Audience feedback on Thriller

After screening our thriller we received lots of positive feedback and constructive criticism from our audience. Many people felt that the film had an interesting idea that managed to draw them into in and said that they would like to watch the rest of the film. However many people felt that the film needed to be faster paced and have more conventional elements of a thriller. Some people also said they would of liked some dialogue in the film.

Screening

In this, we had to show our thriller to a class, to see if they liked our thriller. we gave them a questionnaire to fill out to see if they liked our film and see if there any way we could improve our film. We got many positive feedback, better than our rough cut, which was a good sign

What Could Be Improved?

Better Production Company, Longer, Need Complete Film.

My media colleague analysed our Rough cut. He said it did not make sense at all. However, his suspense did build up as he wanted to know what was going on. He did find it alright. Therefore we have completed our objectives because we wanted to find out if it was engaging or not. Therefore we all we have to do is tell the story very well in the rest of the part of the film. He said if we do this, our thriller would be a really good thriller.

Editing 2

This was the editing of our second idea of our film. This is our editing of our rough cut and this scene was shot in central park and we had to do different camera angles. We added in different types of screen transitions, to make our film to look professional. Also, added in music which fits into our thriller. Furthermore, we added titles and used a colour corrector to perfect our thriller. 

Editing no 1

Today I edited 20 seconds of my film, I had to edit scenes of me running at different angles to make it look like one smooth motion. I also added some effects to make my footage look more cinematic and a soundtrack to improve the atmosphere.

Rough Cut

Second day filming

In this shot Damola is positioning the tripod and Patrick is giving ideas where to place the camera. It was hard filming because of the weather and our hands were so cold paying attention and filming was difficult. Also since were filming in a school so it was difficult as we couldnt get the students into the shot as they are under 16 and since we do not have parental consent we cannot fixture them into the shots.

First day of Filming

First day of Filming

In this picture Patrick is telling Damola and Stefan how to position the Camera so the shot is perfect and that Patrick whole body is in the scene.

Again in this picture Patrick is positioning the tripod so we could get the correct camera shot e.g. close up, extreme shot wide shot.
