Risk assesment


This is the busy road that was mentioned in our risk assessment.  At the top of the road, there are more cars and it is busier, this was when we began to film through rush area and how dangerous the road was changed.  As a group, we were aware of the changing situation and adapted our filming because of this.  This involved moving all our equipment to one side of the road so we would not have to keep crossing whilst there was moving traffic.

This picture shows a small area of densely compacted twigs near the pavement.  Some of these were sticking up, and across the pavement so we made our actors aware of this and moved any twigs and sticks out of the way of each filming area before we started.  We also kept looking at whether any had moved once members of the general public had walked past as they could have moved the twigs which may have caused injury to our actors if they went unnoticed.

The Name Of Our Thriller

The name of our thriller is one of the most important things that we as a group need to consider, the name will represent our entire film.  Therefore it has to be strong and catching, drawing the audience's attention to it, when discussing this in our group we decided we wanted a short, catching title that didn't give away what our film was about.  We studied different thriller film titles, for example: the film 'Taken' is about a daughter that gets 'Taken' by a group of men and her father has to find and rescue her.  The name is a clear indication of what the film is about, it is one word so it stands out against other titles and is easy to remember.
Here are some potential names for our Thriller that we discussed:

  
  1. Hallucination 
  2. Mistake
  3. Delusion
  4. Resentement
  5. Existence
  6. Alone
  7. Emotions
  8. After hours
  9. Intuition
  10. Disturbed
                
After looking at the good and bad points of these names we came to the conclusion that number 5 'Existence' was suited the best to our thriller.  However, as a group we felt it needed to be stronger - therefore by adding the word 'the' before it will make the title stand out.  'The existence' is the name we have decided to use as the title of our thriller. This is because it is relevant to our Thriller, as our protagonist is a ghost and the word 'existence' is suggesting that ghosts and other paranormal things exist.
