Production (Shoot) Log, Pre-Production
Before starting any pre-production, our teacher made it clear as to how essential it was to analyze other teaser trailers before coming up with any ideas for our own.
The first task we ventured upon was creating a questionnaire that would help reveal our target audience, which we handed out to a number of varied people. Our results were conclusive to the fact that our target audience were young teenagers who preferred to watch films that had a narrative based on the thriller conventions.
We then conjured up a number of different ideas that mostly revolved around a deranged serial killer with a psychosis. We found it of high importance to have a some sort of plot twist that our viewers would most enjoy.
When we finally had our pitch describing our narrative in detail, as a group we used the device of a wordle to generate a title for our movie. Deathly Obsession was born out of this device.
Before starting any written work like scripting and scheduling we formed a Treatment that displays all of our ideas that would be presented as a business plan.
From that we set out to story board our movie, writing in detail every shot we would like to include which then helped us to script the film, though we have not been able to scan those writings up onto the computer.
Finally we created a schedule that lists out our whole day of shooting so that we would have a clear plan to follow.

Photography Second Shoot
For our second shoot we introduced the character Michael who will have the main focus of the movie. We decided to separate them in interest of foreshadowing the future conflict that is to errupt between them. the presence of the scissors is the key to their conflict creating a sense of imminent danger and it is also part of the iconography of the thriller genre.
Photography First Shoot
These photographs are all different variations of what we wanted to protray in our posters of our protagonist Jessica. We used a plain white background to keep the image as clean as possible and it would also save us from complications if we were to use photoshop. We decided to go with a naturalistic light set up but with a hint of moodiness, this relates to making the thriller genre more plausible but still giving its deserved melancholic conventions. We then moved on to a warmer light with more pronounced shadows which we thought enhanced its dynamic and theatrical aspects. We also explored a number of ways the prop of the scissors could be used, first trying a very exposed look and then moving towards a more subtler and covert picture. There are two images present where we decided to play with colour. We thought the colours green and red would work best with our genre and its conventions.
