Audience feedback On Thriller

After the screening of our thriller and handing out the questionnaires, the class gave us feedback on what they liked about out thriller and what they thought we could improve. So it it was a mixture of compliments and criticism.

Many of them said that it was confusing at first as they did not know what was going on but that mystery wanted them to keep watching the film to know what is going to happen next. They liked that the thriller did not reveal everything at once. However some said they would have liked it if there was more dialogue included and also if the editing was past faced so that it has some elements of thriller conventions. But over all it was good feedback as were complimented on good cinematography and soundtrack.

Screening

We showed the class our thriller and as you can see there are questionnaires in front of them about the thriller that they have to fill in and tell us what they thought about our film.

NO ESCAPE

Analysis of rough cut

We were advised to create a rough cut of our thriller before the final cut. This was because it would help us a lot regarding the fact that if we got some good shots in the rough cut we could keep that for the final thriller and also correct any errors such as a messed up shot angles. The rough cut enables us to get more established shots. It gave us an opportunity to re-film.

In the rough cut, we had a few establishing shots in the classroom scene but we decided not to use that scene mainly because we did not think it was important to include a classroom scene therefore during re filming we included a outside scene replacing the classroom scene which turned up much better than the previous classroom scene we were going to use.

In the opening of the rough cut, we had a close of a persons phone and it showed a message from their "drug dealer" and then we see that, that person is a student which is effective because a student should not be dealing with drugs whilst they are in school therefore the audience would be intrigued to know what happens next.

Audience feedback on rough cut

Damola Oyekanni
It was interesting but it could be longer. I enjoyed it because it created a suspenseful atmosphere and grabs the viewers attention.


Tyler Forde:

"I liked the rough cut because you can see clearly what is going on and what they're trying to show, i like the way they have used over the shoulder shots and not broken the 180 degree rule. I'd like the see the final outcome of the thriller because so far the rough cut has shown a lot of mystery, grabbing my attention, However to improve they could use a wider variety of shots"

Editing 2

This is the editing i was doing where i was adjusting the sound and adding in titles. Making sure that the diegetic sounds can be heard over the sound track if it needs to. Also working on my ident.

Editing 1

This is the thriller that i was editing for the day . 

This is the process of looking at all the footage during the making of the film  then placing the footage in the right order of what they should be played in. During this process I also cut out what we do not need and are able to move the footage around and change the type of sounds that happen during this stage.

Filming 2

This post is about when we were filming our thriller. We filmed a classroom scene where there was a teacher teaching as you can see from the picture above. The picture below was Emily adjsting the camera and making sure the shot was good. I was standing at the back directing which way the angles were to be shot.

This was us reviewing our storyboard before filming so we know all the shots were in the right place so it will be less time consuming having to change errors whilst filming
