Evaluating our Thriller Film so far



Jack: 
So far I have edited and colour graded our film. I have sequenced all of the clips to ensure they show a clear narrative and the film makes sense. We have not used any jump cuts and have used techniques like match on action. I would give my work a high level 3.

Leah:
I have been in charge of the sound. This means I have been collecting the sound clips together to play in the background, to enhance what is happening onscreen. So far, I have collected 4 sound clips from YouTube. I would give my work a level 2 as I have not yet experimented with the volume, pitch or length. However, I have managed to layer at least 2 sound clips together. I think that the soundtrack matches the video and matches the suspense of the storyline and climax.

  1. Some really well framed and tight shots here, with a strong location and well incorporated titles. A lot of potential for excellence.

    To improve:
    1. Ensure your sound mix is completed and build the ambience. You need to focus on using the sound to establish she is in fact '42' an agent rather than the typical female victim or femme fatale in a thriller.
    2. Cut the leaving the house shot earlier so the window is obscured as much as possible by her silhouette
    3. Shoot extra material to establish she is an agent - have her hide a gun in her stockings or purse etc, use close ups on things around her room to establish she is '42'. Shouldnt she get a message or something with the guys face to establish that this guy has been captured - otherwise it seems like hes in her cellar?
    4. Maybe have a male agent in suit or sunglasses drop an envelope through her door or call her or text her or something.
