Tutor witness statement

Evaluation

During the time that I spent on unit 23 I believe I preformed well gaining a understanding in the production of film and T.V. during Unit 23 i created a successive opening to a thriller movie in a group of three. My part of the Thriller opening sequence was cinematographer i did all of the filming for the film and also edited my version of our thriller. we took allot of time and care planning the opening sequence making sure that everything worked according to plan. The technical quality of the opening thriller sequence is that of a high quality due to the use of a Sony HDV camera. In the filming progress the main problems where the lighting and wind caused to be different on different days of filming causing the scenes to change every few minuets from a calm sunny day to a cloudy windy day. By using this camera the film looks more professional than using a small handheld camera. In conclusion i believe working in my team i was able to make a professional looking movie opening, also come to grips with the main understanding of the film and T.V. franchise if able to give the movie opening again it would become more professional and a longer movie opening

Media Homework: Research on the production team and storyline of a thriller

Pierre Morel - Taken

Storyline: Seventeen year-old Kim is the pride and joy of her father Bryan Mills. Bryan is a retired agent who left the Central Intelligence Agency to be near Kim in California. Kim lives with her mother Lenore and her wealthy stepfather Stuart. Kim manages to convince her reluctant father to allow her to travel to Paris with her friend Amanda. When the girls arrive in Paris they share a cab with a stranger named Peter, and Amanda lets it slip that they are alone in Paris. Using this information an Albanian gang of human traffickers kidnaps the girls. Kim barely has time to call her father and give him information. Her father gets to speak briefly to one of the kidnappers and he promises to kill the kidnappers if they do not let his daughter go free. The kidnapper wishes him "good luck," so Bryan Mills travels to Paris to search for his daughter and her friend

Legal & Ethical

Legal and Ethical issues related to my thriller opening

Legal
Product placement
There will be no product placement throughout the movie. Product placement is when films include specific products (Such as James Bonds's Aston Martin) and advertise them generally for money.

Certification (BBFC)
The opening sequence of the film would be rated U due to the fact that no language, sex, nudity, drugs etc is shown. The film as a whole would more than likely be rated 15 as frequent use of strong language will be used and violence may be strong. Filming of the violence in the rest of the thriller will not focus heavily on blood, gore and injuries so we feel that the 18 rating was too much.  We thought that we would try to keep the film into a lower classification as possible in order to be appeal to a wider variety of audience. I gathered information of certification guidelines from the BBFC website.

Copyright
Their are no copyright issues within the Thriller opening sequence. However the script will be copyrighted by us and all of the work we did was our own (for example we did not use a copyrighted music track)

Ethical
Drugs
Drugs are not used or referenced at all during our thriller opening sequence. if we did reference drugs we would not be allowed to encourage drug misuse within the rating of a 15 film. also easily accessible drugs such as aerosols is unlikely to be acceptable

Sex
No sex or nudity is shown throughout the film, sex has a huge impact of how a film is rated. if the thriller did include a sex scene it would have to be rated 18.

Racism
Racism is unacceptable and unnecessary. It definitely will not be used in our thriller.

Links to Thrillers that will influence our Thriller

The Shining 

The suspense and build up towards the scene, then a sudden burst aggression, how i would incorporate this into the move would be giving a gradual buildup then a quick burst like the axe scene did for the Shining.

Psycho 

The split personality giving a subtle killer instead of a mask wearing murder, with a schizophrenic killer it gives an element of unpredictability not knowing when the change in personality would happen. What i would like to incorporate character unpredictability into the film to make the suspense and tension carry out throughout the film.

Reservoir Dogs

Based in one room with flashbacks and cuts to other characters focusing more on the characters than the job that just took place. I will incorporate from Reservoir dogs is the location types keeping it all down to one specific location having flashbacks and flash forwards to other places focusing on the two characters during the aftermath.

American psycho

The Psychological aspect unsure of how real the film is starting off with the film seeming real but then changing half way through giving a different look to it changing the theme and atmosphere of the movie. This can be incorporated because giving the techniques used in the film we can make it seem as though the characters are loosing track of reality. 

Scarface

The drug element giving the foundation of the film also the feeling of isolation the main character gets going throughout the film. The aspects that can be incorporated would be would be the theme of the movie the drugs and the feeling that the main character will loose common sense and loose faith in the people around him.

The Bourn Trilogy 

The modern setting gives the film a James Bond feel to it also the fact the main character is being watched  can give people a fear of open spaces and crowds and cause people to be paranoid. This will incorporate into our film because the main character can have a feeling of been watched causing him to become paranoid.
