Boot Camp: Psychological Thriller

Boot Camp is a 2007 psychological suspense thriller feature film written by Agatha Dominik and  John Fox and directed by Christian Dugay.  This film is the story of a group of unruly teenagers whose parents send them to a rehabilitation boot camp to turn them around. The camp collects each child individually, then delivers them to the boot camp facility on a remote island in Fiji. There are no walls to stop the teenagers from leaving, but escape is impractical due to the surrounding sea. On arriving at the camp, the teenagers are forced to wear cuffs with sensors around their ankles — if they attempt to escape, security will be alerted.

The reason why i chose these two psychological thrillers is because most of the cast are Girls and some are boys. as you can see our film shows Kausers scene first because we wanted her to be introduced in the beginning of the film.

Taxi Driver 

New York City cab driver Travis Bickle constantly, almost obsessively, reflects on the ugly corruption of life around him, and becomes increasingly disturbed over his own loneliness and alienation. In nearly every phase of his life, Bickle remains a complete outsider, failing to make emotional contact with anyone. 

Se7en  

This thriller portrays the exploits of a deranged serial-killer. His twisted agenda involves choosing seven victims who represent egregious examples of transgressions of each of the Seven Deadly Sins. He then views himself as akin to the Sword of God, handing out horrific punishment to these sinners. 

American Psycho

Trick Bateman is handsome, well educated and intelligent. He is twenty-seven and living his own American dream. He works by day on Wall Street, earning a fortune to complement the one he was born with. At night he descends into madness, as he experiments with fear and violence.

Lostsouls - experimenting with the shots.

This was a experiment of our 2 minute sequence, we did this in order to understand how the shots and the scenes were going to come together. it was also done in order for us to see how the editing was going to be.

feedback - The editing was difficult as we did not do the shots that would have been appropriate for our sequence. What was needed were different angles shots which would improve the 2 minute sequence as capturing the image from different angles means different representations of the character which would make the 2 minute sequence better than it is. Instead we did long consistent shots which did not change angles, this meant that the 2 minute sequence looked unsuitable and unprofessional.

The sound was also not inserted into the sequence, the sound was non-digetic. Adding the sound would have meant that the sequence would have been more professional and the audience would have reacted with it very well. The sound would have added suspense and tension and made it more emotional.

What went well in the shooting was the actress acted the character very well and she made it the character very realistic, she took the character and made it her own. Having a good actress will make the whole sequence a lot better.

The were a few hazards in the room, the room was quite small which meant that there was not a lot of space to move around and do the shooting, there were quite a lot of objects on the floor, although this was for the scene it was dangerous because the camera controller could have tripped over and broke the camera or hurt themselves. The outside scene meant that we had to make sure that it was not raining so the camera does not get damaged as we were outside for a long time.
