Evaluation

Overall I think I done a good job in managing to create a thriller for teenagers aged 12/15 and above. I aimed to create a psychological thriller and believe I was able to capture the relevant aspects which enabled it conform to such a genre. I created a piece which was ambiguous on so many levels that, the audience should want to know what is going on, or what is about to happen.

Through a workshop class of sound, I was shown a website that allowed anyone to download anti copyrighted music, which just minimal conditions. Within the same class I learnt that adding a range of subtle or unsubtle tone to a piece at one time can create different feelings within the audience, so I tried this and ended up using between 7- 12 tracks in the piece, but some are extremely subtle and other are diagetic sounds that the audience generally expected to hear but was caught ‘clean’ by the camera microphone.

The more I watch the film the more I notice and want to take out, change, or incorporate within it: I notice a continuity mistake; on the corner of the sink table, there is a drink bottle and then later in the scene there is a tissue roll. I would like to change a shot of when the two characters initially are revealed to be standing next to each other to a steadier shot seeing as it was a bit wobbly before. I would like to incorporate a voice from the opinion of the antagonist, to give a different sense of dynamics within the two characters
In conclusion, working on the opening of a two minute film, has been extremely stress, but also a very rewarding experience, to witness the film finished close to your own personal satisfaction. However I am proud of the work I have produced and glad I have learnt vital lessons at an early stage to I can only improve. Plus the new techniques I have learnt, has also inspired me to complete an even better product next time.
