Thriller Genre – Style Sheet

Thriller Genre – What I've Recognized In This
Looking back at my contextual studies research, I had the opportunity to look in more depth this genre and some of the theory
side of things, including the 5 main elements that make up this style of genre, some of the decisions made to make it 'thrilling'
some would say, and what makes a good thriller film in comparison to some of the common features that are included to date.
Thriller films can come in mostly two forms, first off we have the horror appeal where often fearful elements come into play
throughout the film, and opposing to this there's the action comedic representation where set surprising and exciting emotions
are drawn out; I already know that I want to target the 'scarier' side of things, and so therefore the horror appeal, but its
important that I understand both category's so that I can avoid using similar traits to create synergy between the comedic style
so that I can gain a greater threatening response, otherwise it would take away from the anticipation and build-up of things
making it much more lack-luster and disappointing.
The point of a thriller film is to give a sense of excitement or in most scenarios heightening their feeling of anticipation, anxiety
and suspense through extensive plot twists and climax's, this makes the audience think a lot more and resultantly involves them
more in the film; this is often done through them taking the role of the 'damsel in distress' given its usually reflective of ordinary
people in society, and because of the relatability factor between the audience and the characters here, that's what ticks the
audiences captivation and engagement to keep them hooked and carry on watching, making emotions more drawn out and
established. Its also worth mentioning that because ordinary people are often used in distressing films like these, it makes it
extremely memorable because your constantly reminded in day-to-day life and activities which makes it even more impacting
and effective on an audience because things like these are not only established through characters, but taking place a lot of the
time in cities, towns, or villages, these also help making it relatable and therefore threatening, especially when life's considered
to be unpredictable similarly to the genre and what happens amidst this style which remains erratic.
Because a lot of the time ordinary looking people are used for the main character roles, not much is usually changed in their
appearance to make it as realistic as possible, but note that thriller films do sometimes change the look of characters, whether it
be a subtle difference to make the audience intrigued and curious and start making accusations or judgements towards things
like the narrative and their role in it, or completely different taking almost disfigured forms to clarify an opinion on something or
someone to make a point and understanding.

Thriller Genre – What I Want To Include
Before anything, its important to understand that the main genre I'm looking at throughout the whole trailer and project is the
thriller genre, and so there's going to be a lot, more than most other things, that I want to incorporate around this style to
establish the theme in my characters, choice of locations, narrative, and some of the techniques available to me to get some of
the expected traits in films like these, like with the unpredictability, and triggered emotions you would commonly see in my
audience when looking at existing products under the same genre.
Character – Because of some of the unpredictable and relatable elements that support its use in other thriller films, I definitely
think using the portrayal of 'ordinary' representations of people in both the protagonist (hero) and antagonist (villain), or at the
very least just the protagonist in this case, would make the atmosphere much more realistic and therefore both captivating and
emotionally drawing given extremely frightening and dangerous situations are being placed onto someone completely innocent
to society - i.e. most of the audience because they would also fall into this category which makes it even more terrifying from
their perspective given it could happen to someone like themselves, involving the audience to create some of these anxious
feelings that are expected in this genre of film; in addition to this, the 'ordinary' representation that would be most commonly
reflected in their dress codes and the activities they do is very financially friendly, costing near to nothing because everything
should be easily accessible and approachable, this also eliminates the possibility that I couldn't do certain things which widen
the opportunities available to me.
Because I intend of following through with the 'ordinary' representation to my characters, I also think changing an aspect to the
antagonist in some way, whether it be a particular piece of clothing or unique feature that makes them distinct from the
'ordinary', I think this could create some very unsettling and intriguing emotions to hook the audience, given we can
immediately judge them for their dress codes to show a greater understanding and follow through with the anticipation factor in
thriller themes like this where the audience know something is wrong behind the main characters (hero's) back.
Location – Location wise, its become very apparent to me that a mix between both obscure settings, including places like
deserts, polar, and sewers even, and relatable settings, including places like cities, villages, and even work places, are used a lot
of the time across existing thriller films, and mine is no exception to this. I believe showing some sort of synergy between other
films under the thriller genre really establishes the intended themes and atmospheres I want to get across, so showing the more

Thriller Genre – What I Want To Include
relatable/realistic locations, including things like suburban homes and estates, I can begin to show a greater understanding in the
audience because of the relatability factor I'd already mentioned as they remain 'ordinary' and involving of the audience to give
effect; and of course in addition to this, places like these are much more accessible and beneficial to my productions where I can
keep them fairly close to home, meaning I can get abouts to the locations if re-takes are needed, and they're basically free to
enter and film without the hassle of signing off paper work or permission slips to gain entry which works on time management
strategies as such.
Color Schemes – I particularly like when thriller films use a consistent duller color scheme throughout their product, whether it
be pale colors or black and grey predominant, this gives off a really eerie atmosphere because it almost acts as a way of not
giving much away to the audience watching, this is until something much more vibrant, whether it be a person or object,
stands out, distinctive against everything else to make a point, judgement, or even clarify an understanding towards something
in particular; this is without a doubt something I would like to incorporate within my own film trailer, not only for the reasons
already mentioned, but I think I could use this to resemble certain individual scenes in the buildup off something working
together, acting as a way of foreshadowing because the use of vibrant colors would make it increasingly memorable against
everything else to show a greater understanding at what its getting across.
Its present that a lot of the time warmer color schemes resolving around the uses of yellows and subtle hints of red are used for
romantic, loving, and caring purposes, and this is something I would particularly like to establish at the beginning of my trailer
during scenes where my main character (protagonist/hero) is present to reflect their innocence and create trusting relationships
with the audience watching; but its also worth mentioning that I want this to slowly dissipate as we progress through the trailer
and enter the 'thriller' genre more substantially with the introduction of my antagonist, acting as a way of contradicting the
threatening emotions you would expect in a thriller film to start off with, but more importantly bring out the unpredictability
that remains loyal to the theme's being given off – turning from what is warmer/saturated tones to darker/less saturated
reflections on the situations.

