Task 7: ROLL ALLOCATION
I will be doing everything as I am working alone, I've chosen this as I feel I can work better in this project as I wont have the distraction from working with others and also I wont have to depend on them.

Task 6: STORY BOARD
This is my storyboard, it is a ruff idea of the how I want my film to look and the shots I will use, my film doesnt consists of much transitions as I want it to look more realistic, most of the transitions are straight cuts with the odd dissolve to show the passing of time.
Task 5: SCRIPT
I'm not going to have the actors talking in the opening to my film, I've decided to have a voice over as I feel it's more effective and gives the viewers a better understandng of the film.
Voice Over:
My name is India Stevens and my life is over, I am on the verge of ending it, as i feel There is no purpose of me on this earth, but at the same time someone else is thinking the same thing...
Im am here in this room and im finally writing my suicide letter to tell all those I love (if any) of the reasons why im about to do this..
I am in deep depression
I have no-one to talk to
No friends
No family
And Ive now lost my boyfriend..
Now you answer me this, can you think of any reason why I should go on?...
Before you answer theres one minor situation.
I'm already Dead.

Task 4: The Pitch
1st Idea:
I had an idea to make my own version of the 2010 film Chat Room. I would have a group of students who spend all of their time on social networks meeting different people everyday, and i would show the challenges that they go through. It would be very eary and abstract which would make it a thriller, based around 5 characters when they log into the chat room it literally becomes a different room for them to socialize, it becomes realistic, and it will show the different struggles that young adults go through on a daily basis. One of the main characters get addicted to one of the chat rooms which encourages people to become annorexic because it's the way forward but thing's get out of hand when they become too addicited, there are also chatrooms which consists of bulling and other unappropriate subjects.
2nd Idea:
I had another idea, set in a college, a boy is being stalked by a girl who is totally in love with him, he doesn't know but she secretly takes pictures of him and has them spread around her room , she's a very dark person who harms herself and blocks the world out because of this by. He finds out and things don't go a swell as she hoped, he orders her to stay away and things get even darker as she begins to take her anger out on other people and the people the boy loves also, as she feels this will make them closer but he finds out the truth and insists on revenge! all that has happend gets too much for the girl and she eventually takes her own life trying to take the boy down with her one last time, but it doesnt work out to plan.
3rd Idea:
My 3rd idea was based on a recurring nightmare the character has at night, he keeps seeing himself surrounded by many dead people and himself covered in blood, he doesnt know what's causing this nightmare, so he goes to see different doctors and therapist but none of them have an answer, he gets weird signs and signal's into his dream and follows it up alone until his dream becomes a reality and he has to fight alone to stop it from happening. My idea for this film was inspired by the trilogy 'final destination' as I feel it's a very abstract film and has alot of obsticles to pass untill you find out the truth.
4th Idea:
my final idea consists of a young girl who is going through a dark period in her life, she gets bullied at school and her 'so called' boyfriend doesn't care about her. she sinks into a deep depression and is on the verge of killing herself, but theres a twist to the story. Her boyfriend and Best friend BOTH want her dead and plan to do it themselves. There will be a voice over throughout parts of the film begining with the opening, it will be the main characters voice which makes it very eary, as the film begins with her dead on the floor surrouned by people and her voice explaining, so its like a voice of a spirit! This film is based in a hospital room surrounded by white walls to signify her loneliness and the state of her mind.she writes a suicide note and plans to kill herself untill her 'boyfriend' and friend find out were she is...
Final Choice
I have decided to make my forth idea my final decision as I feel I can get alot from it, I have alot of ideas to make this film and I belive it is at my standard of work. I felt more comfortable when writing out this idea because I think the film relates to young teenagers as there are alot who go through the same struggles.

Questionnaire Report
From constructing my questionnaire i have found out several things.
SEVEN was the film that came up the most when i asked about peoples favourite thrillers. this shows that people like to see and challenge within a film and likes the idea of a mystery that needs to be sold, this has helped me because it has given me different ideas to create my own film. other films such as inception and law abiding citizen also came up.
A lot of different characters came up that they would like to see in a thriller such as:
Protagonist/Antagonist
Mysterious
Clever
Challenging
By seeing this I will definitely be considering adding in characters like this.
A few people said that they would want to see a thriller set in town or in a city, which i think would be good as i can have a verity of locations to film in.
Uneasy, classical, brooding and tense where types of music they would expect to see, i like the idea of the classical music being use because even though is very calm it tells a story and i think it would really set the scene for my chosen theme.
I don't want my film to be a typical thriller, so i have the idea to use my females than male to change it a bit, this came up in my questionnaire answers as someone said the didn't like the fact that its 'Too male orientated'. also that the build up to the main plot is too slow, so I won't pro-long the story i will keep it really compact so that it doesn't bore the audience.
