Film - Final concept

A criminal will be chased by two police officers. Several different camera angles will be used to give the film a faster pace and a more professional feel. Fast paced music will play over the scene and there will be no dialogue on order to avoid audio issues. The policemen will wear suits on order to make them look professional while the criminal will wear a hoodie to give the impression that he is a delinquant. The film will be shot pn the Wirral way so that we have plenty of space to film and a large distance to run.

Final Genre

For our genre we have chosen to do an action/thriller in the form of a chase scene. The reason we have decided upon this is that a chase scene is a good way to start a film since it adds suspense and intreague, if done correctly. It is also a good way to use many different camera angles which will give the chase scene a faster pace.

Storyboards and Shot Prompt sheet

We have decided to use the third storyboard since the first was not detailed enough to allow for interesting camera anglea and the second ended poorly. The third storyboard closely resembles the second however the end is slightly modified to allow for a linear shot which slows down the pace as may be expected at the start of a film.

Audience Survey: Results

Based on the results I have gathered I have decided that, while we are still doing a thriller, it may benefit us to make it more action heavy with occasional comic relief. I have reached this conclusion since both action and comedy scored very highly on the favorite film genre question.
