Media Terminology
The 180 degree rule: Two characters in the same scene should always be on the same left right relationship in order to maintain consistency throughout and avoid any confusion. If two characters are facing each other there is an imaginary line the camera cannot cross if it does this is called a reverse angle.
Shot reverse shot: Where one character is shown looking at another character then we see that character looking back, we assume they are looking at each other.
Match on action: A film editing technique where one person is shown in the same pace as he was in the last scene to create continuity and the illusion the character is moving through two scenes the same not two pieces of film cut together.

Thriller Film Treatment
Our opening sequence is a titled sequence. There are a couple of friends gathered in Poringland woods. This socialising time is a picnic in the frosty and -4 degree woods! It will be a picnic of unusual food. There will be few titles in this sequence and it will last for approximately two minutes. There will also be a voice over at the beginning accompanied by panning shots. The two characters are sitting on a log, chatting about their day. The soundtrack for the opening is IV: a keyboard played piece of music.
The first shot is of the 2 characters talking. Their dialogue will be diegetic and included in the frame but will be quite quiet. The second shot is a pan of the two running away after they hear the gunfire, around the edge. Both of the characters will be in the frame. Non-diegetic music will be playing.
Our inspirational film is ‘The Blair Witch Project’ which shows young teenagers on an adventure and camping out in a wood. We have changed the camping for a gathering and thought this would be a good way to perceive things; the cameras at times being the characters’ eyes. The soundtrack for the film is 'XI'.
Our film starts with a gathering and then a gun shot is sounded. Both characters are screaming and running around frantically because they are panicking. The camera follows the two specific characters as they run into a deserted field. The characters pick up on the sound of heavy breathing and, as most thriller films do, there is someone following them. He is dressed in his gamekeeper coat. The guys hurry to run as far away as possible to the nearest safety.
The rest of the film would be the two characters still being friends about five years later. The guy who followed them is still stalking them and has their pictures pinned up on his wall. He strategically kills them off one by one until they are both dead, sends them notes and such through their letter boxes. And finally, at the end of the film, the guy returns to the wood.
