G321 Thriller Research - The Seventh Seal
I have chosen to upload this clip because it uses a black and white filter and many ambitious shots that I could use for my Final Thriller Film.
I can use the shots and the filters in my movie to add tension and drama, these are the key items of a thriller film, and most successful films like "Casino Royale" and "Kill Bill" Movies use these to add a dramatic and dark tone.

G321 Thriller Research - Kill Bill Volume 1 Clip
I chose to post this video clip from "Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)", because it includes many uses of different shots that I could use in my Final Thriller Film.
I can use the type of shots in order to achieve a higher grade by using ambitious shots, and to add tension and panic, this movie uses these shots to add tension and to make the audience be "on the edge of their seats" by using tight and claustrophobic spaces and shots.
At the beginning of the clip, it uses a type of effective shot this is "Shot Reverse Shot", the use of this reflects the past relationship between the protagonist and the antagonist known as "Vernita" and shows how the protagonist has grown to hate Vernita, the use of the black and white filter within the shot connotes sadness and despair to past events and the flip back to colour then shows the audience that the clip has gone back to the present and to display how much hate she has towards the antagonist.
The use of the worms eye shot in the clip gives the character vulnerability and displays a chance that the character may meet a gruesome and horrible end to their lives, many other action movies like it's sequel / follow up to Tarantino's classic "Kill Bill Vol. 2" and in Frank Miller's "300" use this to achieve the same purpose, to make the audience feel that the character is vulnerable and in danger, the character its looking up at makes them seem powerful and in current control
The use of zooms and close ups gives the clip a tight and claustrophobic atmosphere which will thrill the audience and create tension within the clip.
The use of zoom also focuses on the hate between the two characters (which is achieved in the beginning of the clip and during the fight).

Post Preliminary task idea.
Group 2:
Actor (Victim / Main) - Luke Syder.
Actor (Thief / Secondary) - Cameron Owen.
Camera Work - Rahim Rahat.
Name of Production - "Missing".
Plot :
The protagonist is looking for his missing flash drive, including all of his files, the antagonist says he has not seen it and will let the protagonist know if he sees it, turns out the antagonist has had it all along!
But we produced an alternative ending, the protagonist leaves the room, the antagonist feels bad that he took the flash drive, he runs after the protagonist and gives it back, the two then become friends.
*During our shooting, we can across some funny situations like actors tripping over hazards, break downs, and awkward and hilarious moments, so we will also do a "gag reel", this will be posted on the blog, along with the original Preliminary task and alternative ending.*

Studied Movies for Summer task images.
Here is the movies that I studied for my summer task:
Casino Royale, L.A. Noire and L.A. Confidential.
G321 Thriller Research - YouTube clips (Summer Gap Task Research).
Here is a embed of three YouTube videos, the first clip is the pre-title opening of "Casino Royale". The second clip is the opening of "L.A. Confidential, and the final clip is the opening of Rockstar Games "L.A. Noire. I chose this as it includes many similar features to a classic thriller film, such features like the black and white filter, a fight scene and a confrontation. I also studied these clips as part of my Media Summer Gap Task. Enjoy!
In the first clip, I can use its black and white filter in my movie because it can add a darker and eerie tone.
In the second clip, I can include the shots to produce ambition and to add variety to my film.
In the third and final clip, I can use the location and shots in my movie, I could use streets and alleyways to shoot my movie as most thriller film scenes take place in the street or in dark and treacherous alleyways, also I can use the shots to add tension and tone.
Once again, enjoy the clips!
