Planning

Films that encouraged us to film Walk in the Park .
Nicholas Cage's Bangkok Dangerous, the film uses many low camera angle shots to create tension and intimidation throughout the film. Our group felt this would be a good idea to implement in our opening to a thriller. We also felt that all these films had the conventions of a thriller. So we felt we had to meet certain audience expectations in the thriller opening to catch our potential audience. We felt the most important aspect was to make sure the music in the soundtrack would catch our audience.

We planned to use violins in our soundtrack because in some thrillers, they include violins in the soundtrack which can build tension when its played fast. Other preparations from our planning was made from our preliminary task. This practice helped us understand how to use the camera for certain shots such as 'shot reverse shot' and the 180 degree rule. This was very helpful as our groups editing would soon hopefully be improved by it. As our thriller trailer is called ‘Walk in the Park’, we chose to use the park across the college for our set. We chose to use the park because we wanted our set to fit in with the main title.

Costume
The props we used in our thriller opening eg. Papers, bags helped us make the thriller opening realistic. We used the mirror newspaper styled font to help to make this film look as if it has really happened. Other forms of planning was to get our actors. We used 3 people in our group to do the acting in the play. We also included four mourners towards the end of the trailer. To get our cast was not particularly difficult. The actors chose themselves to play roles in our opening sequence to a thriller.. As we want to use a conventional male killer, we used a male to play the role of a killer.
