PLANNING:

After doing the research tasks, we had to move on to start planning the opening of our own thriller film; Watching. (This title is subject to change, depending on the results of the questionnaire).

Equipment list:
• Mac computers- to edit the footage.
• Camera digital standstill- to be able to show locations and photos of what the place is like.
• Video cam cord- to film the footage for the opening.
• USB- to store the files and documents.
• Tripod- to keep the shots steady and smooth when filming.
• Microphone- for the music if needed.
• Tape/memory card- to store the footage
• Final cut- editing software
• Garage band/music software- to apply music to the film

Cast list:
Courtney is going to be the character in the film, the character is about 18 year old girl, named Adele; the character is going to be is someone who is scared of walking home in the dark as she thinks she being followed. Once she at home she is relieved, only to find that strange things are happening at home. Paris the Cat and Lucky the Dog are extras, and appear in the house when Adele gets home.

Location:
The location of the filming we are doing for the film Watching, is located in Muxton. There is a bus route that goes into Muxton and through the road at Fieldhouse Drive the character Adele is first seen getting off the bus and walk to an alley way which is also in field house drive to get to another road called Meadow Road where she lives. The house is also located in Muxton in Meadow Road. We don’t need to get any permission for our film as we are using places that we know we can film at without permission as it not anybody property. The access of this area is easy and the house we allowed to use it very easy to access as the property belongs to someone we know.

Costume and props:
Props: everyday living furniture e.g. TV, saucepan, keys, lighting. This is to give the place a feel of an ordinary house, everyday living so the audience can relate to the house and everyday living but kind of creeps them out with the tension that is built throughout the film.
Other props are a bag when she is walking home.
Costume: smart clothes, skirt, a top, leggings and dolly shoes.

Who is the film aimed at?
The film is aimed at people over the age of 15. There will be minor violence in the film, so people who don’t like violence wont be offended and those who do like violence will be satisfied. It will be targeted to a young audience as the main character is about 18years old.
I think that the film we are making will appeal to both men and women, as the film genre is a crime thriller. It is for people who enjoy mind-puzzling films, and who like to try and solve a crime along with the detectives.

Certificate:

I think the film that we are making should be a 15 because it has got small amounts of violence near the start of the film. Also throughout the film there might be strong language. In our film there might also be some weapons that will be used by police officers/ figures of authority. But it won’t have too much strong detail on violence, language and weapons they won’t be promoted or encouraged in our film and by what the BBFC suggest there can be some in the film just as long as it isn’t in much detail, promoted or encouraged. With the language, it can be strong, but it won’t be really strong language, so we won’t have to justify it, as it won’t be particularly extreme or used often.
