Music

The music is now completed and the theme around it is very random and abstract, giving the audience a chance to immerse in the crazy world in which the 2 characters live in. Throughout the music there is a constant clock ticking representing the title inheritance. The random effects, of various items is to create a sense of madness for the audience.

Music

The music is a combination of lots of different tracks taken from Garage Band. We tried make it as creepy and thriller like by adding different tracks such as phone tracks, morse code and cycle noises. This enabled us to make the atmosphere more realistic and fit in with the video.

Location shots

Below is the location shots we took for our Thriller

vicotrian/modern day man

because the film opening transitions from old to modern on a split screen, we have decided to make the mens dress style similiar ,we will be using classical victorian fashion which is common for the era, and modern day male clothing which is popular and fashionable.

Watch/pocket watch

These two items are essential to the theme and plot of the film, so we shall either go with one pocket watch(passed down from generations) or use two separate time keeping devices. However I believe that one time piece would be better as it would fit with the title inheritance.

costumes continued

we have decided to dress the victorian man (lawrence) possibly in a blazer and a waiste coat.we will also try and have these items made out of tweed.

Costumes

the thriller is supposily a cross between the victorian era and the modern age, so we to cross over of two styles :victorian gentle and modern day office worker.

Definition Research

Continuity Editing:
Continuity editing is the main style of editing in narrative cinema and television. The objective of continuity editing is to correct the break continuity of the editing process and to establish a logical understanding between shots.


180 degree rule: 
The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same angular relationship between each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary line connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.

Match on action:

A match cut is a cut in film editing between either two different objects, two different spaces, or two different compositions in which an subject in the two shots graphically match, often helping to establish a strong continuity of action and linking the two shots metaphorically.

shot reverse shot:

Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.
