9 KEY FRAMES

The title of the film
The title of my film is shown in the last screen shot. My film was called Obsession. I decided to have the background black and then the writing in a glowing blue to make it stand out the page. In most thrillers they have plain titles to make the statement that its very bold. When you think of Obsession you associate it with fascination, mania and passion therefore I thought my font and colour of it represented it. 

Setting/ Location
The setting is shown in the second shot. I filmed all of my film in the same place. It was a quiet village called farningham. I filmed it late at night to create the suspense and tension that I needed. I choose this setting and location because there was a phonebox which was a keypoint of my sequence.

Costumes and props
I didnt use any inparticular props. I asked my main character to wear a long mac and boots. The only other prop that I also used was a handbag for the main character.

Camerawork and Editing
For the camerawork all I used was a small camcorder. I used a lot of following shots in my film. This was to create the effect that the viewer is the person pursuing the woman. I also used Long shots of her whole body to show her running through the streets trying to get away. To edit my film I used Premier pro. I had to cut some of the footage out that i had because it would have been too much and also it flows better when its more short. 

Title font and style
For my title I decided to use quite a bold but simple font and I chose to have it in a neon blue colour. I done this because I think it makes it stand out. I chose the blue because I think it makes it more mysterious, whereas if I had a red I think it would look more like a murder than a kidnapping story-line.

Shotlist

Shot 1: Establishing shot the girl running away.
Shot 2: Tilt shot. Creating enigma of the girl, gives the audience a mystery.
Shot 3: Close-up shot of her looking over her shoulder to see who's around her.
Shot 4: Long shot of her carrying on running through the town more.
Shot 5: Whip pan shot. I will have a quick shot of her left, right back and front on that are like quick flashes to give the impression that she's scared.
Shot 6: Long shot. Of her running towards a phone box thats in the background
Shot 7: Close-up of her as she walks into the phone box from within the phone-box.
Shot 8: Close-up of her hand picking up the phone and dialing the number.
Shot 9: Black screen - 'You have 48 hours to complete what I tell you to do - OR ELSE'.


In the first part of the film I will have a long shot of someone running away. I will then use enigma by filming her feet up to her head slowly, which will give suspense to the audience. Close up of her looking over her shoulder to see if people are watching her. Then a long shot of her running away through the town more. As she carries on running I will have a shot from each angel, her left side, right side, from down below looking up and circling her. Then I will have a long shot of her running towards a phone-box which you will see in the distance. I will have a close-up of her walking into the phone-box from the other side so that you can see her facial expressions. A close-up of the telephone and her hand dialing the number that she has got from a serviette. After the black screen there will be a close-up of her face as someone answers the phone so you can see her face.

Ideas for main Task

Idea 1 :
My first idea is a girl running away from someone through a busy town, hiding in various places etc. She would go to a phone box and call a number on the back of a serviette, when the person answers they say 'You have 2 minutes until your termination'. Then it would black out.. and say '48 Hours earlier...'.

Idea 2 :
My second idea would be a comedy opening. It would start with a someone walking through the school corridor and then everyone looking at them as they walk to there class. Then people would throw the person in a bin. and it would black out and say 'This is my typical day at high-school'.