Story Development – Intentions
Listed below are a range of intentions that I would like to include regarding my film trailer narrative, this most likely wont be
the final storyline for my trailer and film concept, but it will be sure to help me decide what my final intentions will be for
the narrative.
. Id really like to have from the beginning a repetitive style to the trailer, going day by day the same things happening
whether it be waking up the same time, walking the same route, seeing the same people, or even doing the exact same
things like sitting on a particular bench at a certain time, I think this will make a weird atmosphere to the video and the
person we see doing these same things.
. Corresponding to the repetitive style, id also really like to have this broken up at points when we start to see this
particular figure (antagonist/villain) appear much more frequently whether it be a change in the way she begins to act or
what she changes in her routine to try and avoid this thing that's happening.
. Considering color schemes, I think starting off the trailer I should follow through with more yellow and saturated
reflections of the scenes we see, this should both put the audience in a comfortable atmosphere where they're much more
welcomed and introduced to the trailer in comparison to when we start seeing unusual occurrences and the color schemes
transition into more darker tones with hints of blue/coldness and white for its clinical and quite unfriendly connotations,
this all in hopes of establishing an understanding in the transition of focus from the place to something much more sincere
(i.e. the thriller aspect of the video) - this should all be achievable in post-production where I can use color grading options
to enhance the image.
. I would really like to include a varied amount of visual effects, whether it be things like flashes, glitches or even
masking things in/out of the frame, but not enough to make it too distracting on the audience and the main focus point
because the storyline is key to a stronger reflection and engagement in my viewers as it establishes a lot of mixed emotions
and approaches to what they're watching.

Story Development – Intentions(continued)
. In places where the narrative in the trailer gets dramatic or even faster-paced, such as with running scenes, I think the
inclusion of camera shaking, whether it be during filming or in post, could really bring out to realism and almost act as a way
of concealing information to the audience as its typically harder to grasp things when the screen's constantly moving
around, this generates strong inferences with the intentions set by myself (the director/organizer/creator) throughout the
audience.
. Another key thing to consider is the use of sound effects and music, I've come to realize that music and sounds plays a
massive part in an audience to drive emotions= and the impact it creates on an audience, so id really like to include a lot of
'low hits', 'tension rises', 'booms', 'scratching', 'creaking', and even 'horns' to follow-through with the thriller genre in hopes
that it makes it even more threatening and dominant because they should remain mostly loud and therefore impactful.

Story Development – Idea Generation
Listed below are a range of ideas that came to me throughout the project up until now in relation to the general storyline
and the opportunities available to me in the narrative; acknowledge the fact that these were mostly during random
brainstorms I had, so some of the grammar and written elements may remain a bit jumbled and illiterate at times, but I
thought it may beneficial to show my thought process at the time of generating ideas, thus leaving it as it is.
Idea 1: In correlation to the song 'Sweet Dreams Are Made Of These'
During 'moving on' section of lyrics, have main character with different shots of them moving onto their next kill, with
numerous shots of them moving with close ups of movement.
The trailer as a whole is a build of revenge, with flashbacks to why they're taking revenge, for the majority, but on the end
beat we see them performing horrific dangerous activities with these individuals, interrogating, killing and harming them.
Bohemian rhapsody intro shows cinematic scenes of various murders, foreshadowing what may be to come.
The trailer builds up to the murders/revenge on these people, regularly switching from flashbacks to why they're taking
revenge and him preparing for these crimes - buying things of use, setting scenes up, etc.
The lyrical parts in sweet dreams are made of this presents the scenes of him preparing for revenge, whilst the flashback
scenes are during the solely audio parts of the song (sweet dreams are made of this)
Idea 2: In correlation to the song 'Sweet Dreams Are Made Of These'
(0:38) - A build up showing the past individual (who died) close before their death, building it up for understanding
(0:50) - Present person getting supplies from around house, shed, shops, etc
(1:05) - The past person nostalgic memories against them getting closer to their death again
(1:17) - The 'moving on section' would be a constant switch between past as to why they're taking revenge (the person
dying), and present of the person walking with the tools they prepared.
(1:32) - The person getting his suspects together into these set scenes for killing etc
(1:47) - Switching between past and present after each significant beat during the lyrics
(2:03) - The person in past finding out about beloved ones death and getting angry/grieving

