Re-shooting

Well, we basically had to re-shoot everything, most of our shots were too distorted because of our use of handy cams, we asked our teacher to look over our shots and she told us to try use the tripods, at first we thought of using stabilisers, but after tthe use of the tripods we found out that it worked as well and in some cases even better.

Pitch of "the taken"

We are going to do a thriller and at the start we are going to have girl walking in a discreet lonely silent area we are going to use a tunnel for filming in and around the tunnel. Also having footsteps in the background as diagetic sound. But throughout don’t see the face of the person who is grabbing the people but as the baddy goes to grab it cuts of. A baddy with different shots of him.

For our opening of our film, we are going to a do a thriller-based opening. At the start we will have a girl walking through a dark and isolated tunnel, by herself to also show how she is lonely and to build suspense. We will have a shot that shows the tunnel to be in a vast and deserted area. We will also have a shot from the back of the tunnel to elongate and furthermore isolate the location. We will hopefully set out on a dark and cloudy day to create a bleak atmosphere and a thrill to the audience “pathetic fallacy” footsteps of the girl walking on her own shall also be used to create a more tense atmosphere for the audience. We are trying to create a nail biting introduction to our movie, to achieve this we shall use fast cut shots to create a sense of danger and panic .we will also include a wind howling effect to further on exaggerate danger, as the girl is then walking through the tunnel we shall hear rapid footsteps and the camera shall move with the girl turning around showing her POV when she turns back around we shall also get an over the shoulder shot from the front showing a figure at the back of the shot which is meant to be the “villain”
