Evaluation - Part 7

Looking back at your Preliminary Task, what do you feel you have learnt in the from it to the product ? 
I feel that we have learnt a vast amount from our preliminary task. We learnt about the aspects of filming such as mise-en-scene, camera angles, editing and sound. We have improved tremendously since our preliminary task as we used that to aid our thriller, and we are extremely satisfied and proud of our final outcome of the thriller opening. Throughout the process of filming we had to make vital decisions concerning the storyline of the thriller, as the storyline we first planned had flaws in it, and we encountered certain circumstances which would not allow us to be able to complete the thriller to that storyline, things such as two of the members of our group leaving the group which meant we did not have the correct amount of people needed. Therefore we have made modifications and this final outcome is not directly following the storyboard; however we feel we have made the correct decisions and made our thriller as good as it could possibly be, we learnt from our preliminary task that when faced with complications we need to act quickly and intelligently to avert the problems in the best way. We compared our new thriller to our old preliminary task and discovered that in the filming process we used a wider variety of techniques, which we feel have improved our final outcome. We implemented much more shots, camera angles, movement and edits than previously. In conclusion, I strongly feel that we have come a long way since our preliminary task and we have made a large improvement. We have improved the quality of our work and we have also improved our creativity when producing the storyline. Due to our experience gained from the preliminary task we knew how to cater to the audience and make our product into something we know they would want to see.

Research Into Thriller Opening - Panic Room

The opening credits are introduced before we see any characters, and are accompanied by shots of buildings. There is the sound of a clock ticking, indicating that time is an aspect of the film and this also builds suspense and makes the audience wonder what is to happen next. There is a sound bridge in the opening as we hear the character's voice before we see her; the sound links the two shots together. The final shot we see is of the first character.

Research Into Thriller openings - Se7en

The opening of this film simply shows the characters hands performing activities but it is able to create an atmosphere for the audience. The opening also shows the character doing quite mischievous things, which indicates the fact that the film is a Thriller.