Story Development – Idea Generation
(2:14) - The person preparing to interrogate/murder the individuals that are established in the set locations
(2:29) - The person getting much closer to interrogate/murder the individuals, getting out weapons/ tools etc
(2:44) - Harming, killing, and interrogating the people, switching between him grieving in the past and killing in present over and
over
(3:00) - Switching between two scenes during present, hell both approaching his beloved's grave marking out each one's death,
and ditching the separate bodies/cleaning the evidence
Finishing with a scene separate to everything, hell be there putting his mask on again after setting another crime scene
up suggesting more to come, abruptly ending soon after
Idea 3:
Ordinary women doing the same things in her day-to-day life, until one day something weird happens, then weirder things happen as
we progress through the days.
Not fully understanding what's happening other than its threatening and dangerous in the actions and non-verbal codes, music, and
atmosphere being created.
Something significant then happens as we focus on one of the days where she receives a text message from 'anonymous' with a
picture of her exact position.
Rushing out of the building to go home, we see her speed walking her way through her usual route looking around anxiously, having
many shots linger around corners etc.
Now running through a forest area, having received another message, we see this shot, constantly switching between this, her
walking through her ordinary day with little things appearing more clearly in the background, and her stumbling around all bloody in
the night in a forest, she trips over, falls, and gets knocked out unconscious going black screen.
Then after a little of black screen, we have her POV waking up at night in forest, switching between this and her running around
bloody screaming in horror etc, until we focus on seeing her get up, stumbling around (in almost silence) and then after hearing a
twig snap behind here, a panning shot reveals the figure behind her.
The going much quicker paced, we hear screaming, her running for her life, whilst constantly switching between her running
frantically and going back to her ordinary life where the figure is present in the background of each of those weird days.
Then finally going black screen we hear her screaming and then suddenly stop after a thud going into final title screen.

Story Development - Narrative
Narrative In Brief: Following a woman's life in an ordinary town, we see her normal day and routine she tends to
follow as a single living household member as apart of this community. This is all until weird trends and occurrences
in her life make her incredibly cautious, aware, and anxious for her life when realizing someone or something is
involving themselves to her life. Watching, tracking, and making her very frightened in her day-to-day life when
things begin to unfold, each day begins to get even more strange as we're introduced to the cause of these actions.
Learning more about the main character and her past, in the same time that we learn more about 'the
figure/shadow', we begin to determine whether everything is actually real or psychological. Is she the villain in it all,
is a paranormal specter controlling her decisions, or is a revenge plan amidst her past becoming more exposed.

Story Development – Narrative Acts
Structured in a 4 act arc, this makes up mostly the beginning, middle, and end into segments so that its easily understood by
both my peers and the audience in this aspect of the trailer. With the first act being optional, this leaves the other 3 as the main
parts given they drive the narrative with supporting information and visual images to represent what's going on.
Act 1: As an optional act to the structure of my film trailer, were introduced here to her ordinary livelihood in and abouts the
town and her home, from waking up to getting ready and leaving, and arriving in town through the streets and so fourth. Not
much is shown regarding the main storyline, but this remains a good opportunity that establishes the scene, what's going on,
and what's classified as ordinary when compared to everything that’s soon coming.
Act 2: Beginning the actual narrative, were introduced to the main character as she is repeatedly seen and speaks a voice-over.
Showing the repetitive style of her life again here, this more focuses on the good life she has as it slowly transitions into the
'thriller' aspect for comparison between the two.
Act 3: Going through what is now each day that passes, this shows the slow progression and build up to something that’s
determined to be threatening in association with the genre and what's happening, strange things that get progressively worse by
each day from notes to sightings and so fourth that also displays a range of situations/experiences that are throughout the film
for added tension and curiosity. Its important to also understand here that the audience is also involved more given we start to
de-picture the storyline when learning about the main characters hidden past, which both establishes the phycological elements
throughout as we get a clearer image of what's happening.
Act 4: Finishing off the trailer, we stay, having come off of day 10 in act 3, with a range of situations that occur in that day alone
to get a clearer understanding of what's happening and what to expect; the storyline remains uncertain and vague, but enough i
shown to make suspicions, such as with the forest and bunker scenes which are mostly used for the thrilling aspect in this type of
genre as the climax to it all.

Story Development – Storyboarding
(Section 1)

