Audience feedback

The audience in which i had shown my product to all commented and mentioned how much my product stood out in terms of being a good thriller opening. Furthermore, they said that they liked what had been done with the setting. As well as, my parents mentioned how good it was and that it will be a success. Additionally, my friends mentioned that the mise-en-scene was confusing to understand the scenery as it was bright and colourful.

The above is our fully finished thriller media product that i showed to my friends and family. Both my friends and family commented on it and said how brilliant a thriller film opening it was. I used my mobile phone to show it to my Grandparents it in which they said it was outstanding for an opening of a thriller. As well as, my friends from sixth form mentioned that the scene was mysterious and hard to understand which in this case is good for the audience as it will confuse them.

Designing/making title sequence

When making the title sequence I had my titles fade in and out of the screen. The reason for this is so it gave it a professional look but also give it that thriller feel. The way I did this is by using Adobe Premier Pro, this is also whilst I was editing my video. As I added text, I moved all the text to the bottom left of the screen. Then I used a type of fountain pen tool, this allowed me to put in the fade in and fade out effect to my title sequences.

Designing/Making: Ident

The way I did my studio ident was by downloading a Adobe After Effects template from the internet, what I then went onto doing is by opening the file on Adobe After Effects, what this allowed me to do was edit the way it moves, colours and text. Allowed me to making into my own personal thing. So what I then did was add text "XKILLER PRODUCTION" as the studio ident. Once I did this I exported the file as a video and imported it on to my thriller opening during the editing process.

First Draft

This is what we have currently recorded so far for our opening thriller.

Editing 1

Today we have been editing for our opening thriller scene. During this editing we have been looking at the best possible ways to make this an efficient thriller by trying to add the best features from previous thriller conventions. As well as, we have been showing off our editing techniques by slowing down the speed of some shots due to the fact that where trying to use a range of fast and slow shots by mixing the past of the shots.

First day of filming

In this blog, i will be speaking about our first meeting together as a group. At the start of this day, myself and my colleague Ufuk meet each other in the morning at exactly 10.00am and we got to the shop in which we was using at 11.00am. Then we began recording at around 12.00am we felt that this would be an approximate time to start recording as the lighting was perfect for our mise-en-scene. Also, we tried to get all the shots that we needed. However, there were people distracting the filming due to the fact they where arguing with each other.
