this is the animated stroy board. we added the script over the top of the story board so so the vveiwers of the storyboard will have a better understanding of what is happening in the scene

storyboard

script

this is the script for the two minute opening of the film the case. we chose to put a lot of questions in the opening so the audience are made to also think about what the answers to the questions could be such as the question "but whats in the case?" this will make the audience think about the many possibilties of what could be in the case e.g. money, a map, governmaent secrets. this will make the audience want to see the rest of the film so they can find out whats in the case

the case

actor interveiws

as you can see a lot of the answers by the differant actors are differant to each others.but some of them are the same. all of the films or actors that the actors chose to pick are famous and easily recognised instead of small budget films

opening to the case (changes)

for the opening scene to the case we have changed the original idea slightly e.g. instead of having someone as a camera man. we have all used the camera in the scenes that we are not in. besides that we have also had small changes such as instead of me not having a hand because the killer sawed it off we just had bruising on my hand.

we also improvised somethings into the scene that we only thought of just before filming such as pretending the dead body had a German passport. this peace of information makes the dead body seem like an important person because he seems as if he has gone all the way to the UK from Germany

this is a video of luke putting make up on an assistant to demonstarate the make up that was used in the filming of the case. in this clip luke melted geletin in a bowl for  10-30 seconds in the microwave so it would turn into a liquid. he then waited for the liquid to cool down. luke poured the geletin on to the assistants face and he spread it to the area he wanted to look scard . the geletin makes the skin look bumpy and rugh like a scar or burn. luke then waited for the gelotin to harden on to the assistants face and painted in red over the gelotin to give it the colour of a scar. luke also painted around the scar in a dark purple to create the effect of brusing on the assistants face because for the opening to the case we wanted to create a brusing effect on the dead body because in the storyline the dead body died from falling off a bridge (which would cause brusing.)

directors

Quentin Tarintino is one of the worlds most famous and successful directors. the first film tarintino directed and wrote was "my best freinds birthday." he has made roughly £450,000,000 in the box office so far in his directing career some of his best films have been pulp fiction,ingloriouse bastards and django unchained. aswell as being an amazing director tarintino has been in many of his own films. one of the reasons that quentin tarintino is an extremely good director is becuase he has directed many different types of films. he has directed pulp fiction which is an action film and he has also directed films such as little nivky which is a comedy
 he has worked with actors such john trivoltta, adam sandler and samuel el jackson



steven spielberg is also one of the most famous directors in the world.he has directed such films as jaws,E.T, shindlers list and saving private ryan. spielberg has made 3.3 billion off of all of his films.he is 67 years old and has succesfully directed 50 films and produced 129 films. in 1982 seven spielberg directed E.T the extra terrestrial, this was his highest grossing film.it made $435,110,554
in the box office. steven spielberg is such an amazing director because he has directed many differant types of films that belong to different genres. but he mostly direct action films. he has worked with such actors as harrison ford and tom hanks




 james cameron is another one of the worlds best directors. james ameron has directed such films as  the terminator, avatar and titanic. this is so significant because this proves that james cameron directs the best films because titanic was made in 1997 and stayed as the highest grossing film in the world with a total of $2,186,772,282 until cameron exceded himself with avatar making $2,782 275,172.this proves that there is no'one who can finacialy compeat with james camerons films. James Camerons net worth is $700 million wich is only exceeded by steven spielberg and george lucas but james cameron has only directed 13 films so it would be almost impossibal for him to make as much as spielberg. he has worked with such actors as leonado dicaprio and kate winslet





Ridley Scott is a British director who has made such films as Alien, blade runner and Thelma and Louise. Ridley Scott's current net worth is 140 million and has directed 19 films over all his highest grossing film is alien. it made $203,630,630 in the box office he as worked with such actors as Russel crow

Wes cravens current net worth is about 40 million. these are Wes cravens top ten highest grossing films. generally wes craven rights slasher films but he has wrote other films such as shocker.he has worked with such actors as Kevin Williamson and Robert Englund

this shows that wes craven is an extremely successful director because he has directed over ten successful horror films

George Lucas is one of the worlds most respected directors mainly because of his directing skills in all of the star wars films. star wars the phantom menace and it made $1,027,044,677 in the box office world wide. all of the star wars films are in the top 200 highest grossing films in history.

crime thriller mood board

this is a mood board that represents a lot of things that our associated with crime thrillers.some things that are assocciated with crime thrillers are deaths,money,detectives,crimanal files, most crimes in crime thrillers are deaths because the audience gets exited if there is a killer on the loose because this means that anyone could die at any minute and its hard to predict the next person ( if any person) is going to die yet.if no,one dies in the film/tv show than the crime commited id most oftern a robbery of a large amount . on hte mood board we also have pictures of books such as "rush of blood and the cocktail waitress." this is because the books are all crime friller books

update on the case

we have now filmed all of the footage we needed to film for the two minute opening of the case but we now have over two and a half minutes so we will probably have to edit out some of the clips. in basics the whole two minute oppening consists of a dead body being found by two detectives who find items on the dead body such as a wallet and a bag of diamonds. in a river near by the detectives find a breif case that belonged to the dead person after they find the case one of the detectives asks the other one what he thought happened and then we have a flash back scene of what happened. after this we have the two detectives open the case which builds suspence because we dont tell the audience whats in the case

genre research (horror)

genre research (horror)

in most horror films there are a lot of similarity such as in 99% of horror films someone dies.this is because this is what people who go to whats horror films expect to see. also in a lot of horror films there are a lot of stereotypical views of women such as they are weak and useless which is why in a lot of horror films if anyone trys to fight a villain its normally the lead male role. a lot of old horror films such as nightmare on elm street, Friday the 13th and Halloween have a villain who th film is based around whereas in new horror films we have been seeing this less and less.now most horror films focus on either Apocalypse or paranormal themes and the villain are either zombies or ghosts.
in any horror film old or new there is always creepy music that indicates that something bad is going to happen or the antagonist is close.