Intentions
A range of ideas for my film title, here are a list of some of the desirable needs I would like to include in it for added effect,
superstition, and engagement to the film itself.
. The one main thing I would really like to include resolves around the 10 days that it takes until everything to do with the
figure/shadow becomes more clear, this includes finding out about her past, what the figure/shadow is doing up to this
date, and understanding her routine and the weird things going on in this world; therefore, in the title of my film, I would
really like to include the number '10', whether it be as an additional separate word or combined amidst one word, I think
this would make it highly intriguing and threatening to the audience behind the significance of the number '10', this is until
you watch the trailer a find out more information, persuading the audience to take action more or less.
. I would preferable have my title a single word for many reasons, its easier for distribution and advertising, because its not
particularly lengthy and irritating to mention to others, and remaining a single word also makes it more easily
understanding. In addition to this, I would still like to follow through with including the number '10' to resemble the days it
takes to understand the threat of the film, so its also worth mentioning that I think its necessary that whatever the title be,
it includes both the letters 'I' and 'o' next to each other ('io') as this acts very similar to the number '10'; this would not only
add the intriguing factor behind each of these statements, but I think it would also looks very aesthetically pleasing and
captivating to the eye of the audience.
. Regarding the font of the title, I'm not particularly sure whether to go with something that’s more modernized, as this
would adhere to the era the film takes place, or to go with something more eerie and rigid, as this would definitely set the
mood and intentions of the film being a 'thriller'; either way, I think its important to single out the number '10' that’s within
whatever word I find suiting, this should be done through possible a change in font or color in comparison to the main title,
or even a mix of both to make it more stood out.

Possible Words/Fonts
Found out using 'the free dictionary' website, I was able to distinguish words with the letters 'io' next to each other, from as low
as 3 to as high as 15, I picked out the ones which sounded most meaningful to my film and what happens in it:
Riotous – Public disorder, uncontrollable behavior, varied appearance.
Noxious – Harmful, poisons, or very unpleasant.
Reunion – Coming together after a period of separation.
Erosion - Gradual destruction of something.
Delusion - A belief that is clearly false and indicates an abnormality.
Omission - A person or thing that's been left out or excluded, the action of doing, failure to fulfil moral or legal.
REUN10N
NOX10US
R10TOUS
EROS10N
DELUS10N
OMISS10N
Found through using the 'Da Font' website, I was able to distinguish a range of different fonts in different alphabetical categories
from 'facy' to 'holiday' expect to see every possible outocme in a font to suit what happens in my film:
- 'Da Font' / 'Fancy' / 'Eroded' / 'Times New Yorker'
- 'Da Font' / 'Fancy' / 'Eroded' / 'White On Black'
- 'Da Font' / 'Fancy' / 'Distorted' / 'An Unfortunate Event'
- 'Da Font' / 'Fancy' / 'Retro'/ 'Demode'
- 'Da Font' / 'Fancy' / 'Destroy' / 'Downcome'
- 'Da Font' / 'Fancy' / 'Destroy' / 'Aristotle Punk'

Word Choice
Based on the meaning behind the word, way in which we say it, and interpretations we can get from using it,
'Omission' will be my main title for the psychological thriller film trailer and posters I'm creating as part of my main
final FMP (Final Major Project).
. When saying the word 'Omission', the harsh abbreviation of the letter 'm' and coherent letters 'ss' makes it verbally
threatening, and when by itself remains peculiar yet suiting to the thriller genre for ease of identification.
. If not most importantly, the meaning that this words relates with, to 'exclude or leave someone out' or 'a person or
thing that has been left out' makes it even more suiting to the film I'm creating, not only for its generally negative
reflection on something in most cases, but it directly addresses and is associated to the narrative I'm following,
someone being left out in a community for a particular reason that’s had knock on effects/impacts on themselves; this
gives the audience something to consider and think about, especially when considering that I'm creating trailers and
poster which will be the first main points of distribution in films these days, following through with the structure of
AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action).
. Its also worth mentioning slightly this word is also being used, in addition to everything already mentioned, because
it includes the letters 'io' next to each others, from this I can make it a '10' to directly address what happens in the film
and trailer for added interest and captivation when getting my audience to think more about it.

Word & Font Choice
Having decided what the title would state, its now important to consider the font choice as this can really shape the
effect its going to have on an audience and the way the films perceived, whilst helping clarifying an understanding to
the genre and style to expect; therefore the font 'they perished' from the popular website 'DaFont' will be my main
first choice for the film.
. When looking at the main fonts I had determined for possible use in the previous slides, I had come to decide that
some of the more modern styles, however unique they me be in comparison to other thriller films, wouldn’t have
worked well in this instance. This left me in a bit of an predicament because both the 'Times New Yorker', 'White On
Black, 'An Unfortunate Event', and 'They Perished' fonts remained closely related with good reasons of use in each of
their own areas of expertise.
. Looking at each of their qualities and general aesthetic appeal when reflecting the thriller genre I'm targeting, I had
come to conclude that the 'they perished', 'white on black', and 'an unfortunate event' fonts was most clear against
some of the other options, not only because they are a serif font which could be considered bad for the thriller genre,
because typically lines and edges to text can appear more intimidating, I would rather dedicate understandability and
clarity more important when getting an idea, or in this case a film, out there to an audience from which they can look
into more by taking action.
. Cutting it down to 3 remaining ones, I had next taken into account how it could relate it to my storyline, once again
trying to include some sort of hidden contextual meaning, I had concluded that the 'they perished' font was more
suiting in this area with the crumbling dissolve along the bottom half, implying the slow progression of terror and fear
we see in my main character , almost hinting at their eventual death given the fact it would eventually completely
disappear.

