Prelim Planning

Narrative
For preliminary task I am working in a group of four and have to film a short clip of someone walking through a door and having a conversation. In our video we have to include a shot-reverse-shot with at least four lines of speech, a person walking through a door and an action match. The storyline, costumes, props and location are all up to us.
In our group we decided on the genre of thriller. The basis of our video is, a woman is walking into her kitchen to fetch a glass of water and is shocked to see a murderous villain waiting for her arrival. The two characters end up having a heated conversation, and the scene is left on a cliff hanger as the killer hints that something bad is going to happen to her.

Structure
Below is a written storyboard of the structure of our film, including shot angles and sizes as well as sound.

In our preliminary we will be using a series of techniques such as, shot-reverse-shot, close ups, extreme close ups, slow motion, over-the-shoulder shot, a pan and a tracking shot.

Script
We are going to have a small amount of dialogue in our prelim film as we want to create suspense and tension, using dramatic pauses. 

Lucy(protagonist):''Fancy seeing you here''
Marisa(antagonist):''What have you done with her?''
Lucy(protagonist):''Why don't you come over here?''
Marisa(antagonist):''What have you done with her, where is she!?'
Lucy(protagonist):''Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough...''

We want the protagonist to repeat her lines of speech to build tension and drama, as well as emphasising and drawing attention to the idea that someone is missing, automatically making the audience ask question, which is typical of a thriller.

Sound                                                                                                 

In our preliminary video we will be using sound effects, such as footsteps, and a cup dropping on the floor. We will also be using music in the background to create tension and add drama and suspense. This is the website we will be using to source our copyright free music is http://www.freesfx.co.uk/music/ The sound in our video will be key to create the perfect atmosphere. We aim to create a tense, mysterious and sinister ambience.
