Advice from teachers on our rough cut

- At the begining the shots need to be more snappy and make the veiwer feel more intense and mysterious.
-The ending was too abrubt.
-There needs to be a significant final shot of something that grabs the audiences attention.

Our 3rd poster

This is the final poster that we made for our film, we think this is the most successful because it looks professional, it contains the actors names at the top, the main focal image makes it clear that it is a crime film, the production team and brand names are included in the same print at the bottom, and the actual film name is clearly seen. We also think that the lighting and tone of the image itself sets the mood of the film.

Our movie editor

We have played around with different types of movie editors and we thought that iMovie was the best. Simply because it seemed simple and easy to use when we played around on it, and it can be accessed via computer or tablet which makes it much easier for us to edit individually or in the group.

Why we chose not to use a script or have dialogue

Whilst we were preparing our thriller opening, we had to decide if we were firstly going to use a script and secondly use any background noises from recording.

This is an example of a thriller opening that has dialogue/a script involved, and in my opinion although the thriller itself was well made and has a good story, the speaking sounded very scripted and unrealistic.

 

This second video is an example of an A grade thriller opening that does not have a script or any speaking involved, this makes the thriller sound much better with just edited sound and music involved, this also allows the editer to add extra music into it to make the video intense, and not keep it simple to allow the dialogue to take place.

 
Overall I think it would be much better if we did not use a script in our thriller as it could sound very bad and unprofessional, also at our location there is a lot of background noises that are very loud and irritating even when we arent filming, for example a train goes by our location every few minutes and makes a lot of noise, and also dog walkers sometimes walk by and the dogs could bark and ruin the scene, so ideally, we would be much better off if we did not include any background noise or speaking as it would allow us to take advantage of any music or sound effects we want to use while not focusing on developing the dialougue.