Movie Tagline Idea Generation
Below is a list of tagline ideas I had when brainstorming a slogan for my film, everything is left in order and format of
thought process I had at the time until I came to a few good options for my final decisions. Listed below:
To be afraid of yourself or your past, never both
When your past, future and present holds you back, make sure it counts
Who can you trust when yourself is in the picture
Who can you trust when you cant trust yourself
Your future is unwritten but your past is left behind
When you past is left in the shadows it has to reappear at some point
When your past is left in the shadows, everything comes back around
Everything comes back around when your past is left in the shadows
When your past is left in the shadows watch your back, it follows you
Run all you like, your past will stay in your shadow
When your past is in the shadows run all you like, itll never leave your back
Don’t always trust your shadows when your past is left behind
Looks can be deceiving when it comes to shadows in this case
Always remember to make a good impression of youself, otherwise...
Remember a good reflection of yourself is always important...

Character 1 – What I Want To Include
The main and only intentions with my character surrounds the ideas I had heard through
both my contextual research analysis and research analysis, the inclusion of making my
main character an ordinary person, or you could say an ordinary looking person that holds
the ideals of someone you would see in and around day-to-day life; although you would
suggest this is the simple option, which it definitely is and makes the process significantely
easier for myself, who doesn’t have a great amount of expenses to be paying for this
project, if I use somebody that is relatable to most individuals in current society, then this
is immediately more personally emotional and involving of the audience as you would
begin to relate this to yourself, whether its a friend or family member, this puts you in the
position of the mian cahracters role, making it even more engaging, anxious for yourself,
and suspenseful.
Its worth mentioning in addition to this that my main character will be a woman, for
reasons including that this is the only person in my family bubble, because of covid-19
restrictions, that is available to me almost always, making the filming and process of
health and safety contact forms much easier as I know them and the details that follow
much easier.

Character 1 – Conventions
Not only is my main character a woman because she was accessible to me throughout the
time I was planning to do filming, especially considering covid-19 impacted a lot of aspects
including the availability of actors, but the fact that women hold the stereotypical values
around being mentally emotional, temperamental, and more importantly a motherly role
in this case, as it can be used to directly link to my narrative about a psychotic woman who
struggles to define what reality really is.
Its important to me that I get the conventions
right in my character, because I've made sure my
audience are looking for contextual meanings
throughout both moving image and print
products, so making sure my character is a
woman, not only because of the reasons
mentioned, but also because the long blonde hair
in my chosen actor is particularly eye-catching in
comparison to a guy with short dark hair, this
makes it evermore engaging and impacting to the
genre given the long hair can be dramatic in
certain situations when moving around a lot.

Prop Missing Poster – Style Sheet
Looking up 'missing poster designs' there went any particular styles that were different from one another as they generally
kept to the same structure, either simple with a large picture of the person and name, or more detailed with additional
information regarding the overall appeal. This came down to these three main designs shown below:
What's mostly made up of 'Blacks', 'Whites', and 'Reds', these colors
are present mostly for their ease of production and costs when
understanding that black and white copies are a lot less cheap to
manufacture and distribute (more realism), whilst often the colors red
are used for the purpose of clarifying danger or a threat of being in
danger, and are much more vibrant, therefore attention seeking as to
why I have also included yellow which similarly follow-through with
the almost 'hazardous' connotations to assert captivation/persuasion.

What I Want To Include In My Poster
Regarding my film poster, theres a few different intentiosn I have coming into this print product to make it
not only stand out and be unique in comparison to existing products out tehre in the indsutry, but certain
features that I think would work with the style of my film and the narrative that’s present.
. Before anything, i would love to appraoch my poster with a minimul style, whether it be through the
title or if I added anything feature wise, not only would this be reflective on the storyline im following,
given its mostly to do with some sort of figure, paranormal spectre, or person concealing themselves from
the reality of the world, but I think aesthettically this would be more modern in the sense that I've kpet
the design fairly clean, in hopes that I can target society with this unique choice having not seen it in a
poster before.
. Holding simular ideals as to the minimul design I want to base my poster off of, I would love to include a
lot of hidden contextual meanings behind some of the features seen, for instance the possible inclusion of
the words 'run', 'hide', and 'survive' throughout the poster, most people would insatntely persume this is
directly linking to my film tagline, which it does with 'will you run, hide and survive or die', however it
could also be used as a way of foreshadowing future events or scenarios seen in the film/trailer.
. Despite wanting to keep it unique, I do think it's worth keeping some typical elements you see in film
posters across the indsutry, whether it be movie poster credits or a release date, I think this would spark
some relatability in my auidence making it more aproachable and effective in places, perticularly with the
inclusion of a release date as this acts as a way of making the audience take action as to when they can
watch the film, especially when an interest is built up towards something through such things like a poster.

