Getting Everyone on the Same Schedule!

  Props:    We have a lot of props in ideas to use. We are planning to use toy guns as props. We also plan to use many items like plastic knives, walkie-talkies, and badges to make are actors look like special agents. We also may use some cardboard or plastic to make barricades and obstacles.     Costumes:   For costumes, we plan on using all-black clothing. We will use long sleeves and sweatpants to make it fit in with the idea of a special agent team. We also have ski masks to cover the faces to make things even more realistic. We plan to have the president in a suit with some form of indication that it's the president.    Schedule:   As of now, we plan to film over the period of spring break 5/17-5/26.

To fix this I had to wait until my phone sent the recording to my computer over stronger wifi. When this did not work either I had to use a cable to transfer the recording at the highest quality possible. When I got to school and added the music in Ryan listened and decided that there was a better part of the song we should use. We recorded this part of the song and tried adding the m...

Genre Research: Thriller

  Camera Angles   Common camera angles in Thrillers are high angles, close-ups, and tilted. The high angle makes the actor in the camera look vulnerable. Close-ups show really what the actor's reaction is and how they are feeling. A tilted shot adds dramatic tension to the scene.    Camera Shots   Long shots and over-the-shoulder shots are commonly used in Thrillers. Long shots in Thrillers are used to make something feel far away or unobtainable. The over-the-shoulder shot builds up tension and suspense.   Camera Movements   A commonly used camera movement in Thrillers is tracking. Tracking is used to make an actor look as if they are being watched or followed.   Mis-En-Scene   In a thriller, the costumes are commonly casual. The lighting is usually dim and low. The acting is traditionally worried, scared, and concerned. Commonly low to no makeup . Props in thrillers are traditional weapons for either the protagonist or the antagonist to u...
