Before we started filming our thriller the year 13's gave us tips on what we should do:
1. They advised us that we should have a detailed storyboard so we could go straight to a location with a plan on what to do there without changing our mind when we got to our location.
2. The location should be original to get more marks because some groups had used the same location and chose a horror/thriller genre, whereas, being different will get you more marks.
3. Our thriller should have minimal dialogue if any, but we've already shown that we can create a piece without dialogue (Prelim).
4. We should start filming as soon as possible in case we need to retake any shots; the more shots the better.
5. Spending time on the music is vital for our thriller because we can't use any song, due to it being copyrighted.
6. Don't rush the process of editing because that is a crucial element with getting the most marks we can.
7. Don't be afraid to change things within our piece. We think changing things within our thriller would be for the best because it shows that we can alter our ideas in a better way that will benefit us.
8. We should have a specific idea about what we want our thriller to look like so we have a goal to aim for and this means our idea will be the same but it's the little things that we change that would count.
9. Don't leave the blog until the last minute, otherwise it will get left, which is why we are updating it every time we complete a piece of work.
10. Try not to bring a large group of people into your thriller because it's mayhem trying to get everyone to do what you want when they wont listen.
11. Be original with blog posts, try not to keep doing something different every time we post on to our blog, otherwise we would over do it.
12. Get realistic props! Some thrillers we saw used unrealistic props and they didn't look as best as they could have done.
13. Don't film in an area which is too dark, you will not be able to see anything on the film..
14. If we use anyone in our two minute thriller, find good actors otherwise they could jeopardise our grade!
15. Use a variety of shots instead of the ones we have planned on our storyboard; some could be better than others.
16. Filming lots of footage on a single day can ensure that we would definitely find the right combination of shots to put together.
17. Make a good plan! This means we can get the shots we want done straight away, then begin on the alternative shots that we could use in our thriller. Our plan must not be vivid.
18. We need to check the weather to ensure that we have the right conditions to film, plus the weather determines our costumes for the thriller.
19. The main thing we need to watch out for is continuity editing because if our cuts are not perfect or things are different it will affect our grade drastically!
20. Finally, it doesn't matter too much with how long it is, but the maximum is 2 minutes 30 seconds. This isn't too important because we can just cut bits out to make it within the 2 minute mark and our planning will initially tell us how long it will be.
