Year 13's came in to our media lesson to offer us advice, tips and hints on filming our thriller and the proper preparation needed to make us ready for filming. They gave us simple points of what to do and what to not do, and what is good to include to make the thriller look professional and to get us good grades. The talk was a helpful insight and showed us clearly what we need to do. Points they made include:
- Get permission for the location at which you wish to film,
- Plan everything thoroughly before going to film,
- Be original with the idea of your thriller, don't do something that’s been done already,
- Use correct iconography; make the film look believable with props, costume and character, i.e. not using a water pistol as a prop,
- Film as soon as possible to have time to work on the blog, editing and evaluation,
- Avoid dialogue in the film, makes it look unprofessional,
- Distribute the work evenly,
- Don't make the blog solely written, upload videos and use other means of posting,
- Take photos of location,
- Be prepared for people letting you down,
- Be consistent and make sure the film has continuity,
- Think through the storyline of your film,
- Film more than you need to.
Having been given this talk we have been given vital tips and advice to make the filming process easier and to give us an idea as to how to film and prepare the best way possible, by people which have already done it and have the experience.
