Royal Pictures' roles allocations

Allocated Roles:

Dwayne Grossett (Me) - Filming & Producing
I was choose to do the filming because personally in my free time I tend to do a great amount of filming, so that meant that I had a little experience and we decided an task which everyone in the group would be suitable with.
Producer: The role of this person is to manage the budget of the film production. They supervise the making of the film. They present the film to the film distributor in order to gain investment. This person provide the equipment for the film to the directors, editors etc.     

Blaise Nkay - Mise-en-scene
Blaise was chosen to do the Mise-en-Scene (location manager) because he felt that he would be able to find a house for us to do our house scene and he found it easier to deal with all the things we needed for the scene.
Location manager: The role of this person is to find a location where the action will take place. A risk assessment has to take place too see whetehr the place is safe enough for the filming to take place. The location they find must be effective enough for the genre of the film.

Divinia Griffiths - Music & Directing
Divinia was chosen and agreed to do the music, due to her having experience in the music department and knew how to operate the equipment needed to create and add the music to the scenes.
Director: The directors are the people who make the characters. They essentially have the overall say in what happens in the film, where it happens and how it happens. They are in control over all aspects of film making. This is in order to make the film a good representation towards the film distributor.

Characters - Girl (Tracy) played by Shamika Bonner-Francis
Stalker (Unknown) played by Riccardo Di Natale

Originally our actress was Shamika Bonner-Francis, but due to a dropout from the original actress, we then choose Kishan Talla-Clarke due to her also being a extraordinary actress and was always our second choice if anything was meant to go wrong with our first actress, which something did.
Due to our filming being stored on a broken camera, we had to film again, but this time Kishan wasn't able to attend because she was on holiday, so our first choice actress Shamika said she would be able to do it this time around, so we decided to use her.
Riccardo Di Natale was chosen because personally my team and I felt that he fitted the whole stalker because he has that creepy look and when asked to show us a example of how he would act, he showed us that he was capable of being our stalker.
We all took in the role of editing,but Divinia had more control due to her owning the equipment needed for the editing.

Scenery

So far my group and I have came up with an in-house based setting and the opening scene shall contain a little footage which contains a alley way and a few streets.
We decided that our scenery is going to be set at our team mate (Divinia Griffiths) house, which is set in Palmers Green. Our chase scene was going to be in a alley way near Great cabridge road, but we then we decided to do it a little closer to home and chose to set the scene in a alley way on Hertford road.

What Is A Thriller?

What is a thriller?
A thriller is a genre that consists of suspense, tension and excitement as main elements used. A thriller normally has a supernatural twist which has an effect on the viewers mood, giving them high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, surprise, but most commonly 'anxiety' and 'terror'. Not to be confused with horror. Thrillers tend to be adrenaline-rushing, valiant, inspiring and fast-paced causing viewers to be at the edge of there seats.

Types Of Thrillers:

  • Crime Thriller
  • Conspiracy Thriller
  • Erotic Thriller
  • Legal Thriller
  • Political Thriller
  • Psychological Thriller
  • Rape and Revenge Thriller
  • Supernatural Thriller

For the past few weeks, my AS Media class have been focusing on the thriller genre and have been put into groups to create a short thriller film.
My Group/Production company 'Viva La Revolucion' consists of : Dwayne Grossett (Me), Blaise Nkay and Divinia Griffiths.
