First Draft and Editing



This is our first draft for our thriller. There is still alot more things that need adding, it also needs making a bit longer to match the maximum of 2 minutes and its currently at 1 minute 27 seconds. There is loads more we can incorperate in our thriller and still quite a few bits of footage that we could include to make it look a bit better.
Today we got the majority of editing done to get the final draft in on time, there is still a lot that needs doing but we will get round to that after we have had feedback given to us and aspects in which we could improve. So far i am really happy the way we have worked as a team and managed to get some really good shots due to not wasting time or argueing. I think that a lot of time and effort has gone into this project so we are all hoping with the finishing touches it will get us all the grades we want. Today we have also uploaded our thriller opening to youtube so can show our first draft in our blogs.
For our thriller the effect we wanted to create was a detective based idea at first, which then developed as we began our filming process. We then had a idea of a stalker but we all agreed that it was a bit to predictable so we changed our idea slightly, we decided to go for the detective based idea but with a bit of a twist of all of the characters being followed as you see at the beginning when the camera is panning across all the pictures. Also with this panning bit we have come across a really big problem and will sort it out once we have had feedback, we noticed that all of our filming is in widescreen apart from the panning at the beginning but we are hoping that it will fit in with our detective theme, but if not then we will just have to film it again. We then decided that with all our footage in colour it looked a bit amatuer so i thought it would look a lot better in black and white or greyscale to again fit in with our detective theme.
