Our Story board



















This story plan was as a group a frame we all worked on but throughout the making of the stroy board are group came acroos the diffuclty of get all the imput we wanted so as a result some of the final cut of the film wouldnt be excast to the board but more along the lines a gide for example i disceded that the flash backs of the film wasnt as a pealing to me as i first fort so i cut it out and concentrated on a more detailed storline on the esablishing shits of the area in were the incedent with Scott took place.

Also another big debate was how the start of the opening thriller ended some people in our group wanned it to end with us the to wealther charecters Norman and Bradon asking themself were he gould be and others wanted it to just end on the cut of the phone with the name of the title "Behind it All" i oped for this one because in my opinoun it made the operning more effective and not drag on.

Sound

In the opening sequence of my film the sound is going to start of with a simple heart beat or vibration in witch creating teniton on nervs of the audience. Acomnying this is the introduction of an eerie noise (starting at the first shot) running through the hole of the operning thriller witch gets louder and lower in key moments of the film, for example when the audience views a mid shot of Scott lieng down the eerie noice stops completely and the heart be gets louder witch represents the question of the survival "is he dead or alive". Then the eerie music comes back into play as soon as the shot changes. Also in my opening thriller as the staring names of the chacters shown its a comanied by a little wispher of sound sending a chill down the spine of a audience just keepin them tence and still firsty to see more. It ends with another burst of screaching sound again keepin the audience edgy witch is tipical with the convention of the genre.

Initial Ideas

from the off, i realy wanted to do the triller genre, as we gathered so much information on it in lesson time and also it added to my choice as it's one of my favorite film genres . The rest of my group was really keen on doing an action film but manged to persuad them on insuring the thriller genre would be suitable as everyone's formiluar with it and plus its still fresh in our head, in the end they went along with it .First of we was thinking of a location i wanted to do it in a airy but practical common area witch then came to my idea of as a park. As a group we then diced to do it in sutton common park and some of the back roads near it. Our first idea was to have a normal school boy shot dead with a phone ringing, we then realized that guns wasn't aloud to be shot (safety reasons in the public) but in the end worked in our favor as it would make us have to work around it leaving the audience with more suspense and questions witch it a convention of a thriller.

Film synopsis of my groups thriller



After analysing numerous amounts of opening thriller films it was time to start on planning a thriller film of our own. Before this could happen we as groups of 3 would have to make a detailed plan and overview of the story and then plan in=t in a story bored. The reason why we Have to come up with a hole thriller story line is because it well help us as a group to come up with a detailed opening thriller story and inputting all the conventions on what makes a good thriller, for example having a clue/hint in the opening sequence which doesn’t make sense but feather down the line in the story it will fit in perfectly due to the non liner story line.


Plot Synopsis:


There is a group of three friends. One of the friends, Scott Gregory seems to be behind the other two, (Norman Allen and Brandon Feonix). He seems to be the 'tag-along' of the group. Norman and Brandon lead quite good lives. Have a fair bit of money, both have girlfriends, they live in a slightly higher class area and they don't do very much at home as they both have a mother and a father there if they need them. Scott has only one person at home, his mother, as his father died shortly after he left his old school (which was not a very good school) to go to a better school in Sutton. As his friends keep on bragging about what they have and how well they're getting on in their school, Scott gets very angry about this and tries to keep his anger to himself. His friends, however, keep on going on about their fantastic lives and Scott just goes along with everything they are saying. Norman or Brandon might say what they have done recently. For example, going to places like the 02 or even just up to Croydon. Scott just answers them by saying "Oh, yeah. Yeah, its good there". -Even when he has never been to any of the places brought up by his friends. His friends say things like "Oh, my dad got me this I-phone for my birthday. You can do like, bare things with it, you know!". Scott would just answer, "Oh, yeah, my mum got me last years nokia" (or something along those lines). Eventually, Scott gets too frustrated and, really, looses it. He gets his hand on a gun, planning to kill his friends and hopefully take some of their things. He then saw how happy they were with everything and decided to turn the gun on him self.


After we manage to come up witha good storyline and ruff plan of what are opping storyline is going to be about we had to come yp with a title, we whated to intise views to watch it but not give too Tyler’s good thoughts
much of what the film was going to be about in the end we chose the name “BEHIND IT ALL”
curtsey of
my group is me Tyler and Jacob

Audience Research results

These results how us that age and gender matter little when I comes to thrillers and most enjoy a classic conventional thriller that feels the audience with allot of tension and suspense what was also very helpful is that the audience seem to clearly know the difference between a horror and means I will need to clearly show this in my thriller. Lastly I believe my results would only increase in the reliability by increasing the amount of people I and out my questionnaire to.
