audience feedback

Our video as been posted on youtube and so far only one comment has been posted this said:

Well done with those sound effects, they did certainly attract my attention and then kept it! and it definitely fits the conventional style of music that is seen in Thrillers
I like the first few shots from inside the church/cathedral, and the slow pan, it rather effective, however the second could have been a little slower, although I don't know what footage you were working with?
And the narrative is much more developed than when it was before, making it much easier to understand
this is where the comment is from- youtube where we uploaded our clip:

This is from a viewer who has sat with me and watched the opening and after i have asked them questions and these where there thoughts.

What do you like about our thriller?

I like how there are voices in the background as it makes it mysterious, the acting is good and the screaming is very effective. When the knife gets plunged into the tree it is very frightening, the music connects well with the thriller genre.

What do you dislike about it?

I don’t like the random flashes of imagery as it confuses me I also think the story line could have been more interesting and create tension and craziness there should have been a action scene.

Would this meet your expectations of a thriller?

Yes, but I would expect more action.

Does it look like the thriller genre?

Yes because of props such as the knife.

What could be improved?

The acting from the bride could have been more crazy and also more crazy scenes.

Story board for thriller

we had no script this was because we didnt require any talking only a scream in the end we did use speech thi was to make the narrative clearer.to do this we did voice overs and used jacob to say two things "shes crazy" and "i cant do this".

Whilst doing our pitches we were recorded to show our ideas i think that the audience thought our ideas were different to other groups as some groups ideas were similar to one another and ours were very different. I think our pitch went very well as we got all the detail our about each slide and about 3 pitches saying about the classification and also the representation of the charcters.
i feel that we spoke clearly and people understood our ideas clear also graphs were shown to help the veiwers to understand where we got our ideas from.

Audience research!

As we handed out a questionnaire of what people expected by a thriller we had to used the ideas that the audience presented and expected to create a good thriller and as our ideas were already created it was hard to change ideas to work around the audience but action was most popular in a thriller but as our thriller wasn't a thriller it would have been very had to change but the second most popular genre was romance witch was Incorporated into out work because there was a wedding which creates romance and also our setting was in a wood and a church which also involved a graveyard this was another popular setting in a thriller that the audience would like to see.
This helped us to provide the viewers with a expected thriller as we tried our best to provide the audience with what they wanted and this also helped our ideas to be as good as possible and maybe to avoid ideas that have been done or are too obvious.

prelim task good points and bad points

during our prelim task during this the only problem filming our prelim task was getting used to the camera which is why we shot a lot of material and also we weren't used to being in front of the camera so it took a lot of time to film each scene as we had to be serious, another thing was having to stick to the 180 degree rule as it was easy to forget about it so we had to keep checking that we had done this.
Our strengths were that we editied the movie together quite fast and once we got into the hang of it, it made it a lot esier for us.
By doing this task i learnt how to use a camera and how generally film in the correct way and also how to edit a film all together and how to use an apple mac computer.
