Preliminary Film (Video & Evaluation)
Preliminary Film
In our preliminary film, we had to keep the continuity editing going on, so we don't see any mistakes or differences on costumes, also we used different types of shot.
We used eye-line match so we see the character looking at something off screen and then we cut to a shot of what they are looking at.
We used match on action on the film we see the character open the door in one shot and in the next shot we see him walk through so the action is followed on.
In our film we used shot reverse shot to show that there's a conversation involving, also we used the 180 degree rule to show the two characters are in the same scene and have the same left/right relationship to each other, because if the camera is in a different angle it will look as if the person has moved and this is called crossing the line.
Continuity Editing is used to retains a sense of realistic chronology and generates the feeling that time is moving forward instead of backwards.

Evaluation Question 7
Evaluation Question 7
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the product?
The comparison to my preliminary and my thriller now is that my preliminary was a bit dodgy because of our camera movement, when we filmed we didn't move it fluidly, so when we edited our film the shots looked shaky and unprofessional. However our thriller now looks professional and the camera looks steady and doesn't look shaky or handheld, so you can see quite a major difference in the film and the camera movement. Also when we first started film we mostly used the basic camera shots such as pans and we still used this shot in our Thriller to show the axis of the detectives room. In our thriller we used close ups, long shots, two shot to establish the story and characters. We also used specific shots in our film to highlight and show certain props or elements in the film to make the emphasis and show the power or what it has to do with the narrative, for example when the camera pans over the photos and documents, showing what the detective has to work through and that the investigation is carrying on to find the terrorists. I think our knowledge of camera angles have improved majorly from our preliminary, when our camera angles weren't that satisfactory.
Quality of image in our Thriller between the Preliminary is different because in the thriller the picture quality is in high definition, while the preliminary were all filmed in low resolution in my opinion looking like it was filmed on a mobile phone, in our Thriller film we deliberately used low key lighting to give a serious effect of a crime investigation. Also we made sure the composition in the Thriller didn't move around and we made sure we didn't break the 180 degree rule.
When we did our preliminary we did our sound exercise to help use varieties of sound in our film from, sound bridges, on/off screen sound, diegetic and non diegetic. This exercise helped us for our Thriller film, when we used on/off screen sound, for example the phone call, which we hear, and we use soundtrack to build the suspense in the film and make it film like a Thriller.
In our Thriller and Preliminary we made sure the continuity of the film was always the same so we made sure the costume and props in our film was distinctively the same, so if we ever made the continuity wrong we would redo the film to make the continuity the same and not to ruin the film. Also in our film, when we did the editing, we made sure we used match on action, and made sure the composition was the same.

For example in this scene in one of our preliminary film we used match on action when Andrew comes through the door, and so we used continuity also, because nothing has changed, we did the same in our Thriller we made sure nothing changed, also we made sure we didn't break the 180 degree rule then our film look weird and confuse the audience because they will think how did that person move one end to another.

Evaluation Question 5
How did you attract/address your audience?
My thriller holds the audiences attention on the film, because of our mysterious beginning in the opening of the deal happening, which makes the audience eager to carry on watching the film, because they would want to find out what's happening and find out what's in the bag. Also I think the audience would carry on watching the film, because of the use of thriller recipes we've used, especially, when we give a cliffhanger at the end of our opening, making the audience curious for them to carry on watching and intrigued what's going to happen next.
In my audience feedback a lot of people liked the cliffhanger at the end and they thought it as creative like in my other evaluation question I've given a screenshot of the comments from peers and family, on their views on the film and what they enjoyed in the film they found the use of thriller devices reall good, and that they really wanted to carry on watching the film

Who would be the audience for your media product?
The Audience for our media product I would say would be Mostly Teenagers aged round 15 and over because they will mostly watch it because our cast are teens and the narrative of the story is a big issue I guess, and i think that's the ideal age in terms of our cast and teens and older people are interested on narratives like our film, which is a big issue in our world also in our film we used a lot of thriller devices in our film to make our film close as a thriller film.
Both Male & Female working class people will probably watch the film it would appeal to them so that they can understand the issue of terrorism and that the stereotype aren't always the same, also teens will like the film because it has the thriller devices they had told us in the audience research and because in the audience research mostly it was teens who had contributed in the survey and video, they told was what thriller devices the liked, so we took their feedback and added into our film, for example the survey said cliffhangers was popular with everyone nearly, so in our film we used cliffhanger at the end, to make mysterious ending.
