First step to our Thriller opening - Permission!
Our group came up with ideas for our Thriller opening. One idea was to create a period thriller in which we asked if Hardwick Hall if we could use their facilities. Unfortunately, the reply that came back was disappointing. So we are going back to the drawing board!
Screenplays
The difference between a Script and a screenplay is that scripts are for the theatre and screenplays are for film.
For example, scripts may have stage directions and screenplays have camera shots.
Screenplays don't usually decide music, that is left to post-production
The Screenplay comes first and the Story board comes after.
The screenplay is the first thing that is presented to a producer
Upon reading the screenplay of Jaws, it is clear to see that the information provided there is highly detailed, this is to show that the screenwriter is very keen on building a picture in the producer's mind on exactly what they want and to create a clear picture inside the producer's mind before they begin to film and produce the film/TV show
The use of the screenplay is a lot different to what is actually put into the film. Although I lot of detail and time has put into the screenplay, a lot of it is cut out of the actual film.
This is because one page of screenplay should equal one minute of film
When writing a screenplay/ script
-Include location, setting and time of day
-Introduce key characters, short description of who they are/ what they look like.
-Include key dialogue between characters and details of his actions and expressions
-include details of where the camera is in each scene.

Types of Lighting
Types of
lighting
3-point Fill Lighting
3 light creates a ‘normal looking’ scene with soft shadows
and normal colours.
3 lights are set up across the object.
Chiaroscuro lighting
Is characterised by harsh lighting that creates an extreme
contrast between different areas of the shot. Used commonly in black and white.
High Key Lighting
Uses harsh, bright light to reduce contrast in a scene to
make it look white washed and does not show any showdown.
Back lighting
Lighting from behind the scene is lit directly from behind in
order to create a silhouette. Common in
romantic films
Natural Lighting
Light coming from the sun, but also lights with a yellow tinge or white hue. Used in
combination of 3-point fill.
Artificial lighting
Lighting coming from man-made light sources. (Torch, phone
light..ect…)
