Account Of Research Sources

During My personal research, Scott and i thought of the perfect example for the bit of our thriller that might include flashbacks, this idea came from Rihanna's Music Video - Russian Roulette
,where you can see flashbalacks that last a few seconds throughout the video , to get an idea of what happend in the past that lead to the present situation/ mind state of the main femal character, which is almost the same kind of effect we would like to create in out thriller to give the audience a brief sense of understanding , in terms of the characters past.

Storyboarding Of Elizabeth's Diary ( Thriller)

Once a concept or script is written for a film or animation, the next step is to make a storyboard. A storyboard visually tells the story of an animation panel by panel, kind of like a comic book.

For our group storyboard i have taken up the role of drawing in the pictures and i got to write up the storyboard for the 13th to 16th shot, Each group meber took on a role , for example alex edited the written content to make sure everyone's input would match the general concept trying to be achived.

I personally belive that Storyboarding is no substitute for filming and editing, but it's a very useful tool for getting my group members and i to plan and visualise our ideas and to ensure that we do make use of a variety of shots and angles.

First Group Meeting-Elizabeth's Diary ( Discussion)

Our group got together In Class to discus our ideas for our thriller "Elisabeth's diary". We discussed the roles each of our group members were going to take, decided on our leading actress and discussed the various props we would be likely to use and we decided that we could get them at the party shop down in Guildford.
We also decided that i would be drawing the pictures for the storyboard.
Our must difficult decision was figuring out our locations,but after a discussion with Scott, we decided for the establishing shot we we would use a barn near school and also the studio for the interior shots.

The thriller is based on the character Elizabeth Carter, who is a loner and constantly gets bullied by her peers, Davina Thorne, Alex Hall, Ross Gordon and Tinuke Kola-Abiola. Elizabeth Carter is constantly being bullied at school due to her autistic disability. She is an incredibly keen writer and reverts to her black diary for comfort in expressing her feelings about her peers.

Suddenly two of the four bullies die, in horrific ways. Elizabeth discovers that the deaths match the way she wanted them to die according to the writing in her diary. Once she discovers this, she turns suicidal and delusional.

A few days after the deaths, Elizabeth is announced dead. An investigation is put into her death where they discover she committed suicide.

Just when everyone thinks everything is solved, they find a new picture in the diary, and another bully dies. Once again, an investigation is put into this, with the same investigation team. They eventually link all the evidence back to the forth bully, and then the twist that it was her all along, unfolds.

Davina, the forth bully is then announced missing, and is nowhere to be found.
