed as long as it is clear in showing the shot.
Preliminary task continuity principals For our Preliminary Task there are three rules that we have to follow:
- Match on action.
This is when the movement/action usually starts in one shot, and ends in another.
-Shot reverse shot:
This is if the characters are exchanging dialoge then the camera films just one characters face which would be used from an over the shoulder shot of the other character, then when the other character speaks then the camera would switch to just filming them with an over the shoulder shot of the character who has just spoken.
-180 degree rule:
This is when the camera showing the two characters always on one side.
- Match on action.

Films analysed.
The Talented Mr Ripley
I analysed the film called, The Talented Mr Ripley directed by Anthony Minghella, 1999.
The Talented Mr Ripley.
A build up to the action: At the beginning of the film there is a fade in this builds up the action.
Creation of fear/ apprehension/ anticipation/ unsettling/ confusion/ doubt over a character: The main character keeps changing his name and makind it ocvious that he is lieing to the other characters. This gives confusion to the character.
Dark, shadowy atmosphere (use of light and dark images): I found that i was very dark lighting sometimes the film showed light images but this convention did show greatly.
Delay in showing the face of a significant character, or the action of an important event by first showing the hand of the character for instance or a reaction of someone watching the event: It didnt show characters faces for a certain period of time at the start.
Creation of suspense using soundtrack music-eerie innocent music?: At the start there is a soft clasical piano being played and sounds as if its in an old time period. As suspense built up in a significant time in the film e.g. each time he said his own name to another character music started to change dramatically. At the start i thought it was clever how they used Non digetic sound from showing a type writer being heard before the shot had been heard.
Morally ambiguous central chracter-film noir: A key point that i noticed in this thriller that met this convention was that one of the characters was cheating on his girlfriends and then another charactert that knew this thought it was wrong.
Realistic settings to create a sense of 'the unusual' occurring within a normal setting: A few settings in the film was normal i found when there were flashbacks i found that the flashbacks showed a garden. Also in the film it showed new york's Jazz clubs within the city.
Flashbacks: In this film i noticed that it showed flashbacks in the first 30 seconds of the film and it showed flashbacks of the main character to when he was younger.
Making and keeping the auidence tense and on the edge of our seats: When something significant happnens and we already feel tension the music changes and then also changes the atmosphere to make the viewer tense and on the edge of their seat.
Other notes: I found the conventions in this film good as they show alot and what it can do for a film. I may incorporate some of the conventions that have been used with this thriller. E.g. i thin it was very clever to use the non digetic sound, which was used by hearing a type writer before showing the shot. I also liked the idea of flashbacks and thought that this was shown very clearly.

Planning of locations
We have decided to use the location of our school grounds. We have decided to use this location as it suits the plot, period style of the film. The location looks very old and periodic this will help the viewer to establish what is happening and what time period we are trying to show to the audience we will use effects when we edit it to turn it into an old building which is used for an old office.
We have also thought that this location will be good for opening to our thriller as inside the school suits what we are trying to to show for the audience as it looks very old and as if it is atcually filmed in the time period we are trying to show as it is going to show a flashback in that location.
The building
This is the outside of the location we used and we thought this gives quite a majestic look and important when in sepia. This will be good for the flashback that we intend to use.
The corridor

The building
The corridor
The reason we chose this corridor for after the stairs scene
is because we believe it looks very old. Martin's silent footsteps down this corridor, and the slightly 'juddery' feel to the shots add to the mystery and the upset caused previous to the film.
is because we believe it looks very old. Martin's silent footsteps down this corridor, and the slightly 'juddery' feel to the shots add to the mystery and the upset caused previous to the film.The office
We chose the school's meeting room as Martin's office, as
this room only had two windows, and the dark carpet looks
good against the lighter walls. There were many tables in the room so we moved them out of the way we also found that there was a notice board on the wall we found this very useful.
The credits
This part of the school location was where we made alot of our credits we used charchol and chalk and this then gave the effect that we scratched into walls and objects but by just using materials that can wipe clean off of, paper, walls and th floor.
Preliminary+Storyboard
This was the first ever story board for our Preliminary storyboard
and then the preliminary that we film was based on this. We
designed the storyboard to show off what we had learned so
far - Match on Action, Shot-Reverse Shot, and the 180° Rule.
What we wanted to show and which was planned was to have a
man walk through a door, and show him coming through it and
closing it. He then walks over to a table, where a woman is
sitting. They talk, before the man walks out.
The day when filming we had to make a few changes as we had
some difficulties filming. So we had to change the storyboard
slightly and Instead we decided to start with the two people to
start talking and then we filmed them shooting different shots.

