Evaluation Question 1

The conventions of a thriller opening consists of a hero and heroine who establish the disturbance in the equilibrium and try their best to regain peace.  However we do not identify our protagonist so this means that we have gone against the genre convention for our film but this have done for effect as our audience will gain more from the film as it is different and not cliche.

Another convention of a thriller opening which this time we have implicated into our film in the tension raising music. Like seen in mission impossible the thriller spy film,  music accompanies the film to further excite the audience and engage them in the film  

Two more conventions of a thriller opening is fast cuts and mystery.  Throughout the film we choose not to show the faces of our characters through slight close up shots, the identities may be revealed later in the film to add more effect as seen like in watch men with the character Rorchach

PRODUCTION - editing process

Monday, 11th of January, 2016

We took our lesson today to edit the rough cut to an even better version of it. We made a big decision about cutting out one of the spy's scenes and after much thought we decided to cut out Vicky's scene as it was less relevant and less needed. After that we are proud to say that out rough cut progressed:

from rough cut 1 - 04:45 long 

to rough cut 3 - 02:45 long.

The decision we made about cutting out one whole character will influence our sequence in a positive way as it is now shorter in length and it keeps the same storyline and actions. We also managed to put our soundtrack on and some foley sounds, such as the sound of a ring bell in school. The original soundtrack we were going to use sounded too dramatic when we put it on the sequence. However, we managed to find a different one, much better and less dramatic, creating the tension and mystery we wanted.

PRODUCTION - SWOT ANALYSIS

SWOT

Strengths: My blog uses a lot of visual representation of my information for example instead of just presenting it in word form.  i have done this through the use of prezi, scribd and images, this is a positive addition to my blog

Weaknesses: Our choice of Locations for the filming can come across as unclear due to our last minute changes for our open.  also there is a lack of evidence that supports my work on shot lists, layout, drafting and story boarding as well as the organised use of actors, locations, props and costume

Opportunity: I have enjoyed being able to improve my presentation skills and also being able to explore the site blogger and how to present information in different formats, how to embed visuals and use gifs.

Threats: In the early stages of my blog my posts were very word heavy and were poorly balanced with visual information. some of the information that I include in my blogs may not be 100% relevant to the topic.

PRODUCTION - SMART TARGET