Tools/Methods To Reflect My Ideas
With the intentions of creating my poster using the Adobe Photoshop editing software thats avaliable
to me at college, I would like to think that a lot of the tools needed to create my poster, if not all of
them, can be found through such app, so in regards to creating my poster as a whole, it will be done
through here because of the quality and high outcome you get from the program.
Combining my own background knowledge and experience in using Photoshop, a lot of the time either
the text tool, which comes with an array of fonts to choose from, or the website 'Dafont', which I had
used to create my main title, would be used if text was needed in some way; between the two, I would
like to use 'dafont' because its perticularly helpful when needing some eye-catching text, but when it
comes to needing simple fonts ,the standard fonts found on photoshop is sometimes more than
enough for what your working with.
Regarding the minimul design I want to approach my poster with, the belnding options when right
clicking a rasterized image in your layers section of the page allows you to merge images and or text
into the background with other images; this process can be quite tedious, but with the numerous
options avlaiable to use in the blending tab, this makes it much more straight forward and more a case
of going through each of the options and finding which one best suits your intentions. Blending images
or text is a great way at following through with a minimul design, because it almost makes the images
or text, dependant on how you have done it, merge with one another to become a whole image and
reflect such clean style, but it can get time consuming and looks unappealing to an auidence unless
done right, something I am willing to try for the sake of a good outcome.

Potential Fonts
Despite the fact that im going through with a minimul design and therefore not much text will
be present on my poster, I still come with the intentions of showing links between the products
im producing, as these are promoting the same film, tehrefore the 'they perished' font used for
my title could be considered as another option for the realse date or 'coming soon' title ill use,
however, I hadnt seen how each of the fonts I looked at in my font choice section earlier was
with numbers, so im going to take into consideration of using the 'an unfortunate event' font fro
'Dafont' if the they perished style doesn’t work out. Its worth mentioning here that im
disregarding using the standards fonts found on photosop because I want my release date or
'coming soon' title to stand out, and I feel like if I had come to use a simple serif or san-serif
basic font it wouldn’t grab your attention as much in comparison to something more unique or
flashy that found regualrly in 'dafont'.
Comparing the two fonts above, 'they perished' and 'an unfortunate event', I'd come to
conclude that I think the 'unfortuante event' font looks increadibly more unique and eye-
catching in comparison for the release date or 'coming soon' title, and with the inclusion of
both, this also shows a variety in my work that may be appreciate by some viewers.

Possible Color Schemes
Refering back to my colors schemes research earlier on in the project, I intend of reflecting some
convetions with my choice of colors here not only for my poster, although im talking about my
poster in this section, but also across all of my other outcomes ill come to produce with the
intentions of showing links across my work in this area, and so with carefuly consideration as to
what colors ill focus on using across the board, the colors yellow, white and red, with secondary
predmoinant of black I will use; chosen because of the connotations each referance,
rememberance and caution (yellow), danger, rememberance once again and blood (red),
innocence, barriers, unfriendliness, and chillness (white), and finally blacks, or all general darker
tones, to mostly adress the genre and tones im targetting, these connotations mostly resolve
around the narrative of my film, which is to do with a threat from the past, however a lot of
these also reflect the way my character changes from the 'innocent' ordinary woman, to
someone who's not only 'dangerous' and should be taken 'caution' of, but constantly excluding
herself from everything including society ('barriers').
Its also worth mentioning in addition to this, the colors work extremely well with one another,
some more than others (I.e. yellow/white on black), because ive got to take into account the
aestehtic appeal it draws, in addition to the fact that it also adresses color blind people because
the colors are not mixed together in a sense, only ever put against black for instance.

Day 1 – Weather and Sunlight
Recorded on the 12th of March, 2 days ahead of filming, we
see the weather to remain mostly dry, with an average of
5.75% chance of rain, the conditions also remain to have
'sunny intervals', perfect during the morning rise where it can
cast long shadows and good external lighting from the east.
Recorded 13th of March, 1 day prior to filming, we see the
weather for the most part has improved close to date, with
sunny weather recorded to be present at the time of filming.
07:00am 08:00am 09:00am
Using the website 'SunCalc', we can determine the direction
of the sunlight in correlation to both the location you have
selected and the timings of dawn, sunrise, solar noon, sunset,
and dusk.
Shown above we see the sunlight direction and overall change
between 07:00am to 09:00am given these are the main key
times I will conduct my filming; and in addition to this, we see
the sunlight graph against Scene 7, the public street tunnel
walkway, because this shot is mostly orientated around the
use of the shadows and reflections being cast against the
ground and walls here – its also worth considering that this
scene is also closely situated to the bench scene which also
uses shadows being cast.
Observing the diagrams it looks best to
film Scene 7 at roughly 07:15am for
both reasons including the height/angle
of the sun, because this should exhibit
good strong lighting over the buildings,
and the angle of the sunlight, going
into the tunnel leaving some shadows.

Determining a 'lightly cloudy and a gentle breeze' weather
forecast for Sunday 21st March, the weather conditions here
aren't particularly an issue when filming inside a building.
Although lighting may be necessary for certain shots however,
the weather is subject to change when expecting Monday to be
sunny, and lighting could be endorsed because of access.
Taken on the day of filming, we see the weather has completely
stayed the same even though it was expectant to slightly improve
because of previous or the next day (light cloud gentle breeze).
11:00am 12:00pm 23:00pm
Using the website 'SunCalc', we can determine the direction of
the sunlight in correlation to both the location you have selected
and the timings of dawn, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and dusk.
Seeing the sunlight direction and overall change between
11:00am to 13:00pm isn't particularly an issue here, its more the
fact that ill be recording within these times frames, but some,
only a few of the shots could benefit from natural lighting given
off by the sun; because this is noon time and the sunlight will be
coming from up above, shadows may not be present, but I will
achieve good lighting from most angles, otherwise I can/will
import my own lighting rig having the accessibility to do so with
electric ports at the ready. It's also worth mentioning that this
isn't applicable to the night shots as strong reflections are
needed off
windows, so a pitch-black atmosphere
is required.
The first two graphs show how quickly
the sun at noon moves, because its
directly above, whereas at 23:00pm we
cant see the sunlight direction because

