We are all members of Great Wyrley Performing Arts High School Sixth form Media studies group. We have come together to form a production company in which a two minute short film will be filmed, edited and produced. The following blog posts will show the pathway to our final product, through research & planning, filming and editing.  I have chosen to create a thriller due to the technology, budget and location issues with other genres within the film business;

• Science-Fiction film; would require a powerful animation software which we have no use of in school.
• Crime; we would have to promote crime, mobsters and gangster attitudes within the film in which we have no budget for.
• Horror; it would be very difficult to create a horror film due to the extend script and storyboard writing to create the horror theme.
• Historical; it would be hard to recreate the time set with no budget due to the large amount of costume needed.

During my blog, I am going to conduct research into thriller films in order to create an accurate film in the genre of a thriller. I will use videos from Youtube and films from a range of thrillers for comparison use. I will show you my journey through planning and research, filming and the final two minute edited film.

Through creating this blog and completing the production process, it will enable me to become a better film producer through completing all the stages of producing a film; by working with high definition cameras, Film production and editing software along with all the pre-production; storyboarding, scripting, location research, costume and make up research, prop research, animatic completion.
