Production Meeting 1

Our first production meeting simply outlines what we are going to do/ the process of creating our Thriller Film. In creating our Thriller Film we are going to look at such things as the initial idea which involves the following conventions:

• Storyline
• Setting
• Props
• Title
• Characters
• Sound/Music.

We are also going to study/research famous British Filmmaker and Producer Alfred Hitchcock. In regards to Hitchcock we are going to study his work and his use of Film Language (Lighting and Colour, Sound, Camera Movement, Camera Framing, Editing and Mise-en-Scene). By doing so, we will, have an insight into the key conventions of a Thriller Film. His use of film language will inspire us to create our own Thriller.

The key conventions of a Thriller Film will also be considered in the making of our film. This would give us an insight/break down into what our film must contain. Therefore a general overview/study of Thriller Films is essential.

Hitchcock's famous films were based on suspense and psychological thriller genres.

In doing so we assigned ourselves different Thriller movies/films to watch. We then came together and adapted several different aspects of each movie that inspired us to produce our own Thriller. We gradually came up with different ideas for our final outcome.

Possible changes would be made to our final outcome in due course.
