Costumes and Props.

Our Thriller only really uses two props, the fist of which is a baseball bat. The baseball bat is used as a weapon to beat up the young girl hiding in the burnt out building. Baseball bats are common in films with violence and gangs etc. Whe chose this weapon because it looks distinctive in a shadow, which is the way we are going to film the attack, through the shadows on the wall. This will tell the viewer whats going on without having to directly show a young girl being beaten up, an idea we thought would be too difficult to shoot.

This prop features in the cover of "Inglorious Bastards" covered in blood with an army helmet hanging off it, this is because the film is about Nazi germany and world war two. This gives us the impression that the bat is used in the film the way we are using it in our film, as apposed to its actual use which is baseball. This baseball bat looks alot more gruesome than the one in the photo above, and fits in with our thriller theme really well. We will not be showing any particulally gruesome shots because they are harder to make realistic on a small budget and without trained actors.

The only other prop we are using is a ciagrette. The cigarette will be dropped next to our main character to alert her to other people being in the room. cigarettes are common in thriller films with seedy characters because these are the people more stereotyped to smoke. The cigarette will drop to the floor and will be stubbed out by a big black boot of one of the men. Cigarettes are a symbol of hardieness, grimey characters and death. They can also be used to express femeninity in the right context. Straight cigarettes are more common in films and we will be using a cigarette similar to the one in the photo below on the left.

For our costumes we have selected predictable clothing. Both of the men will be dressed in big black coats and big black boots, this fits in with our genre and the eerie feel to the setting. Our two men will be intimidating and dark, and through the film we do not see their faces, we only hear them and see their torso and feet. More attention to detail was paid to the female character, who had been out when witnessing an attack. She will be in a small coat, a dress and heels. This represents her vunrebility and her femeninity. This is important because we want to give an impression of innocence about her, something which the male characters appear to ignore. the Photos below are the costumes of the men in our Thriller.

Classroom Notes from the opening scene of "Seven"

The Opening of the film goes straight into the scene of Morgan Freeman (Decetive Somerset) in his apartment. This is before credits or titles. There is no speach but we get to know a small ammount about his way of life. He is Quiet, Tidy and witheld. He has very particular ways of getting ready to leave his house.
Next Shot, still no titles is a dead body, the blood is highlighted by the lighting.
Voice of a police officer talking about the neighbours account of what was happening.
Enterence of Brad Pitt (Detective Mills) to the crime scene.

Detective Somerset:
Quieter, Old, Wise, Logical.
Fussy, Lonely?
Wears a Hat - a sign of an upstanding gentleman?

Detective Mills:
Sarcastic, Wise-act, Confident
Young/Stupid?
They are contrasting characters.

Titles Come after end of Convosation in the street between the two detectives.
Opening credits are strange. Lots of flickering and movement.
They are very uneasy and gruesome.
Dark Shadows are Used typical of Thrillers.
The flashing images give a sense of unease to the viewer.
Childrens Writing? Images of cencoring, photographs being developed. finger naiils being cut. Lots of images of books and writing.

Location Shots.

These are Photos of our locations. Underneath is a description of the places and the ways in which we intend to use them. The building we are using is an old burnt out building that was previously used as a small sports center. Above is an Aeriel view of the view, i used google maps to obtain this image.


^
This is the apporach to the entrance to our location. It is particulally dark and mysterious and will look good in the right lighting. I think that this shot would be good for a tracking shot or a long shot. The allyway gives the impression of entrapment and can be very scary at night walking alone.


^
This shot is taken from the end of the field, i think the field itself represents being exposed, and being vunerable. it will look good at sunset where the shadows of the trees have an overbearing effect. It also gives a good shot of the building that the thriller will be set in.


^
This photo is of the side of the "civ" building which we are using to film our thriller. The building is old, burnt down and gives the feel of an unsafe place for our characters to be hiding from eachother. The building is large, and has been battered and Graffiti's by youths. I think that it is a perfect place to film a thriller.


^
This is the first corridor of the enterance to our location. It is Grimey and battered and isnt a particulally safe place to be in. It will look scary at night when we are filming it and with the right light useage we can focus on certain elements, such as shadows on the grimey walls and the battered ceilings and floors.


^
This is a photo of Daniel in the first room, this room was once a squash court and is now not used to anything. The room is large and like the corridor covered in graffitti. It again follows our thriller feel of being burnt and run down and is scary. The room is dirty and run down, it is a grimey place to be hiding from unfriendly characters in our plot.


^
This is another room we are thinking of filming in, the pool table is still intact but dirty and un-used. I think that the connotations of the pool room are nice, Pool tables are expensive and found in the houses of rich people and nices public houses, therefor this is a juxtapose for the pool table in the horrible burnt out house.


^
This is the gaping hole at the end of the corridor which leads to another building and the woodland outside. I think it adds to the effect of the house because it makes the place feel unsecre and exposed. I think that it is an ideal place to set our thriller task.

An essay analysing the opening of the third man.

The Opening of The Third Man is very typical of Film Noir. The Opening Credits are in White Bold letters, which stand out against the dark "zither strings" that are playing a song in the background, the notes are flat but the tune is upbeat and sticcato. This song was released after the film which topped the international music charts in 1950. After this opening, the shot moves straight to a shot of a vienna sky line, post war. The mood of the image is dark and depressing, a city which has suffered bombing and sufferage. There are images of trade in the black market or "underground economy" a market that trades without reguard to tax or law. Images of Traiding in the blackmarket in Vienna accompany his voice over which switches and begins talking about the city, he talks about the four corners of the city that are being govenrned by 4 nationalities. The British, The American, The French and The Russian. The many shots of archetecture are gothic and depressed. After this the voice introduces us to Holly Martins, a man who has travelled to Vienna after his friend Harry Lime has offered him a chance to work with him. While he is talking about him we see images of Soldiers and War related images. Martins Appears of a Steam Train in traditional dress. A suit, Hat and Breifcase. According to Standard at the time this was seen as a very appropraite way to dress. It seems that all of his Possessions are in the one breifcase he is carrying, this suggests he doesnt have many possessions. After speaking to a guard in the train station Martins makes his journey to Limes house. It is not yet known how they are friends and where he origionally came from. Aswell we are unaware of who the narator is. Just before Martins gets to the house he walks under a ladder which is traditionally bad luck. The house is beautiful, but very empty, this is apparent from the beginning. After walking up a very large grand, Gothic staircase he is told by a german man that he has just missed limes frineds who were going to his funeral and that Lime was killed by a lorry in front of the house. The Mood of the whole opening scene is very Depressing, Martins is upbeat and jolly and we do not see his reaction to find that the man who he would be living and working with has died days before. Alot of the Film uses harsh lighting and distorted camera angles. All the the Locations are very traditional for post war Vienna, and set the mood of the situation in the film properly. The Opening of The third man does not reveal much of the plot and up to this part in the film, the audience is unaware of what will unfold in the rest of the film. The mood of the film fits in the with mood at the time it was released. The world was still very interested in War, and the impact that it had on the entire world.
