Starting Editing
Sub-genres
The Bourne Ultimatum - Action Thriller
This sub-genre uses physical action to create suspense and emphasis within the film. It contains physical stunts, chases, fights, battles, and races. These scenes contribute to the overall sense of danger within the film. Jason Bourne dodges a ruthless CIA official and his agents from a new assassination program while searching for the origins of his life as a trained killer.

Thriller Opening Pitch
For myself, Kelly and Andrew's Thriller opening we came up with the idea of a Film Noir/ Feme Fatale Thriller.
This is our pitch that we presented:

Furor Animatic
This is a Animatic that myself, Kelly and Andrew created. The process we used for this was taking single pictures of our storyboard, of the shots we want to film for our Thriller Opening. Using the pictures we took of our storyboard we imported these to Final Cut and made a Animatic. I then exported this to Youtube and here it is:

Group Discussion
Production: We have chosen to use DNA films because they are
behind some of the most distinctive UK films of recent years. Also
because forthcoming projects of theirs include supernatural thrillers.
Films they have previously produced include 28 Days Later and The Last
King of Scotland.
Distribution:
UK - Because this is where it will be filmed and will be produced by independent film company.
Germany - Because they have a large English speaking population.
USA - Because many successful American films are popular in the UK, so to test whether independent British films can succeed in America. Also because previous Femme Fatale films were American so the sub genre links back to the original iconic Film Noir movies.
Australia - Again they have a large English speaking population.
China - Their country is very technological so releasing a new film there should produce a widespread audience.
Exhibition:
Our target audience would be people who favour the thriller genre, but also who like independent film companies. Our film certificate would be 15 as the film would feature scenes inappropriate for younger ages. Social class does not affect our film as it does not relate to any particular one. However people who are well educated in similar films will appreciate watching this as they will be able to identify the homage used in this film. Finally, audiences of an elder age would benefit more as they would be able to relate to original film noir movies and point out 'Fatal Attraction' in the background, where as a younger audience would not be familiar with it.
Aspects our film will contain that certify it as a 15:
-Violence
-Strong language
-Scene of torture

Thriller Genre
This is a post about what I have learnt so far within Media Studies about the Thriller Genre:
Intertexual is between texts where the director of a film liked the idea and incorporated it within their film. This is called Homage; in other words it means paying tribute to the original. Intertexuality is when a director using something that is already existing from something else; things such as borrowing ideas creating a parody. Generic conventions are regular features which are expected to be in a film depending upon the Genre.
Binary opposites are when two opposites are clashed; Good Vs Evil - Innocence Vs Evil. Ideology means to have a set of ideas. For instance the idea of Happiness = Material things. Big business are dominant within our society and send us Hedgemonic messages which make us think what they say and present to us is the 'Norm'.
An example of a Hedgemonic message within Film would be the idea of a Ideal Family. Within Film the ideal family would be a Heterosexual couple; married with kids. Having a big Christmas dinner and the situation where the teenage daughter/son has a rebellion with the mother/father. Hedgemonic messages encourage us to accept certain values within society.
Other messages such as white people are seen to be dominant in Film and that Beauty is essential to be successful. Films which give us these Hedgemonic messages are called 'Ideological Films' - repeat things for us to accept a 'Norm'.
