Evaluation Activity 1

1. The title of the film is Pandemic which we feel fits under the Thriller category as you are not going to have a Ron-Com called Pandemic. It also makes the audience wonder what is going to happen in this film.
2. The location of the film was filmed up in London when it was deserted so that we can capitalise on the Mise en scene of our thriller and having London deserted.
3. The costume that we used for the thriller was just ordinary everyday clothing for a male of my age to make it seem real that this could happen to anyone. Also in the flashback we used different clothing so that it was made clearer that it was a flashback.
4. For the camera work we used a lot of long and mid shots to show isolation. This also emphasised the fact that something was not right at the start.
5. We used Lucida sans font as it fits into the thriller conventions by being blunt and clear.
6. We started with the quote “I’m running, I don't know why I'm running, maybe to something or to somewhere, all I know is that I'm running". This was to create an enigma at the start and to fit into the conventions of a thriller and make it clear from the start that this is a thriller.
7. The character is introduced by a tilt down gherkin into an empty car park drive way where the main protagonist appears from. with the establishing shot being the Gherkin it shows to the audience that we are in London then when the tilt comes down there is no cars no people and only the protagonist with a long shot showing that they are far away and isolated.
