After my group came to the final decision of what we wanted as our thriller idea we planned out all of the details we wanted to use such as costume, props and casting. Following this we needed to answer the important question of will this be a goof thriller? and how will it look on camera? For this reason it is extremely important to do a test shoot to make any decisions on what does and does not work and the best angles to use at each moment of action during the thriller. Being able to have a visual representation of a non final production of your thriller idea gives you things that will need to be re-thought and which parts need to be developed to make the best possible thriller.
In order to prepare for this test shoot we had to think about what is going to happen at each shot of the thriller and different angles we can shoot at to make it the best it can be. We began by establishing all the key moments and positions the characters will be in for example the male sequence follows: Sat on the sofa, answering a mobile phone, standing up, holding the females hand, kissing the girl, pulling out teeth, cutting hair and finally a final infliction of pain with a blow to the head. Once we had written out onto a piece of paper each of the things that are performed we agreed on a variety of angles to use and chose to shoot in a room that has a basic concept of the room we would ideally like to use for the real thing.
To prepare for this we had to establish a variety of shots that can be used at different point and it which sections we would like to use them. We also had to make a plan of the dialogue we hoped to use to give an indication of what words will be used during certain action and to create queues to make the test shoot run smoothly. All in all the preparation was a success and we are ready to film the test shoot and put it all together to give an indication of what we are working with and to get targets to improve on.
