Media Folder - Props List

The Props List shows which props are used in the Thriller and where we get them from.
We used a needle to stitch the mask, the knife and other various tools to make the studio look more like an actual scary scene. The chains we used to keep Alabama in the corner because in the actual shoot her hands are chained. We used a lot of candles because we wanted to create a special light and we needed the flickering. Also we wanted the candles to be blown out at one point except the one, to show something supernatural. The sheets are used to rip them and make the mask in the end.

Media Folder - Group Roles

The Group Roles are very important because they show which member of the group did which job and what their main part is. My part is the one of the assistant director, but i also did the painting of the storyboards, wrote the three act treatment, the introduction and the props,costume and equipment list.

We chose each group role according to the talent each person has. For example Amy is very organized, but doesn't like giving commands on the day of shoot and therefore she became the producer and i became the director and worked on the media folder.

Media Folder - Costume List

The Costume List shows what costumes are used for whom and where we get them from and if we need to buy them, where to buy.

For the male protagonist we used dark and heavy material clothes as a contrast to the white dress and barefeet girl - Alabama.
The dark clothes are stereotypical for attack, and something bad and the white clothes stand for virginity and innocence and therefore they contrast each other.

Media Folder - Equipment List

The Equipment list shows what equipment is used and reminds every group member what we need to have on the day of shoot.
It is also useful to make sure, that we don't forget any important equipment.

Media Folder - Introduction

The Introduction contains a brief Synopsis of the whole film and introduced the main protagonistst who are doing the movie.

Evaluation on the construction of storyboard

Our first storyboard for the initial idea was ineffective, messy and illogical. We broke the story board up for different people to do different shots. However we soon realised that this was not sensible and all got very confusing. This was no longer a problem when our idea was criticised and we made adjustments because we would have to create a new storyboard. Learning from experience, two group members, Tom Cunningham and I talked through the storyboard and went through shot by shot together. Although this was a slow process it ensured that we had a clear, tidy new storyboard.
I am very happy with the storyboard in which Amy Milan and Tom Cunningham produced for our group. It is very neatly present with the essential information on it. It is clear to understand which is important because the documents are very important for the director on the day of the shoot. The director needs to be able to read these documents easily, so that everything runs smoothly for our group. The shots are logical and creative. Since we adjusted our idea, our shots are more original and our narrative is less clichéd.
The shots are realistic, practical and sensible as we are not going over the top. This gives us as a group the ability to use the simple shots to make a compelling, effective sequence for our target audience. Although the drawings aren’t brilliant, they are clear and good enough for us to understand and make sense of along with the writing. As a group and individually, I am happy with what we have achieved so far.

New Storyboards

These are our final storyboards that we have created as a guideline for our production.
