Prop List For props we would need: VR headset for the gamer Guns (Potentially a sniper rifle for the enemy and a R4-C automatic machine gun for our main character- see below) Costumes (need army outfits) Grenade

Contacting the cast We selected people we think would suit the characters by emailing them.Now we wait to get a reply and hope they are all interested in the role.

Costume For costume , we decided upon the idea of army wear. Daisy had researched army costumes from action and and fighting games. we thought that we could dress our characters with the padding on top to add the game purpose. When Daisy saw the prices for military clothing we found that the majority of the prices were expensive.So we thought as a group we could ask the actors if they have any military clothing that we could use or we could just use the paintball outfits which would be probably more sufficient. 

Intriguing Research for the Thriller for our thriller gaming idea i decided to research into pathological manipulating gaming. this subject really interests me since it links to our VR thriller production. video gaming has seeme to have become a serious addition for players leading to pathological gamming.It has becoema serious harmful adition for players leading to violience and other bad behavior in real life. A bunch of reeraches on this theme decided to to take action and reserch stitistics in singapore using 3,034 students from year 3 to year 8. Studies show that 7.9-9.9% of those in the study could be classified as pathological gamers. This is a saddening thought since they are from such a young age yet gamming has alredy effected them. the researchers also found out that the risk of becoming a pathological gammer is through the amount of time you spend gamming and the person’s social competence and the person’s impulse control. And saddly the one spen...

What is a story board ? A story board helps you visualize a scene / motion picture of how you are planning it too be like. through drawing illustrations it will help the director know what looks good and what doesnt, it will also help you know which direction you want to go.  for example ...The Twilight story board  Origins Story boarding can be be very consuming. Many large budget silent films were story boarded but most of this material has been lost during the reduction of the studio archives during the 1970s.  Georges Méliès was the main base crater of an storyboard.  1956 Diane Disney Miller explains that the first complete storyboards were created for the 1933 Disney short  Three Little Pigs . , the first storyboards at Disney evolved and came from comic-book like "story sketches" created in the 1920s to illustrate concepts for animated cartoon short series such as Plane Crazy and  T Steamboat Willie , and within a f...

Mood boards  In my mood board I have drawn images that replicate the theme and narrative of our thriller. The gun represents the players being shot in the head and at the beginning the 2 players running with rifles enacting a game.The VR headset drawn on someones face replicates the virtual reality game and how they are playing a game but all of a sudden the game seems to be real and whenever they get hurt in the game they get hurt in real life.I put capitals for VR headset because I wanted to emphasize that at the beginning the 2 men running with rifles are just playing a game.i added on my mood board someone dying on the floor top show what the VR game did to them in person no just in the game. I added in the trees to convey the image of a paintball scenery , also the paintball scenery is were our thriller will take place. Also it duplicates the shots of the 2 players running in the woods. I put Game over in Bold because I wan...
