Risk Assessment - Miss Georgiou

Risk assessment 

Why is is important to consider risks before filming? 
It is important to consider risks before filming so that we can prevent any serious injury's from taking place and to advise the filming crew so they can insure they are aware to avoid a injury from occurring. 

How will the risk assessment assist you with filming?
The risk assessments will assist us with filming as we can be aware of the places we can and cannot film so we can make different arrangements. Also as we will have to check before we start to film.

Opening Scenaration - Miss Miller

Our first slide has a duration of 6 seconds. It is a panning shot of the setting which is an industrial park. It shows low key lighting which is conventional to the thriller genre as it builds suspense. We used a straight cut to go onto the next scene. Our next frame lasts 4 and is a long shot of the blonde actress. We also use low key lighting again and the actress used in the frame is Hannah. We use the non diegetic sound of a soundtrack in this clip as it is conventional to the thriller genre as it helps to build suspese and to foreshadow something bad is going to happen. We also use the parralell sound of wind so the audience can relate to everyday life which makes it more realistic for them which will lead to the audience being more frightened as it could happen to them. We use a straight cut to change into the next frame. This is conventional to the thriller genre as it causes a jumpy effect from frame to frame which can frighten  the audience which is the main purpose of the genre. Our next frame is a close up of Hannahs face, this camera shot is conventional to the thriller genre as we can closely see the emotions show on the characters face which will help them build a relationship, In our thriller the audience will begin to feel sorry for Hannah as we see her sad and crying. While we see the close up of Hannah we have the parralel sound of rain and wind to link the film to a real life situation. Our next frame is a Point of view/handheld camera this is convention to the thriller genre as it shows the audience the characters perspective which will help build a relationship with the characters as they experience whatever motions they do.

Our following frame is a handheld camera we use a handheld camera facing the femle at eyelevel. We use this as it creates a jerky, uneasy effect. Also as the camera is at eyelevel we see a full face of Hannah. This means we can see her emotionals which is conventional to the thriller genre as it builds a relationship with the characters and the audience as they sense their emotions in this case it will show the female actresses fear. We go onto the next clip by using a straight cut and this clip is a long shot of Hannah when she is walking in the industrial park.

Filming schedule - Miss Georgiou


Filming schedule 

Why is it important to have a filming schedule?
It is important to have a filming schedule to make everything run efficiently and smoothly. Also as we all know what we will be doing next and which camera angles and scenes we are filming next. 

Did you follow the filming schedule or did you make any changes?
We partly used the filming schedule as it changed when we was their due to location and the different camera angles we used to make our thriller opening better quality.
