Movie synopsis for the whole thriller

The film tells the tail of Ewan, a normal guy with normal problems, plunged into a bad crowd of gangsters, drug deals, pay-offs and murders. But when he is mistaken by some unwanted gangsters as being an undercover goon of one of their money obsessed competitors, he is forced into some extremely dangerous business. We follow Ewan as he is put through hell by the gang leader, as he is captured in a club whilst waiting for friends and dragged into transporting money and pulled into gun fights.

Foundation Production Props

The props we have decided to use in our thriller opening are as follows:

• We are going to think about the costumes of the victim and also the Hitman in the chase scene e.g. simple casual clothes for the Victim and more appropriat clothes for the Hitman, for example darker more concealing clothes.  
• We are going to use a gun for the chase scene held by the Hitman.
• During the club scene we will use a glass to simulate a drink of Jack Daniels that Dani gives me.
• For the gig Jack is going to have three guitars due to different tunings in the guitars, they are not going to be fake guitars.
• Dani is going to wear things that resemble a waitress who works at this club. She will also bring a tray to carry the drink on so it's realistic to see she's a professional waitress

Group Evaluation - Positives and Negatives

As a group we have decided to be very critical of our work, we have concluded that our main problem was lighting and in some cases white balance, however this was our only significant error.

Positives:
We included 180 degree rule
Match on action
Elements of mise en scene
Use of setting
Establishing shot
Cut, editing continuity
Camera shots size, angles and movement

Negatives:
Lighting/white balance in certain shots
Fitting our shots into the allowed length of film
Continuity in one or two elements of mise en scene

Dialogue Changes

The meeting scene between Jake and Dom required dialogue. The dialogue that was initially going to be used was changed slightly to fit the mood of the scene better. We had to make it more sharp and suspicious sounding to fit the thriller genre.

The original dialogue:
Dom: Your here...finally.
Jake: Yes i'm here, how do you have the package?
Dom: It's here, you'll get a text any minute. It will tell you what you need to do.
Jake: I know what i need to do.
Dom: Then what are you waiting for?

The changed dialogue:
Dom: You're late.
Jake: Yeah. Sorry. You got it?
Dom: It's over there
Jake: What's this for?
Dom: Just follow the instructions.
Jake: I know what i'm doing.
Dom: Well...What the hell are you waiting for?

As shown, our new dialogue is a lot more abrupt and Jake and Dom much more intense in their speech, towards one another.