What's forecast to be 'moderately breezy with sunny intervals',
the next day I plan to film, Sunday the 28th of March, looks to
remain mostly dry with only a low percentage (12%) of it
raining. In hopes of the conditions being brighter, this can be
effective for casting shadows and an immersive atmosphere
from which can easily be changed in post because of this.
With the forecast changing significantly here, from what was expected
to be sunny now remaining extremely windy and rainy, this brings
complications to the film date with the possibility of changing it.
14:00 pm 15:00 pm 16:00 pm
and dusk.
Seeing the sunlight direction and overall change
through 14:00pm to 16:00pm, the direction of sunlight is
important here and determines a lot of the directions ill be
recording my shots in this environment to get some of the
casted shadows and sunlight between the branches. Its also
worth mentioning that because filming will take place at these
times shown, we should be able to get a good amount of
lighitng having the sun be lower as the day progresses.
In the graphs above, we can see the direction of sunlight
mostly comes from the South and South West, because of this
a lot of the shots, or at least the direction
I aim the camera, should come from the
opposite side being North to North East,
or even North West/South West to get the
full potential of the shadows casted from
the trees and branches.

Day 3 – Weather and Sunlight (updated)
With a significant change in the weather for the date I had decided to
film, which is still to remain extremely windy and rainy, I had come to the
conclusion to change the date of filming from Sunday the 28th to Tuesday
the 30th.
However good the planning was ahead of filming for this date, having told
my main actor the get ready planning everything in consideration of this
date, and the lighting which may actually come beneficial to the filming
being misty, mysterious and sinister in a sense, this wasn’t what I had
intended on getting in the first place for some of the shots which rely
heavily on shadows as such.
What's now expected to be very sunny, clear weather throughout the
day, this should give off very good strong lighting when filming, especially
in some of the darker more discrete locations (I.e. when filming in the
bunker); besides this, sometimes the lighting can be too strong, but with
the acknowledgement of filming in a forest that’s well covered, this
shouldn't be as much an issue, diffusing the light more efficiently.

Production Schedule
Ahead of moving into production for the next 8 weeks, including the 2 week easter holidays, here is the general plan for each
week that passes by in hopes that by the end, Friday the 30th of April (I think), I will have a fully completed plefera of print and
moving image products in relation to the film concept I have made, the main ones being 1 or two film posters and a film trailer,
all in support of a consistent production reflection when planning things like filming/photography days etc and how the day
had gone.
Week 1 - In the initial steps to starting my production I intend on using the majority of the week planning for my first day of
filming and getting photography, this being over the weekend as my actor isnt accesible for use otherwise; this means planning
and creating things like a call sheet tracking the weather, sun direction, and timing everything should be fully up-to-date and
managed for before the weekend starting. Taking what should only be 1 day working, 2 at the very most, this means I can spend
a lot of time adding or improving to my planning PowerPoint in addition to looking back at some of my other pieces of work for
the fmp, taking into consideration the feedback I should have been given from my tutor, and tweaking things corelating to that
to achieve the best grade possible. Moving ahead into the weekend, I should use this time having my Actor to hand to get all the
shots mentioned and planned previously, following my call sheets and sticking to the plan I had made, starting the filming
process of getting footage for my trailer and posters should be much easaier and time efficient. Its important here that I get
photography which goes towards my posters during the filming, because going into college the 2nd week of production means I
have accesability to profesional programs like photoshop which otherwise isnt acheivable at home and should be taken
advantage of, despite the fact that it also gives myself an insight to what im doing and something to start woking on.
Week 2 - Again, because I havent gotten acess to my main actor for the filming and photography untill the weekend, I should
plan ahead of schedule for filming on either of the Saturady or Sunday, 20th or 21st. Doing so with multiple call sheets should
leave myself with some more additional spare time to work on things like my poster in perticular, especially beacuse i have acess
to good software facilities being back at college like with photoshop to makle a good start on some print products. Starting on
the posters may be too in advance, given I havent yet decided on a name or font, so looking at and deciding these elements
could also come beneficial to begin. In addition to all this, because I truly believe it shoudlnt take a considerable amount of time
to acomplish such tasks, I could once again look back at previous work to improve or add extra information here in hopes that I
can get a better grade. All up untill the weekend, here its essential that I once again perform some filming on 1 or more of the
scenes needed to begin constructing the trailer the next week, using the planning I had made ahead of this date.

