The document discusses plans for creating a thriller trailer without dialogue. It recommends using a limited number of characters to maintain a sense of suspense. Filming in black and white across various locations is suggested to keep things interesting without being repetitive. Both steady and handheld camerawork should be used to make the footage feel impactful. Dark, dull locations like forests at night or prisons are proposed to set an ominous tone through lighting and atmosphere without veering into horror. One distinctive prop on a character is also recommended to help them stand out.

Presentation1
This document describes the process of editing a photo to add titles and credits for a thriller film. Various techniques were tried, such as changing font colors, sizes, and positioning. A red gradient was added under the titles to make them visible against the dark shadows while maintaining a creepy tone. The names were also added in contrasting colors representing the characters' roles in the narrative.
DECISIONS & REVISIONS
The document discusses the filmmaker's decisions regarding various elements of their psychological thriller film. It explains that they decided to not include a script to create ambiguity for viewers and engage their imagination. Low key lighting will be used throughout to make scenes look sinister and make audiences feel uncomfortable. Shooting will take place at the filmmaker's school since their preferred location of a villa was not possible, and will occur after hours to avoid interruptions. The song "Mad World" was chosen for the soundtrack since its lyrics match the protagonist's thoughts and the psychological thriller genre, with its creepy undertone fitting the film well.
Mise en scene-A Quick Look

Alice200
The filmmaker learned several technologies through making their film. They learned camera skills like angles, zooming, and lighting. They also learned editing skills in Premiere Pro, such as intercutting shots. However, they faced challenges with lighting and continuity between shots due to limitations of only having lamps. For future projects, they would film scenes for longer durations and try to complete all scenes in one filming session for consistent lighting.

- 2. SCRIPT & ACTORS - I personally don’t think a script would be ideal, this would be due to the fact that I don’t think words in a thriller trailer would make a good impact on the trailer. As we need to leave suspense and have it fast pace I think it would work better without having people talking to each other so people are left questioning themselves, on what to expect and leave them unquestioned until it came out. For actors we have thought about family relations within the group, students in school or friends that could help take part. To make if look effective I think it would be best with very minimum characters in it as we want to have that thriller feel.
- 3. FILMING AND EDIT- We have a variety of locations which will be followed up in the next prezi, for the filming we want it to look as effective as we can so we have decided not to use the school location as it would be to simple. We have a variety of locations and settings which are in the following prezi as I've already stated, I think as it’s a thriller it would look better in black and white with a different range of locations, as if it was just set in one filed it would all be the same and nothing new or exciting. To make an impact on the filming using both steady and handheld so it would look effective. Changing the colour contrast would be ideal so then it would have an effect for the trailer and the audience as well.
- 4. MISE-EN-SCENE & LOCATION- As it’s a thriller I think we need to use a very dark location this could be anything such as forest or just a night time setting. Prisons are also good as they are dark dull colours but if our trailer isn't going to be related to a prison it wouldn’t work within the trailer. The lighting needs to be dark and dull to give it the scare effect of a thriller but we need to make sure it doesn’t turn into a horror with the darkness and suspense. Costume could be easily very simple but maybe one prop to stand out which will help you remember the character and look out for in every scene.
