Codes And Conventions Of Thrillers - The Colour Red

Blood is used a lot of the time at the end the piece. We used this to emphasise the thriller aspect. People associate the colour red with danger, violence, anarchy and also death, due to the blood being red. When making the blood, I made the colour of it dark red because usually dark red is shown more to emphasise death in films, so this helps show how much of a thriller it really could be.

Filming Schedule

Filming Day 3

The next part of the filming process involved filming Chloe Brock in the next part of the morning after scene. I filmed her waking up in a field. At first I was curious about the weather so we had to postpone it for another day when it was more sunny. I didn't have the ingredients to make the fake blood I did first so instead we used red paint. It didn't have the same realistic effect as the fake blood mixed but it still worked.
The day I filmed was rather sunny. When the sun went into Chloe's eyes, it made her squint which made her look tired which adds to the realism of the piece.

Music Choice

Music has been difficult to obtain for our piece because we haven't got any permission from the labels we contacted. We decided to see if there were any copyright free tracks we could use. To our luck we found this track which suits are opening scene and is copyright free. So, Rhiannon will edit it in to some of the footage and see is it works. Link Below.

It's called Boombox Cartel - Hysteria ("WTF Is Festival Trap"Anthem)

Filming - Day 2

On the second day of filming, I filmed the first waking up scene. It involved waking up on a bench with blood on their hands. To make the fake blood, I mixed cornflour, red food colouring and water. It made a very realistic bowl of blood which looked great when George dipped his hands into it (as you can see below).

I put the neon paint on his face like we did in the party filming to add to the realism of the mise-en-scene. The setting we used was good because it was very different to the party scene so it allowed us to explore different angles in the wider location.
