Rough Cut Analysis
Rough Cut Analysis
After being given feedback on our thriller rough cut we have seen several things that need to change or add to improve the quality of our film. One person said that our rough cut had too many shots in the conversation which made it hard for the viewer to follow what was being said, they also said that it would have been more effective if there was music in the background. When we do the final piece we will consider all of this feedback and make sure our thriller is easy for people to understand.
For the running scenes we may add more POV shots as our audience found them very effective for the action. We may also have to find away to explain why the friend disappears when the protagonist starts to walk away. We could do this by showing that girl walk away behind her.
I think that our fast paced scenes are very effective as it keeps the audience intrigued, and adds tension. Most of the comments on our thriller said that they really liked the plot of the story even though it was confused, and they also wanted to know more about the characters.

Rough Cut & Rough Cut Feedback
ROUGH CUT
Before we had to complete our Triller Opening, we had to create a rough cut of it which we then posted the video on Youtube. We asked as many people as possible and also asked in the description box for them to leave any feedback on what we could do to improve the Triller Opening.
After 24 hours, we collected the feedback that was left behind. W e decided to definitely take this feedback into consideration and use the help from the feedback to improve our final piece.

In the second lesson for editing our thriller openings we edited the second scene and added sound/music.
When editing the last scene into the movie, we filled in the gaps that we left last time with parts of this scene to represent flash-forwards, this would make a viewer curious and question why those things will happen.We then had to edit in sound/music to give an emphasis on the scenes. We added parallel sound into the sequence so that the music and the action would give the viewer the same feeling. The sound editing went well because we chose good soundtracks that made the scenes more interesting. We could have used more edited sound in our film to make sound transitions more effective.

After filming we had to edit all the scenes that we filmed on the first day of filming which was at the park. 
We edited the first scene and left gaps to add in any other footage that we might need later in editing. I think that the editing went really well as we both worked together to put our ideas into it. I think that if we had more footage we could have made the editing even better. We could have also spent more time paying close attention to the smallest details of editing to make sure all the scenes and cuts flow very well.

FILMING 2
FILMING 2
For our second filming session we filmed the hostage scenes which made most of the flashbacks in our opening thriller sequence. What went well with this filming session is that we had more people to cast as characters in our opening sequence which made all the scenes successful. The setting we used for filming these scenes was a drama room and this was a good thing because in this room we had access to equipment such as lighting and dark covers for a dark background which helped us set the atmosphere of the scenes, in the room we also had access to objects and props to help us make the scenes look more realistic. In the end we didn't use the studio lights we used lighting from our phones, we think this looked interesting because it gave a darker atmosphere than the studio lights and made it seem more eerie. As the photos show, we made a square guide to show the filming and acting space.

The first scenes of our opening thriller sequence was set in Central Park. We decided to shoot these scenes in the morning as only a small fraction of people would be around whilst we were filming which could create the atmosphere of isolation. We also filmed different sections of these scenes in different places in the chosen area. It is also convenient for us as while we were filming our footage, we would not get interrupted. What went well by filming in this sort of setting is that we didn't have any interruptions and it was an easy setting to film in, there was a lot of space for us to do so. What we thought that didn't do so well is that we could have moved to a complete different area and used more types of shots and angles for the scenes we have filmed.
