Props and costumes and location

Costumes

In my opening scene for the thriller there is a small child. He will be wearing something normal and is expected to be worn by a small child, Jeans and T-shirt. The first character we will encounter will be wearing a black suit, this will show he is important and professional.
The second male character will be wearing jeans, T-shirt and hoodie to cover his face. The hair style of the male character in the suit will be neat and professional with his appearance. The little boy will have a clean hair style that suits the clothes he is wearing, the hair style could be a little messy.
The second character will have a hood over his head so we don't see his face.

Props

For the scene I will need a car for the opening shot. This will most likely be a BMW. The kid will be on a laptop so i will need to have a laptop, and headphones and books on the desk that a child of his age would be reading as well as school books. for the opening i will have a scene showing how the second character got into the house, i will need a broken door.                                            

Location:

I will be using my own house as it is convenient for filming and i have planed the movie to rotate around this setting, However i could also use the house of a friend that is slight larger for more space to film in and better for lighting.

The soundtrack

The soundtrack for my thriller will include inspiration from these songs.





I will use the main chorus of the assassins creed soundtrack and adapt it to suit the thriller.
and the bass line of the James bond theme song.

Bourne Ultimatum


                                                     
From the start of the movie the audience can see that the camera is handheld as the shots are shaky, the movements of the camera tell us that scene contains a lot of action. Bourne is Being chased by the police. This creates enigma as the audience are left wondering why he is being chased. The low lighting condition of the shots help to create suspense, as well as the slight blue tint on the shots which gives the effect that the setting is cold as it is in Russia.


As Bourne gets in to the train where it should be safe the lighting is even lower. There are mid-shots used as well as close ups to show his reactions and POV shots. The horn on the train is used to create suspense as each time it horns there is a sense that something is going to happen. The atmosphere of this scene is helped by the editing as the shots do not flow, but the quick cross cutting used gives the impression that there is some sort of danger and the seriousness of the scene. This also creates suspense as the audience knows something is going to happen but do not know when. The non-diagetic music is fast paced which creates tension as the violins are played in that way, the drums are chaotic which helps the scene is an action scene. 

As he is running from the police he should not be in the same place for too long so many shots of him jumping of the train are used, the quick cut show the urgency of the escape as well as the importance of him being of the train. As he escapes there is cross cutting used to show that more police are on their way.Through out the scene there has been no dialogue, so no information has been given to the audience about why the police are after him. Bourne runs into a building, and immediately starts to go through medication and some bottles are dropped show that he is in a rush, This also show by the use of a handheld camera as the image is again shaky. The audience then is given a shot where they see that Bourne is bleeding, Therefore the man on the run movie starts by showing that the protagonist is in danger and that he might be caught. The close up of Bournes face and his breathing tells the audience that he is no longer in any danger as the non diagetic music is lowered and the shots become steady.

As he is by a sink he started to remember a situation he was in, the two scenes over lap as Bourne was washing his face in the flashback. This give the audience information about the character helping them to empathize with him. During the flashbacks the images seem distorted telling us that Bourne does not know what is going on. During the flash backs the door to the building is opened by two police officers. This creates tension as Bourne does not know this and he could be caught and the non diagetic music is used to make the audience worry about Bourne.

The flashbacks stop when the police officer touches Bourne on the shoulder. The audience expects that he has now been caught, this is challenged as bourne knocks him out and is now in possession of a gun. The audience are on edge as we do not know if he will shot the second officer. When he doesnt and says " my argument is not with you", the audience are left wondering who is argument is.

opening sequences



The tracking in the two shots are well placed as there men while being tracked by the camera walks out of the shot




The extreme close up of the Sd-card
being put into the laptop.The focus
was on the Sd-card.



There is a closeup shot of the character looking down and then it cuts to a close up of the object that is being handed to him.


sequences




One of the first shots show that the there are tree captives, this instantly raises questions about who they are or if they are just disposable characters.





The audience finds out that the main villain has is one of the people that has been captured and that it was in his plan to be captured, this makes the audience think what about what is going to happen, what is his plan. This scene has close up shots a sense of depth when the







Doesn't show the face of the antagonist or who ever he is until the very end, the rest of the time his faces in the dark like it is a silhouette
so there is a sense enigma.
