Costume Ideas For Thriller

We want to replicate the youth of today with the costumes. The people that rioted wore hooded jumpers, tracksuit bottoms. They tried to look as less unidentifiable as possible, by covering their faces with balaclavas.

This is the type of costumes our characters who are rioting would wear. As it is set in the current time the costumes wont be hard to prepare for shoot day.

The other cast members will be passers by wearing day to day outfits that someone of that age would of this day. Such as a t-shirt jeans and coat. There could also me people coming home from work in suits.

Cast List

 This is the cast list for the extras.  They are picked to look like a normal society and passers by. However some are also picked to be included in the riots. The younger people are used to be in the riots as age 16-19 are the most likely to be rioting. The elder people are more likely to be passers by, rushing home with their shopping.

Locations Ideas for Thriller

For the first part of our thriller we planned to film in Turrets house. We would set this up the way we want to shoot, so that it looked like a flat of a man who wasnt going through debt, but also was not very wealthy. This way it would show that some people involved in the riots did not do it do steal becuase they didnt have enough money to buy things. But it would show that some people were just bored and looking for something to do, like our main character.

This is Turrets house where we will be shooting the first part of our thriller.

In the second part of our thriller, when the man leaves his flat to blow up cars, we were first going use the side streets behind Cranleigh. However it came to our attention that it would be just as similar if we did this shooting inside the school grounds in Hurtwood House car park. We would keep the shots close up so that you cant notice too many trees and so that it looks more like London rather then the countryside. We thought this would be a better option then traveling to London itself as this would be time consuming when we could get similar shots in school as long as we were careful about what was in the shot.

Group Discussion 3

We later spoke to Matt again about the idea. We decided to take inspiration from a movie where this a man is watching TV and a bottle gets thrown through his window. He gets up and goes out of his house to cause mayhem. We planned to focus on one man during the riots. He would be watching TV in his old flat, watching the London Riots on the news. The man would then turn the TV off and the noise of the riots would then continue on in the background. This would allow the audience to realise that the riots are going on outside his flat. He would then leave his flat and go out onto a street which we decided would be filmed in backstreets in Cranleigh. We would use different camera angles to hide the fact we are not in London (holding it downward to remove the trees from the shot). The man would walk down and start blowing up cars. We thought this idea would be better following one man that is scarier and more destructive then anybody else. This would make the audience want to watch the rest of the film and find out what else this man will do in the film.

Group Discussion 2

After we decided on our idea we talked to Matt to see what he thought. We agreed that in the London riots people dont normally plan their rioting but it is a spur of the moment thing. So then our idea changed to the gang doing their rioting in a church car park. We planned to use the car park in the school and make a sign off the internet to show that it was a church car park. We were going to have people blowing the cars up and making a scene. The petrol idea was going to be used with continous shots throughout the title sequence of a man trailing petrol behind him around the car park. The camera shot would be low- following his feet, and the petrol trail. We would continue to use music from 'Kidulthood' or 'Adulthood' in the background.

Group Discussion

In our group we discussed what we liked in each  others ideas. We all liked Bella's idea of doing something to do with the London riots, and the idea of the petrol dripping along the ground from my idea. We thought London Riots would be good because it was a real event that happened recently. Together we decided to film characters which would be part of a gang in london. They would be filmed in a room. Their actions would be close up, for example someone chewing gum, lighting a ciggarette or close ups of previous newspaper artcicles to let the audience know what the clip was about. It would start with the gang outside a council estate and then a shot of them running up the stairs. The sound would be mute at this moment. The teenagers would enter the room and turn a radio on and music would start. The music would be similar to that in the film 'Adulthood' or 'Kidulthood'. The gang would be planning how they were going to go into the riots and what they were to do.
