Risk Assessment

The only risk in our film opening would be to do with the car however as Reece isn't actually driving the car there will be no risk. The car will be stationary on the drive or parked on the street in a safe place causing no risk to Reece, pedestrians or other cars on the road. When the person who is acting like they have been hit is lying on the floor the car engine wont be on and also they will actually be on the drive to avoid any risk there may be if another car were to drive up the road.

Character, costume and props

I will be the main character for our film. We thought this because it isn't usually heard of that men have OCD. Also, it is stereotypical that a male is more likely to kill someone. 

For our film opening, we first see the characters getting out of his car. For this, we will need to show a car so therefore we need to make sure we have one. This will be fine because a member of our group has a car and we will be filming at the same house that the car is at. 

Another prop that we will need is paperwork and office equipment as we see him rearranging paperwork on his desk. For this, we will just get some paper and write some things on it so they look like important documents. We will also get a stapling gun and a hole punch so it looks like he does a lot of office work at home. 

Charlie or Emily will need to be used to show a body on the road to show that the main character has killed somebody. The other member will also need to be used to show somebody crossing the road at the end as the characters next target.

Shot List

This is a shooting list we have made showing the order in which we will shoot different parts of our film opening. We have decided to do it in the order where we film the flash back last in order to keep continuity with things such as the lighting and it will make it easier as he won't have to keep changing clothes. We are going to try and film it all on one day as it will be quite easy as were only in one location however if we run out of time we will do shots 10 onwards on a different day.

Location Shots

This is the car that the male with OCD will be sat in. The side of the car will be filmed showing the male in this. 

The front door will be shown in a few shots as this is where we see the male running in and out of the house. The house is our main setting for the intro.

 This is showing the view from the front door showing inside the lounge where the light switch is that he always has to check, and the porch where we see his shoes.

 This is the view of the lounge that we will see the male walking through avoiding the rug.

 This will be the angle at which we see the male walking around the rug.

 This is the stairs that we see the male running up from this angle.

This shot is clearly shown on the animatic storyboard where we see the man coming up the final steps.

This is also shown on the storyboard as we are going to show where the male walks into the bedroom and then back into the bathroom.

 This is the view that we will show the man reinforcing his OCD with the messy paper making it back into a neat pile.

 This is the angle of which we will film the male washing his hands and looking into the mirror.

This is the mirror that the male will be looking into before and after the flashbacks of murdering someone. 

Target Audience

We have chosen as a group that we are targeting our film opening to around the 20 to 30 year olds. The reason for this is because we believe that this is the age group that will understand our film opening. We thought that a younger teen will not understand what is happening in our film. Also, there is an ethical issue of exposing murder to younger children.  

When asking our target audience what they thought of our chosen age group, this is what they thought:

Indi, 17: I think that the target audience suits the basis of the film because if the film was exposed to younger children, they would maybe be psychologically harmed and would not understand it.

Emily, 17: I think the film could be shown to younger people that 20 as i think 15 year olds would understand the storyline.

Josephine, 16: The storyline can be very hard to understand, especially with the younger aged not knowing what is happening, so i think the age group that you are targeting really suits the film opening.

This is a map showing different tribes of teenagers/ young adults. It is a way of putting individuals into groups depending on what they do, wear and like. Everyone in their tribe will be very similar to them and enjoy the same things. Using this we will find the group of people which are most likely to enjoy our gritty realism film helping us to find out what types of people our target audience is and helping us to aim our film opening towards these people.

Young Alts are one group I think would enjoy gritty realism films. They want out of the mainstream things other people enjoy such as your main stream films in cinemas. They are therefore more likely to go to art house cinemas and watch gritty realism films made for the niche audience.

Another group I think would be our target audience would be creatives as they like new creative things which haven't been done before. Gritty realism films are about things you don't hear a lot about therefore I think creative tribes would enjoy our film.

sound experiment

One sound we needed to create was the sound of someone being hit by a car during the flashback. We searched and listened to a lot of car crash sounds on free sound and decided that these two were the best two.

 

This is the first sound we found which is the sound of a car screeching and then the sound of someone closing a kitchen drawer filled with cutlery. We thought this was a good sound for what we needed it for as you could hear the car trying to break and stop and then the drawer which sounder like the car smashing into something.

This is the second sound we found which is a car again screeching and crashing. We thought that this one sounded more like a car crashing into another car as it was much louder rather than a car hitting a person. Therefore, we have decided that the first sound is the one we will use as its more realistic and fits the purpose we need it for. 

Animatic Storyboard

                     We made an animatic storyboard showing our initial idea for our film opening.
