Final version of our thriller opening sequence

Plan for our next two lessons

During the next two lessons, we are going to be working on our sound for our opening sequence and then add it to our clip. We are also going to add the missing voice overs, to the clips. 

We will also combine some of the credits, to make it shorter, due to the length being to long for viewers. 

Response to comments.

Overall, we think the comments made were really good, which has boosted our confidence. especially  the fact that people understood when the dreams were,  which we took a long time over making that effect.

However, we mentioned that we knew we needed to add music, but all the groups still mentioned that we needed to do this.

Many of the groups mentioned that our credits at the start were too long, however we cannot add them to our clips due to the white background. however, to overcome the length, we are going to attach some of the credits together, e.g. Directed by, Lauren Day will be on the same page, instead of being separate.

We all thought the flashbacks and the dreams worked really well because tit was quite easy to follow. We don't think there was enough music to the opening sequence which could of helped to make it more interesting. The props that were used were good and also need to have a bit more continuity to the piece. The camera shots were very good and also the transitions that were used worked very well and linked everything together.

Rough cut For Thriller Film feedback

• Good camera angles
• Music cuts off after credits
• Fade from shots which is good. Looks professional.
• Credits could be laid over the top of film. 
• More sound effects and speech. 
• narrative is unclear.

S1-66

- Dream sequence had a good use of effects, so the audience know that it was a dream.
- Good framing of the shots.
- Good story.

- Credits at the beginning took too long, either space them out, or overlay them on top of the clips.
- Some of the background sound was too loud.
- Some of the dialogue was too quiet.

comments on the video

Credits are all at the very beginning, and continue for quite a while. If something was going on in the background they would become more effective.
Music was good at the beginning as it set the tone of the scene. However, more music could be added later during the actual film.
Good use of camera shots, matches the thriller convention.
Props were appropriately used, such as the syringe, although it was a bit unclear as to whether the girl being dreamed about has killed herself, or has been killed.
Good effects when the shots flick to black and white, such as the transitions. And slight blur on the screen.

Rough Cut For Thriller Film

We know that we have to finish the soundtrack.
We know that we have to add the voice overs on phone calls of the person on the other end.
