Treatment

Serhan is a a gangster who deals with massive drug deals around the world, creating conflict, one day he gets into a big argument with a guy named Arif , over some money he owed him, he pulls out his gun and shoots him... and from then on Serhan's life comes to a huge standstill with Arifs girlfriend seeking revenge over him. Aslihan (Arifs girlfriend) is a forensic investigator who has been after Serhan for years, but after Serhan kills Aslihans man the whole story starts to get a bit personal with emotions running high.
Aslihan gets people to find Serhan and beat him up. A gangsta like Serhan is battered and left in a basement to suffer, whilst being questioned by Aslihan on why he killed Arif, quotes like "he was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time" from Serhan will not help the situation which he has got himself into or will it....

Final production meeting

Today our group met, at my house from 12 till 3. We had the task of finishing filming and fulfilled it. At the start we watched the scenes that we had previously filmed and discovered that there was an unwanted sound (in the scene where the phone rings and Aslihan picks up), and so we filmed that scene again. Through watching the previous filming that we had done, I also made sure all the props and equipment were in the same position as they were in before, as if they are not it would look very inaccurate and unrealistic. Today I also learnt a new skill which although I was familiar with I did not really know how to master particularly well; taking a low and high angle shot. I learnt how to master this today through filming a scene of Vedat hiding behind a wall whilst spying on Aslihan. I also think that my idea, to include leaves and branches in front of vedat's face (also whilst he is spying on Aslihan) was a good one, as it adds to the mysterious atmosphere that according to Rubin is under the Thrillers met genre, It also allows the viewer to question, an element which according to Gary Braver should be included in every successful Thriller. We decided to go against our original storyboard and end the thriller introduction with a cliffhanger (a shot focusing on the newspaper article showing why Aslihan is after revenge). We decided this was a good idea, because it allowed the audience to question what is going to happen next and how the death of her husband might of taking place, as well as the reasons behind it. At the ending of our meeting I reminded each member of the group of the tasks they are allocated, which included the blog entries and we agreed on a later date, in which we will undergo editing.

Preparation of coursework

Today, our group got together and discussed how we were going to tackle the coursework; the coursework task requires us to create the introduction of a thriller. Our group consists of four people and so together, we allocated the different role as below....-Producer=Aya and Aslihan-Camera =Vedat-Acting= we decided that we were all going to take part in the acting.We also began to consider a narrative for the film we are producing and in particular the storyboard for the introduction. As a group we thought through many ideas, the main one being that the storyline is to do with revenge and involves a kidnapping. We ended the first discussion with everyone writing down their ideas for the storyboard on a paper then handing them to a member of the group, who was in charge of doing the storyboard.