most horror characters have something about there past that made them the way they are e.g. Freddy Kruger was a pedophile so the towns people burnt him,Jason voorhees  drowned because two teenagers went watching him and Micheal Myers was locked in an insane asylum

our own production company

we have decided to make our own production company for our film (the case)  istead of using universal or columbia. we have decided to call the production company last post studios. this is because it is relevant to the people who are filming the two minute opening because the word last has the first letter of all of our names (Luke,Ashley,Sam,Tom) the last post  was also a peace of music that was played at the funeral of solders of the british empire this is significant to us because we live in britian and have great respect to the british army.the last post is treditionaly played on the bugle this is why as the main image for our production company we have a siluet of a man playing the bugle

shot types

this is a mid shot of the joker from batman the dark knight. a midshot is a shot in which we can see roughly half of a persons body a mid shot is normally used if an acotor is doing something with the uppper half of there body

this is a close up of daniel craig.a closeup is a shot in which we can only see someones face or only one single body part these shots are used if we need to see the expresion on someones face to understand the scene of a film. this shot is usually used to make the audience sypathise with a charecter

this is an extreme close up of a frogs eye. an extreme close up is like a close up but it allows the viewer to see something in a lot of detail such as eyes or lips. this kind of shot is normally used if we see a charecter cry or if we thought a charecter was dead but then they open there eye and it creates a dramatic scene

this is a long shot of a girl in the woods in a pink dress.a long shot is a shot in which we can see the whole of a persons body

this is a long shot of a women in the wood compared with an extreme long shot of a women in the woods as you can see an extreme long shot doesn't focus as much on the person but instead there whole surroundings. this kind of shot is normaly used if we are introduced to a new location and the film is trying to femilialise the audience with the location

the case is a (15)

we have decided to make our film a certifacate 15 film because it allows us to include a dead body in our film and a scene where the victum gets pushed off a bridge.it also allows the actors to use some strong language.if we made the film an 18 it would exclude quite a lot of our target audience considering our target audience is young men (15-25 year old men.)if we made our film an 18 it would exclude about 30% of our target audience.

we didnt make the film an 18 because it would be compleatly unesserccery because we are having any scenes with sexual content in our film.

genre research action

action research

action films make a lot of money in the box office. most peoples favourite films are action films. films like the dark knight ,the expendables ,casino ray ale and die hard make  a huge amount of money in the box  office. Some of the conventions of action films are strong hero character, slightly less strong villain, women who is in need of being rescued, exotic location and fast scenes and weapons.

most of the time the leading role in action films are played by strong American men like Bruce Willis or Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is because the audience will find it more believable that a man can do all these amazing things if he has an amazing physique

the villain in most action films is either from a different country or slightly eccentric. this is because it is less relatable to the viewers so they don’t feel persuaded by his or her views.

most action films have a love interest because this gives the hero a quest to complete and therefor makes the plot of the film

most action films contain a large amount of weapons because this gives the film a sense of danger and gets the viewers excited. it makes the audience believe that there is a chance that the hero could die which makes the film more exciting

the case

we have decided to call our two minute opening "the case" this is because the words the case relate to the story in two different ways. The first way it relates to it is because its a crime film, and in all crime films a detective has to solve a case. the second way that the words the case relates to the film is because in the opening two minutes we have some killed and the killer kills the man because he wants a brief case that the victim is holding. After the police and detectives show up and examine the dead body they realise that one of the hands of the dead man are missing and that there is a trail of blood leading to a river. After this we find a briefcase in the river and this builds a lot of suspense for the rest of the film because the audience will be wondering what is in the case.

genre reserch

genre research (crime)

because we are doing a crime thriller i looked at some of the conventions of crime thrillers such as in nearly all crime thrillers the crime that is committed is normal a murder because this means that the case that the detectives have to solve means more because other people could get killed.
in most crime thrillers there is a main detective and his/her sidekick.the main detective will normally have something slightly odd about him e.g. in a wheelchair, has a weird hat, has a completely out of date mustash,has wierd glasses ect. the sidekick will normally ask unnecessary questions such as "so your saying this isnt a suiced"or"do you think this was a murder  when it is clearly obverse that that is what the detective is saying.in most murders in crime thrillers there will be something that you wouldnt find in the average murder that distinguishes the murder to a certain person e.g.the detectives discover that the victim was killed with a meat cleaver so they retrace it to a butcher. in most crime thrillers the is a big question asked like "how could he kill him if he wasn't there at the time " and then the question will be answered about ten minutes before the end of the film

the

update of our 2 minute opening

01/12/2013 we were meant to film most of our 2 minute opening to the case but sadly i was ill so i couldnt go to the set but quite a lot was still filmed such as the scene where the two detectives walk over to the dead body to find out what has happened. this scene takes up about 25 seconds of our film so we still have about 1 minute 35 left of the two minute opening to film. we now have props for the scene such as police tape which makes the scene seem a lot more realistic because ever real investigation scene has police tape to tell cevillians to not be near it.we also have the police vest for the scene which also makes it seem alot more realistic because it is an item that is nesserccery for ever police officer to have
