Basenotes Reader Awards 2013 : Finalists
These are the fragrances that have made the finalist list of the Basenotes Reader Awards 2013
Desborough location
This document discusses a potential filming location for a gang scene near a dirt lay-by in woods near a quiet road. The isolated area by a bridge over water would provide good shots of the gang's arrival and convey the message that they want to avoid being seen. However, there is a risk of others being in the area during filming, which could endanger crew/actors and disrupt the intended atmosphere.
Preliminary script
Sam denies knowing anything when questioned by Aydin, but Aydin reveals he spoke to Sam's brother who told him about the Moscow Project. Realizing he's been discovered, a scared Sam pleads for his life, offering to tell Aydin everything, but Aydin shoots Sam, believing he already had his chance to cooperate.
Audiences
The document categorizes different types of occupations into 5 categories from A to E. Category A includes higher-level professional and managerial roles like judges and doctors. Category B covers middle management and administrative roles such as bank managers. Category C is split into two subgroups, with C1 covering junior management and supervisory roles and C2 comprising skilled manual workers like carpenters. Category D refers to semi-skilled or unskilled manual workers such as cleaners. Category E captures more temporary or irregular roles such as seasonal workers, pensioners and the unemployed.
Audience survey
This survey document asks respondents questions about their demographic information including age, gender, and ethnicity. It also asks about respondents' entertainment preferences such as whether they enjoy violence and action in films and games, what genres and titles they like, how frequently they watch films, and how they access media content. The document collects this information through a series of multiple choice and open-ended questions to help analyze audience interests and behaviors.
M. Night Shyamalan research
M. Night Shyamalan is an Indian-American film director known for movies like The Sixth Sense, Signs, and The Village. He developed an early passion for filmmaking after receiving a camera at age 8. Shyamalan is famous for including plot twists and surprises in his thrillers. His films focus on mysteries that keep audiences engaged as characters try to uncover truths. Some of his directorial techniques include using water to represent death, subtle color symbolism, and filming reflections to enhance realism and mystery.
Basic opening credits
A hostage transaction is taking place where an armed bodyguard escorts a man buying a hostage from another man at the foot of a plane. A detective is also present, staking out the illegal hostage exchange.

Basic opening credits
A hostage transaction is taking place where an armed bodyguard escorts a man buying a hostage from another man at the foot of a plane. A detective is also present, staking out the illegal hostage exchange.
What is a thriller?
A retired CIA agent travels across Europe to save his kidnapped daughter who was sold into prostitution. The film consists of many plot twists that build suspense as the agent gets closer to finding his daughter but encounters setbacks. During his search, the agent uses his old skills in dangerous fight scenes to confront those involved in his daughter's kidnapping.
Preliminary planning
The document describes the roles, appearances, and props used by two actors - Aydin, the kidnapper, and Sam, the victim - in a scene depicting an interrogation. Aydin is dressed formally in a black suit and keeps his face shadowed, acting mysteriously. Sam has a ripped white shirt and appears exhausted. Props include a black umbrella, pistol, chair that Sam is tied to, and table. The setting is a garage with sheets covering clutter.
Sainsburys location
This document discusses using the top floor of a multi-story car park as a filming location. It notes that the open space gives a sense of nowhere to run, and that characters can enter by elevator, stairs, or road to add tension. However, overlooking buildings would reduce the isolated and mysterious atmosphere needed to depict an illegal transaction.
Actors
This document summarizes the auditions for actors to fill roles in an upcoming production. It provides details on 6 actors auditioning for roles including the Gambino, bodyguards, associates, a victim, and a detective. For each actor, it lists their relevant acting experience, availability, and notes on how they could potentially fit the physical and attire needs of the roles.
Brooklands location
This document describes a location for filming a gang exchange scene using an airplane. The airplane gives the exchange an air of professionalism and importance. The stairway up to the plane allows the gang boss to make an entrance and establish his control and importance through low angle shots. The stairway also provides guards a place to stand that shows they are protecting the boss. There is space under the wing for cars and the exchange to take place in an open area suitable for various camera shots, with trees and fences available for framing.
Main task initial script
The document summarizes scenes from a film about organized crime. It describes parallel editing between a car journey and gang members waiting for its arrival. When the car pulls in, a detective takes photos as a hooded man is dragged out and walked to the center of the scene. Photos are also taken of guards and the boss emerging from a plane. The boss removes the hooded man's hood and the camera zooms out to reveal a crime evidence board with photos connecting the hooded man to two rival gangs.
Emails with brooklands
We contacted Brooklands Museum to inquire about using their site as a location for our main task. The museum responded via email to discuss available dates and times for our visit to tour the location and film. Arrangements were made through an email exchange to schedule when we could visit the museum.
Questionnaire results
The questionnaire results showed that the target audience for the film is males aged 15-30 who are mostly middle class. Respondents enjoyed thrillers, action, and violence in films and video games. They regularly watched films and TV shows like dramas and thrillers. The most popular film genre was thriller. This information will help the filmmakers focus on creating a thriller genre film for this demographic.
Camera angles and movements
The document defines various camera shots and their purposes, including wide angle shots to capture scenery, low angle shots to portray size and dominance, and high angle shots to demonstrate vulnerability. It also discusses two-shots to focus on two characters, point of view shots from a character's perspective, and framing shots to draw attention to a section of the scene. Establishing shots are used to set the location of a scene.
Editing analysis
The document discusses various audio editing techniques used in filmmaking to enhance scenes, including fading clips in and out to indicate time passing, adding a resonant filter to a phone call to make it sound distorted as if being listened to, having heartbeat sounds fade in to create subtle tension, adding deep bass to emphasize an important event, using loud boom sounds to make a title bold and powerful, and including sounds of police sirens and ticking clocks to portray a character as a law officer and indicate time is a factor.
Thriller poster analysis
The document provides an analysis of a movie poster in three paragraphs:
1) It describes a mysterious tall man in the background of the poster who cannot be clearly seen, suggesting he is a secretive spy.
2) It notes the use of black and white/gray colors give a sinister feel and represent a dark film with possible death, while orange text makes the film title and actor's name stand out.
3) It analyzes elements like a pistol merging with the foreground, words written in blood, a bitter-sweet smile drawn in blood, and misty glass that make the poster and character cryptic, foreshadowing violence and a twisted character in the film.
Final storyboard and script
The document provides a final script for a phone call between criminal associates as well as explanations for the script choices. It then discusses finalizing a storyboard by including details on camera angles, shot durations, sounds, and transitions to have all production information in one place before filming. The storyboard itself is also referenced but not included.
The Sixth Sense
M. Night Shyamalan uses lighting, camerawork, editing, and sound design to build tension and fear in a scene from The Sixth Sense. The corridor is dark while Cole's bedroom provides safety and light. Close-ups capture Cole's panic and the woman's injuries. Unexpected cuts and changes in sound level startle the audience. Shyamalan skillfully employs techniques of the thriller genre to induce adrenaline and shock in viewers.
