Roughcut

This is only 20 seconds long because it is all still on the camera. Titles have been done but need to be put in, music has been shortened to fit the roughcut...we have more...

Soundtrack

This is the middle part of our soundtrack so far and I created it in garage band using pianos, guitars, shakers and strings. The group has decided that we would like the beginning part to start soft but then quickly merge into this track and then get louder towards the end to create a sense of fear. That's how we intend to improve this track.

Se7en.

We are planning to use many aspects of the film 'Se7en' when doing our thriller opening. We like the way there are many short clips of footage as the choppy switching of shots make the piece seem unnerving. You really don't know what the next shot will include and this makes the viewer want to watch more. The static background noise and screeching helps set the mood of the film from the word go along with the type of font used and the transitional effects. It is clear that this film is not meant for the light hearted right from the beginning. It would be great if our film could do this in a similar way.

Continuity Task

This is our continuity task. It shows the different shots and how we can apply them into our own piece. I feel we included all the correct shots and from feedback we found out that all our shots could be clearly seen. I do feel that we could make the close up shot more obvious if we were to do it again. Also we could make the conversation more fluent and realistic and we could make a proper script. This would make the whole piece feel more realistic and it would work better as a piece. In some places the lighting didn't work too well and in the future we should take this into account. Overall, i do feel for a first attempt we worked to our best and this showed in the piece.
