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.

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.
