This group said the editing and camera shots were amazing, there was a good plot, the music was good and they liked the black and white effect. The criticisms they gave were 'the sound was a bit random' and the credits were too fast.

u1-34

This group said the flash from black and white tattoo to when he sees it in reality was good. They also liked the music and suspense. However they felt the credits were to fast.

u1-33

They felt the editing and shot were very good as well as music and acting being realistic. they said 'The flashback scene when Danny is killed is very good', they also liked the story line. They gave no criticisms.

After reading these comments we have a wider knowledge of what we need to do to improve. we will alter the credits as we had planned. we also add more sound to increase suspense.

Rough Cut

Soundtrack and Ident

Last lesson, we finished our soundtrack for our thriller. Jonny made the soundtrack sound dark, by using a prolonged drone throughout. The dark sound sets the tone of the opening, and the viewer is shown the dark thoughts of the main character. Also, by adding in sharp high pitch noises during the flash backs gives them an individual personality, which helps the viewer see that they are from the past. The distorted sounds let the audience know something isn't right which helps built the mystery.

In the same lesson, we also managed to create our ident. We used the production name "Gunshine"and used a recoiling shot gun with "Gunshine" firing out, along with a gunshot noise. The title of our production company is fitting with our film as it represents death and hostility, which the protagonist is a victim of.

Soundtrack to our opening sequence

For our thriller opening, we want to use a soundtrack that will produce a dark atmosphere, as our opening is very atmospheric. A good example is this opening for Minority Report, which uses drones to give an intense and dark mood. This is something we wish to recreate in our production, as the music is an essential part of setting the tone of our opening. Also, by adding re verbs, and distorting the music, we will be able to enhance the feeling of confusion and give the flashbacks a personality.

We chose this type of sound as we believe it will be most effective at putting the audience on edge. This will leave the audience unaware of what to expect, making them concentrate more and will give them the incentive to watch on and try and make an understanding of the plot.
