Media Studies Project 1


NAME:JASON ASARE
CANDIDATE NUMBER:2355
For my groups preliminary task, we chose for this short sequence to be a crime/thriller type genre. We thought this would be exciting for an audience and would allow us to use a variety of different angles and shots for dramatic effect. We also agreed that it would make for interesting dialogue.
After researching into the various features and focuses of a crime or thriller film, we have taken into consideration the structure of our scene. We decided that for a thriller type sequence, we would use dialogue and non-diegetic sound in order to create tension and anticipation for the audience, eventually building up to a climax.
A good thriller conveys different emotions well and shows the perspective of various characters to create a certain atmosphere. For our project we will use mise-en-scene and various camera angles to show the emotions of each character through stance, facial expression and dialogue.
Another crucial element of a thriller film is for it to be exciting for the audience as well as keeping within a story. We have taken inspiration from this and implemented an action segment of our story, this would allow us to make good use of tracking shots and various angles, as well as creating an entertaining sequence.

Another element of a thriller film we have used is to imply to the audience what is going on rather than have characters tell them. In our scene we decided that it would be exciting for the audience to have a sense of mystery, we organised our dialogue in a way that doesn’t give away the story completely leaving the audience to wonder what is going to happen as we believe this will build suspense in our film.


 SCRIPT
The genre of this scene is thriller which is meant to create suspense and get the audience more interested in what is going on this script was made by me (Jason) and the idea of it came to mind due to how the scene was planned and structured its a type of a scene that is meant to leave suspense and get the audience to know what is likely to happen next.

(Kierann Sits At A Table Opposite Jason Who Is Already Seated)


Jason: Good Morning
Kierann: Did you bring it?
Jason: Yeah I did.
Kierann: Okay so how we going to do it?
Jason: We are going to split it 50/50
Kierann: NO!!!
Jason: Why not?
Kierann: It should be split 60/40 I will get 60% of it and you will get 40% of it.
Jason: Why?
Kierann: Because I took the most risks during this risky business.
Jason: Ok fine, have it your way.
Kierann: I want to see if you really brought it
so let me see.
Jason: Promise me you won’t run away with it
Kierann: I promise.
Jason: Okay
 (Jason hands over the brief case to Kierann, he opens it slowly he sees what is in it he closes it quickly flips the table over Jason and runs with the brief case then the chase begins.)

This shot list helped in creating our film because it allowed us to decide what comes first and last, it also made the filming process organised, so when it came to filming it became straightforward and went exactly to plan as the shot list guided as to what needs filming and when.

Preliminary Task Storyboard

The storyboard helped my group and I in creating our film because it gave us a rough idea on how we were going to structure each scene and in the long run it helped us because we filmed everything according to how we structured the storyboard.
