Update-26th march

We have exactly one week before our final piece is due in and we still need to re-shoot some areas of our opening.

SCHEDULED FILMING:
SUNDAY 29TH MARCH
TUESDAY 31ST MARCH

We have also compiled a mini shot list of additional footage needed and shots we feel need to be re-shot (establishing shot!!) Its isn't a huge amount of filming, more adjustments but we will need to be very precise and efficient with our filming if it is to be edited in time to meet the deadline. Editing will completed Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The director will work on the credits tomorrow morning to insure as much is done as possible before Wednesday as we Will need to focus on getting the editing of the footage as perfect as we can.

It has also been brought to our attention that the music we have used in our opening doesn't comply with the usual codes and conventions of typical thrillers. We have looked closely at the work of M.Night Shyamalan who directed thrillers such as 'The sixth sense' and 'The village'. The openings to his films feature long title sequences that are very simplistic (white font,black background) and dark with atmospheric music creating tension and pace before the opening scene. Breaking the usual conventions of filming, he holds his opening shot for very long periods of time without cutting-perhaps something we should consider in our establishing shot.

However, I still feel 'Sinnerman'effective for our piece, and could subvert the usual techniques used. The inspiration for our thirler is based on the film 'The Thomas Crown Affair'. The following scene shows the 'final heist'- a scene using the music we think fits with the narrative of our thriller and perhaps the best musical choice to get us the best grade.
