Film institutions



When looking for inspiration from film institutions for my thriller I looked at Lionsgate as it is a  nearly $2billion diversified global entertainment corporation and have won multiple awards for their films including multiple thrillers, in fact they have won 47 Academy Award nominations and 10 Oscar wins over the past 10 years, more than any other independent studio.

Two films from Lionsgate stand out to me as they are both extremely popular yet are very different, despite this they also have features of the thriller I am creating. These films are the SAW films and the Hunger games films, The hunger games films are similar to the setting of our thriller as it is set in a dense woodlands. Whereas features from SAW have been used such as the attackers mask which has a creepy smile and the aspect of fear.

 

Pictures of filming

These are some of the shots we took while out filming, These help show the setting we used such as the woods and how lifeless and creepy winter had made it look. This helped create a mood within the short film.

The first picture shows how far away our long shots were and that the weather had a major effect on how we had to film as Vicky had to run from left to right due to the wind, then had to keep this consistent throughout filming. The second picture shows the camera angle we used by the go pro to film Vicky running we made sure the shot was taken behind a few branches to create a creepy stalker effect.