Production Schedule
Week 3 - In a very repetative process, I should again begin the week forming a call sheet for filming over the weekend as I havent
the opportunity to film with my main actor throughout the weekdays; forming call sheets with considerations to the weather,
sunlight direction, and timing everything in corelation to what shots are needed at that location, this should speed up the
process on the date of filming and give off a good impresion of both my thought process and organisational/management skills.
Opening up the time to begin the development my film trailer, as I intend on using a personal editing software from home, I
should have both enough footage to get an insight to what my final outcome will turn out looking like, and the time inbetween
to get previous work or things like sound effects/audio accumilated ahead of the editing process once this weekend's filming has
finished. Getting the filming all done once the weekend date planned previosuly arrives, this should be all the remainding
footage needed the start and finish off my trailer the next week, using things like my sound effects/audio gathered also
throughout this week in support of its construction.
Week 4 & 5 - Whats over the easter holidays, I intend on making a strong beginning to my film trailer, whether it be making sure
ive got every single bit of footage needed at the best it can be, or starting to edit it all up together, possibly even getting close to
finishing it all, id love to get to a tsage by the end of the half term where I have atleast the beginning to middle of my film trailer
fully edited. Focusing a lot of the time on my trailer getting better re-takes of certain shots or making sure ive got all the footage
needed for my trailer and print products, I would also really like to spend a lot of time working on the written pieces of work for
the FMP starting from my 'free software video' up untill now; finishing off, adding to, and improving each of the PowerPoints I
have made, I want to make sure here they're to the best they can be with what I wanted to include and talk about in each of
them, taking advice and feedback from my tutor that I should have received, in addition to asking friends and family members
where possible, everything written for every piece of docuemntation towards my FMP will be done so that by the time we return
to college every week after easter, I can make a strong progression and focus on my FMP outcome's in both print and moving
image.
Week 6 – Returning back to college every week I will show a strong focus to editing up my film trailer during the days im not in
college, Monday, Wednessday, Saturday, and Sunday, whilst days im in college, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, will be dedicated
to creating atleast one of the film posters out of the two. Because every piece of footage and photography should have been
accumilated over the past 5 weeks (technically) of production, and the planning regarding each products is to a substantial level

Production Schedule
accessibility and a better functioning PC to speed up the process, whilst developing my poster will remain in college because of
the ability to use photoshop.
Week 7 – Still editing up my film trailer, as this is the main product to my FMP and should be done perfectly, I will carry on with
making sure I can get it to a stage where its completed by the end of the week given ive spent rouhgly 2 – 3 weeks making it
already; this leaves enough time to make amends if any are found in the last week of production, from peer feedback and
obsservations, if not completed any earlier than planned here. Because my film trailer is highly dependant to working at home
during my spare time having the software accesible there, this leaves myself to create my 2nd poster/print product of the
proejct during the days im in college having Photoshop to hand, whether it be another poster or piece of
merchandise/billboard/bus promotion or anyother form of promotional print material, this should be completed by the end of
the week once again to leave space for possible improvements the following week if need be.
Week 8 – As the final week of production stands, its important here that I finish off anything that isn't already completed for the
production phase, including things like my posters or film trailer being the main source of production for the FMP. Because most
of these should already be finished up to this point in the project, this week should mostly introduce getting peer feedback on
such products to improve and tweak them before final submission at the end of the week. Aside from this which should have
also been done during making the products, I could also use this time to make extra promotional material for the film concept
Ive targeted everything already towards; whether it be merchandise or adjusting the already made posters to fit onto real life
situations, this could significantly benefit the project showing more of an in-depth thought behind how it could further be
introduced into the real world.
Finishing off my production schedule, if everything here mentioned is followed and achieved by the end of each week, I should
come out of this production phase with an accumulation of products that can both be reflective of real life situations to give an
insight to my intentions with the promotional materials made, whilst offering the extent of my ability and skill when creating
such products based off the media industry and how things are perceived from an audiences point of view.

Personnel's
Its important to understand going into this that with current worldwide issues, and the implications that have been
set by the government, this has significantly impacted the amount of individuals who can partake in my project. I
had previously intended of using a sparse range of people, particularly actors, to aid the filming processes of my
FMP as this is the most people dependent part of the whole project, but avoiding large groups of people and
therefore the spread of covid-19, I limited myself to using only the people I can access without the need of social
distancing, and therefore people in my 'social bubble' (family).
Regarding the majority of the initial phases and end phases to the project, including research, health and safety,
production experiments, evaluation, and this documentation (planning), I had and will create this only by myself for
the reasons that I first off don’t need anyone else for the written work, other than when conducting research
interviews and peer feedback on some of the work, and given the fact I have to write up all this information solely
by myself for reasons resolving around the course and how its graded.
Moving ahead into the production phase where I would begin and finish developing my film trailer and posters,
with the possibility of more products if there's any extra time at bay, I will require not only myself, but my mother
who will act the role of my main actor to my film I'm creating everything based off of. Aside from the filming and
photo shoots ill do during the filming process, everything else from editing up my trailer and adjusting the
photography captured to make digitally aesthetic posters, I can do by myself having the ability already to do such
tasks using the software available to me at both home and in college.
In conclusion, I require others in the circumstances that I need to gather another ones opinion on something or for
production purposes, whilst the majority of things (I.e. all the written work) is solely my own doing as it should be
to pass the course.
