Rough Cut Thriller Project Feedback

The feedback my group recieved about our projetc was mainl possitive,helpful and construvtive.

Sound -
The main fault with our opening title sequence was that it didn't have any sound this is because we didn't upload it in time. We had finished on another computer but failed to transfer it.

Editing -
The comments we received on an editing prospective is that i was good and obviously had effort put into but lacked in quality due to no sound.

Camerwork -
We did have a range of shots from extreme close up to panning of the radiator which had a good affect.

Mies - En - Scene -
The feedback we got back saying that the use of effects such as colour corrector was really good and really portrayed the genre of the film. The way we sped up the footage was also another useful affect to add tension. Also the costumes used for example the one black hoody may of portrayed evil whereas the other character was dressed in white shows vulnerability.

I agree with all the comments made and we need to be able to upload and put the sound diagetic and soundtrack will make the opening title sequence much better.
The final project is meant to finished and uploaded in two weeks the feedback my group and i have received have shown us that we need to add final touches in editing to make it more fluent and definitely add the sound.
I believe that the feedback was mostly positive and told us that we did display most of the main thriller conventions and can easily show the audience the genre of the film. I don't think we need to make any major changes to our project other than adding the sound.
In conclusion i can tell that the feedback was positive and we made a good project and we need to add sound into the final project.

Practice Thriller Opening

We created a short thriller opening to try and gain skills in all areas of filming including; Director/Editor, Music Soundtrack, Actor & Camera operator.



The objective of this short thriller opening is for everyone to be assigned different roles to get better knowledge of all aspects and technology in filming. I was given the major part - Director/ editor this was different to what i normally prefer to do but it has helped me understand how to work together as a group and come up with the best ideas. We where given one and a half lessons to create a film and edit it also make and add a soundtrack. We all helped each other as group.

Student Thriller Analysis

Fallacy Analysis

Its continuous and montage editing. It consists of a narrative when a scared persona is running through a forest in the day from masked man with a butchers knife the cutting from the chase scene to random scenes builds and longs out the tension.

When the charters meet the suspense is at its highest the suspense is caused by the not knowing of what is going to happen and the rhythmic music that creates intensity then has a cliffhanger ending.

Catch Me if you Can Opening Title Sequence

Catch Me If You Can Title Sequence

The action stems from the titles. It tells its own little story and sort of describes the journey the man goes through in the actual film.

At the beginning it introduces the main titles including the producers and directors, when it comes to introduce Leonardo dicaprio it has a little airport sign with a golden arrow pointing towards the little animated character showing the audience that this character in the title sequence is Leonardo DiCaprio they did the same for the second main character Tom Hanks.

The music also plays a big part in the title sequence as it creates suspense and combines with the action of the animated title sequence.

After they have introduced the main characters you see Leonardo’s character rush up some steps (1), and tom hank’s character try to follow (2), but the step disappears then this black line appears (3), and then becomes the title of the film (4). Then displaying the full title. (5)

The colours used also add to the tension and suspense of the chase scenes in the title sequence when the colours become dark and intense the music becomes faster and the animated chase becomes more dramatic and the titles are still creating the background and main features of the animation. The titles also create transitions from one room to the next or from one clip to another.

In this thrillers title sequence the titles play a huge part in creating suspense and basically make the animated set whilst introducing all the characters therefore I believe that titles that are combined with the action like this make the film better as it creates tension.

Soundtrack

This is our practice soundtrack.


This is a soundtrack we made in garage band. We used beats and sound in time with the film. We changed the style of the music to the emotions of the characters. We would have liked more time to make it better.

S2-60 Development Analysis

The first flaw of this thriller opening sequence is that is doesn't attract the audience and isn't thrilling. Also the center piece doesn't make sense as that pictures from a digital camera wouldn't need to be developed. The whole sequence was short and not thrilling the use of classic thriller conventions was little and the music didn't fit the genre.

Summary of why Thrillers Thrive

Audiences of all ages enjoy films that excite them. Excitement can come from a range of different films for example - children enjoy light airy films with happy endings and important Morales to the storyline and they will gain excitement out of that, whereas the older audiences prefer films that thrill you and films can thrill you in many different ways.

People like to watch movies where characters experience slightly unrealistic lifestyles we like to experience a life that we don't experience firsthand ourselves these films that give you a thrill consist of emotional disturbances which we call thrills. We experience these thrills through cinema artificially.

Every Audience will experience the same thrills in a film. A well made movie will deliver thrills that a person cannot realistically experience physically or firsthand.

A Thriller must be wholehearted, the more exciting the better. An authentic thriller will have the main thriller conventions such as subtle violence, suspense and realistic threats. The Classic thriller should excite and thrill the Audience.
