Today we began filming our thriller openings. Due to the good weather and timing we began by shooting all of the shots that include the car and Mr Pratt. The first shot was difficult as it required Mr Pratt driving on the main road and parking near by school. This meant not only did we have to make sure we achieved the correct shot with our actors but also had to look out for oncoming traffic. Within this scene we originally was going to have Mr Pratt drag Heidi into the car using a series of fast rapid cut shots to represent unexpected event to create tension for the viewer. However this was a difficult to achieve and as we had limited time and the location of the shot meant we changed to having a cut to a close up of Heidi’s feet being dragged into the car. This was a very effective shot as it portrayed the conventions of a thriller by creating dramatic tension. We then shot a close up to show Heidi’s facial expression to demonstrate her reaction as the kidnapper approaches her.
We then shot a close up of her mobile (which she dropped when she was been kidnapped) the screen showing her dad ringing. This would be are final shot.
