Evaluation of the thriller task question 7

Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the main task?

    

This shot is used previously to the one shown bellow and has a different aspect ratio due to us cropping it.

Example of the vertical crop we used in our preliminary task to hide the camera which we accidently left in the shot.

For this question I used Cacoo which is a website that allows me to create mind maps and flow charts and I thought that a mind map is most suitable for the response to this question.  Link to page

Evaluation of thriller task question 4 & 5

Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?
Question 5: How did you address or attract your audience?
In the following video we answered both question 4 & 5 by talking in front of a green screen and editing it over our final piece and we removed the green screen around us by the Chroma key.

A demo soundtrack to our thriller

This is a demo to our soundtrack we might use in the thriller , it was created by max and he listened to se7en and silence of the lambs for inspiration.

The company logo

These 2 logos gave us the inspiration for our final logo.

The Hammer logo gave us the idea of how significant the font is compared to the background so we tried to replicate this in ours. 

 The Legendary logo gave us the idea of a eerie look and a rustic effect which made us decide a lonely tree and that give us the mysterious and eerie effect and shows what type of thrillers we make.

Character profiles

The character profiles of the murderer,the witness and the victim in our thriller task.

This is a sketch I drew of the characters in the task.

Thriller Opening Bloopers/Development

 

Link to the video

 

When filming the scene of Brad getting brutally murdered by the ice (glass), Max Br the murderer missed brad completely.

 

This photo shows the mise-en-scene between the victim and the murderer, victim all blue and more lightly coloured and looks quite innocent ,whereas the murderer is in all black with a white mysterious mask to hide the face.

Before I Go To Sleep (Textual analysis)

In this Prezi we did a textual analysis on Before I go to sleep which is about a women who had a serious accident which makes her forget everything after a day and this relates to our thriller piece as the main character in ours suffers with a mental condition. We could use some of the ideas from this film to have the same effect towards our opening as they express the mental condition well in the first 5 minutes of before I go to sleep .

The Pitch

 

We had to do a pitch to sell our idea of the thriller "Undefined Reality"

and these are the ideas we had to say to get across the main key points of our thriller.


This is the slide which was shown during the pitch.