Information on our target audience.
The target audience we are thinking about for our main thriller film task are teenagers and adults which are 15+ as it has an dated outcome and they will have a better understanding of the film and will be more interested also we thought this would be a good idea as we know from looking at thriller DVDS released last year that the average age restriction is a 15, so if we aim for over 15's, then we have hit the main market.
We would like our film to be aimed towards an audience of 15+ as they may relate to what is happening more and may relate to the style more but even though we have certificated aged it 15+ as we think that it may appeal to younger teenagers aswell.
Theme - There is no them prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds.
Language- There can be frequent use of strong language but strongest terms are rarely acceptable. aggressive, strong language and sexual abuse.
Nudity- There are no constraints on nudity in a non- sexual or educational context.
Sex- Sexual activity and nudity can be portrayed but not in strong detail. Casual sex must be handled responsibly and carefully. Some strong verbal references about sexual behaviour may appear.
Violence- Violence can be Strong but it must not show infliction of pain and injuries in detail. Sexual violence must be brief.
Horror- Some horror may be acceptable but infliction or pain shown in detail is not allowed.
Drugs- Drug use can be shown but it may not be shown in clear detail. The film should make sure that drugs are not promoted or encouraged in any way.
Imitable techniques-Dangerous combat techniques such as ear claps, head butts and blows to the neck are unlikely to be acceptable. There may be no emphasis on the use of easily accessible lethal weapons (in particular, knives.)
My partner and I will make sure we stay to this guideline for certificate 15+.
We have also thought about the gender of our target audience. Whilst planning our thriller opening we thought of the different characters within the sequence and how they are going to be represented and portrayed. We thought about the main male character and the other character of the a woman that is not shown the face of, just her voice and shadow. We thought that the film would be more appealing towards males as the sequence shows more of the male character and males from the audience can relate to it more and understand the character more than a female may do. A certain part of the sequence we have thought that may challenge the representations of the normal 'male' and 'female'. as in this part the man is shown that he feels very frightened and then gets killed by the unshown woman this i am hoping doesnt change the target audience and what appeals to them.
Preliminary task
We made a storyboard for our preliminary task to plan how we was going to film it e.g. what types of shots, what actions, sound and lighting would be used. We did plan some script starters but then we also allowed the actors to 'ad- lib' the rest of the conversation this made it seem more natural. When it came to filming the task we decided to make some changes to the task as we thought it would have worked better and made it more sucessful etc. This even so Adam and I did have some problems before shooting and then needed to arrange the storyboard around the actors this made a better ampthosphere which allowed us to move around the conversation more fluently and stopped breaking it up.
As we was filming we made sure we used certain rules and techniques such as the 180 degree rule which consits of the camera only being on one side of the characters. We also used shot reverse shot this is if the characters are exchanging dialoge then the camera films just one characters face which would be used from an over the shoulder shot, then when the other character speaks then the camera would switch to just filming them.
After filming we needed to edit what we had filmed, when doing this we found may techniques to edit and make changes that we wanted. e.g flipping the image this help us with making the shot reverse shot that we wanted as we were not able to achieve this fully when filming. We also found other techniques that we think may be useful to us for our main task from the ideas we already have.

Thursday 3 December 2009
An opening sequence is designed to:
- establish character and narrative context
- set up a degree of curiosity or question that will be answered later on in the film
- help the audience understand location, character and purpose
- cut between credits and action
The opening of Se7en.
As soon a s the opening of Se7en starts it doesnt show any characters it shows an object, a book. It right away shows credits when the image is still showing this alredy shows mystrey. Then the sequence show Match on Action and goes to a black background and then shows credit saying its an Arnold Kopelson production. i thought se7en's use of music and sound effect was very clever as they were repetitive.
I found se7en didnt really give the audience help in understanding the location and the characters and their purpose as there was not dialogue and or any narrative voice. However i found that se7en did set up a degree of curiosity of question that will be answered later on in the film.
I found it very effecting that in the opening odf se7en you never saw the characters face and this is a good convention as it gives mystery for the audience this gave an confusing affect but alos would keep the audience interested.
Catch me if you can
As soon as someone would watch this the fiorst thing they would notice is that the opening is animated. I found this very interesting and think an audience would find this interesting as it is different way of showing what may be in the film its self. I found that it all links together and is never stopping which would keep a viewer interested throughout the short period. I found that catch me if you can built up curorisity as a man is running throughout it and this could be question, why is he running? Even though i thought it was effective in showing animation, I dont hink the opening sequence shows help for the audience to understand location, character and purpose as it is animated and you do not get to see the real characters in life and show there surrounding s which would have been good to show to help the audience with their understanding.
Opening to our thriller.
A man walks into a building and walks down a corridor. He then walks into the room and sits down at his desk. The man then starts writing a letter and the main content says 'its done' He then picks up his wedding photo that is on his desk and then smashes, as he does this he hears a bang. He then stands up and tries to call out but does not see anything. Suddenly a shady figure walks into the room the man is in then points a gun and the man and a large stand off occurs. Muttering is heard, then a large gunshot. The shot cuts to a man scratching a 5 tally chart on a wall.
When doing our opening to our thriller we will have to use different shots and we need to plan this.

Director information
Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese.
Alfred Hitchcock was born on 13 August 1899 and died 29 April 1980. At the beginning of his career he was very sucessful with his silent films and early talkies in the united Kingdom but then moved to Hollywood and in 1956 he was an american citizen. Hitchcock sucess included his fifty feture films within his six decade career.
As Hitchcocks career was launching he was inspired by may other films and directors. As he worked with F.W Murnau with his films he was impressed with his techniques and then used some in his own productions. Hitchcock also said that he was infulenced by Fritz Lang's film, Destiny (1921).
Hitchcock had a few problems when his career first was lanched as some of his productions did not succeed such as Number 13 which had finanical problems. He then directed a drama called mountain Eagle but this was lost. His career got increasingly better as he made his first thriller called The Lodger: A story of the London frog in 1927. Hitchcock was very sucessful from then on and made the following films.
