Pictures Of The Set

Here are a few pictures of us filming the thriller intro:

Planning My Thriller - Securing the Location

I have looked around my immediate vicinity that would be readily accessible for the logistical side of not only transporting myself and the equipment needed, as well as a location that my actors will be able to reach. But also the location would need to tick all the check boxes that will ultimately make my intro good. These include:

• Ergonomically if it is easy to film there.
• If it is safe to film there.
• If the set is aesthetically pleasing and accompanies my idea.
• If I am allowed to film there.

It is a huge importance to me that I did not film like many of my other students at our school Aldenham. My teachers have said that it has got very repetitive and boring watching everyone's films being set in Aldenham so I have chosen a place near it which has never been filmed before.

It is for all of these reasons that I believe I have found the exact perfect location to film at: Otterspool Lane, Bushey.

Planning My Thriller - Choosing Actors

Today I made final arrangements on who will be the actors in my thriller intro. For the antagonist I needed someone strong, tall and powerful. It is for that reason I asked my friend Will Stein (Age 17) to play this role.

The protagonist on the other hand had to be smaller, weaker etc. For those reasons I asked my friend Anthony Zorbis  (Age 17) to play this role.

I Will now refer to those roles with the actors first names that are playing them e.g. in storyboards and when writing in evaluation.
