Before we started our filming, we had to thinkabout which other movies fit the same genrewe are trying to portray and I picked threemovies I wanted to analyse which were; Phonebooth, American Gangster and Lucky numberSlevin and also I ended up analysing Firewalland Face Off aswell.
The reason why I chose Phone booth was
because of the tension produced was what wewanted to use and we wanted to challenge andmake the tension in our film a lot moremenacing. We tried to do this by making themusic more repetitive. At first we were a bitreluctant to do it but in the end it sort of fit intothe genre.
The ideas we got from American gangster wereabout the grittiness and the lighting of the filmat different occasions.
Most of our ideas came from Firewall and oneof the big factors was the credits. We took thegreen writing idea from it but in the actualmovie there is a non-diegetic sound of thecredits being typed but in ours we made thecredits slowly cross each other.
In Face Off we liked the opening when thesniper was slowly stalking John Travoltawithout him knowing just like what we did in our
film opening.back

To fit the conventions of a thriller we
had to think about what actually makes
a thriller.
At first our film looked a bit too light for
a thriller so we darkened some of thefilming to make it more gritty to look at.
Near the end of the film we wanted to
make an effect were a picture comes
up of a sniper scope comes up just
before hes shot but you could tell that
it was computerized which we thought
maybe we should just leave it and find
a way to notify the audience that a
killing is about to happen.

In our film we show a young
black male being shot and
this to me represents the
black community as being
quite targeted and
endangered.
Exploring possible outcomes, I
think that maybe the young
man is not the victim and
could have been the villain
and the film could have beenworking backwards to why
he got shot, this could be
representing a good ending
for someone else or a victory
etc.

If our film were to be distributed,it would most likely bedistributed by MetrodomeFilms, because we would notexpect it to be noticed by big
distributors like UniversalVivendi and Twentiethcentury Fox and so on. If wehad more and betterequipment to use in our filmsI think that our film wouldhave more varied selection
to distributors.For example, Shifty is also
distributed by Metrodomeand I think that if they werenot found by Metrodome.

As a team we did not really have aspecific target audience to aim atbecause we felt that it directed to alot of people because there was notmuch you could point out and saythat this is directed at this group of
people, and this at this group ofpeople etc.
I think that normal teenagers wouldenjoy this because it has that feel ofindependence which kids like tohave and in the movie it shows theactor as being quite relaxed and then
the surprise of being shot is whatappeals to them the most becauseas a teen I know that we like to bethrilled and to be knocked on theedge of our seats and thats what weattempted to do with our film.
I think that it was more to the peoplefrom 12-30 because you have to thinkabout all the different things that mightattract or make the audience not watch it.
I think that the elderly viewers would notwatch it because of the music and how itwould most likely hurt their ears notbecause its bad but because of thevolume and the pitch and mostimportantly the repetition of it. People
younger can withstand it more becausetheir ears can adjust better.

A lot of the technology we used with our
video is quite high tech and one of the ones
I used to make the music was Logic. I
thought that it was really good how you can
merge sound and action without having too
much fuss. However it did take us a while
to get the music on to the editing machine
because I had to convert it to mp3 and it
ended up deleting a part of the music but
still turned out ok. Next page

I learnt that this
technology has been
progressing and more
people buy different jvc
products now likeearphones etc.
With the researched I've had lhave learnt that with these
cameras, you wont have to do too
much editing because it helps youbut the editing would have to be
better quality. I also learnt the
difference with the zoom because
some of the school ones can be
static and with the newer cameras
they are more loose and relaxedwhich produces better quality.

I have learnt a lot about the editing machines in the past 4 to 5months.
Ive learnt how to do slow motions and when the right time is to dothem. One of the hard things about machinery like this is that ifyou mess up once then you have to go through a long process toget it back.
When I was editing one part of the film, It didnt go with what I hadplanned and as a result I ended up having to move all of thefootage and render it again until it got back to the way it was.
The first bits of editing can seem all right until you get further into
your task that you realize the difficulty put into the editingmachinery.
One of the problems we had with the editing was the music, wethought that it would be a lot easier to get the music in but incertainly took a lot longer than planned.

4 to 5 months ago, we did a preliminary
task of having to film someone walking
through a door. We had to demonstrate
continuity editing meaning that we
weren't aloud to make any changes to
it or edit it in any way.
Before I used to not know a lot about the
camera shots and I used to be very
distracted and then I learnt a lot on this to
do with sort of camera shots you need for
a thriller and now I am getting really good
at pointing out shots and makingjudgements on shot types came in handy
for our video.
One of the main types of editing that I
learnt that most editors use for thrillers
was continuity editing. We researched it
and before when we used to dopreliminaries I would have never really
thought of doing continuity but after
learning more on the editing techniques it
worked out well for me.I have learnt a whole lot about the
filming in the past months and I think I
could do this in the long run if I were to
have more equipment and more money. home
