Cast List, Props List, Floor Plan and Storyboard

For our shooters we used Guy Simpson And Rory Skeoch as they look completely different making them seem ordinary. Guy has dark hair which can convey the darkness of the character. Rory has a shaved head which symbolises the military side of two boys. The rest of our cast is a mixture of male and female students, we chose a selection of people who stereotypically would appear to be a group of friends so that we can sit them together and shoot the closer shots of them being killed however we chose a variety so that they would appear as normal students. Everyone used in the cast were students from Hurtwood House therefore they would be realistic at playing the roles and can relate to the characters.

We are going to hire the weapons, for everything else we will use our own belongings. Guy has army clothing which we will use for the shooters.

The next step in the pre-production process of creating an opening sequence of a Thriller was to start producing storyboards. A storyboard is a detailed breakdown of the specific technicalities that the production crew must follow whilst shooting. It also provides a clear guide for the editor to construct the sequence as the creator intended it to look and sound. The storyboard therefore details camera, sound, lighting and mise en scene details as well as dictating timing, pace and editing style.

Initially our group finalised the specific shots in sequence order by carefully visualising the sequence and researching existing movies that used a similar filmic style.
