Shooting Risk Assessment
This is an image of our Shooting Risk Assessment form that Aaron has filled in. Our main risks were travelling to our venue by train, electrical shock hazards, tripping over wires for our lighting and slipping in wet conditions in the rain.
Storyboard
This is the storyboard I have made. My group helped me with ideas and had a previous draft before this which we have no improved on.

Day 2 (14th November)- Our prezi was created for our documentary and we presented it to the class. Good feedback was given back to us for us to improve and we didn't get much criticism. With the feedback we then made a few changes to our storyline and then was discussed with Miss Brookes.

The titles in this film opening are all in capitals and have a white, bold font. Many thrillers tend to use capitals and bold writing like this film. The titles are all animated the same on green lines to a black background. The music in the background is very tension building and has the effect of a thriller as the tension shows something scary or strange is going to happen. The use of black, green and white colours shows it isn’t a very uplifting film as they are dim, boring colours, although the use of green shows it as more of a thriller.

An
interview will take place with a man of 30 who is recovering from living in his
kidnapper’s cabin for 15 years when he was just 15 years old. Throughout this
film opening we will show evidence of the conditions the man lived in and talk
about how the psycho was found. We imagine the man as a psycho because the
conditions he lived in turned him mental.

Our
genre is a documentary. Although it comes across as a thriller we are showing
the life of the psycho in a documentary and then interviewing them.
