Evaluation

Thriller Opening: “Ivana”

Overall I think our final product came out okay, Due to the circumstances of Re-shooting and using the smaller camera of which we wasn’t familiar with but I originally thought that it would come out better than it has. To film we used the SONY A1G, ‘Final cut pro’ to edit and ‘Photoshop’ to make our title, In my group there wasn’t any particular person including myself who was familiar with ‘Final cut pro’ which probably effected the editing in the final product and I wasn’t in for the last week to finalise the editing so I wasn’t able to give ideas. In editing our video we used ‘sound track pro’ for some of our Audio for example the breathing and the non-diagetic music.

The things that I was pleased about in our final opening was the circular structure of it, where the night shot was at the beginning and the end of the thriller opening which reminds me of such films as ‘Pans labyrinth’ and It worked well as a thriller opening because we didn’t give to much away of what would happen in the rest of a film. The positive feedback we were given said that the ‘getting ready scene’ was built slowly which showed a good representation of the character Ivana and the car sequence was well shot.

I Think that we used the technology we had to our full potential because we used some manual effects on the video camera for example ‘Night vision’ and we manually adjusted the focus and lighting and we used a camera mounted mic for our sound, we also used technology in editing our Thriller opening and uploading planning work to our blog so we could organise our work better and it could be viewed properly. Equipment that I would have liked to use if I could get the chance again would have been the HD Sony Z1 because I was used to how it works better than the Sony A1G so I could have done more camera effects, I would have also liked a ‘Boom mic’ because It could have picked up more sound in detail which may have been useful for some of our scenes.

Things I would have done differently to enhance my thriller opening would include taking our time over the re-shoot by paying more attention to detail for example when ‘Ivana’ is tied to the bed and ropes are not tied properly as it would have been, And I think it would have been to our advantage if we got more footage there would have been a wider variety of shots to choose from. In addition I would have chosen to have more editing techniques for example wipe transactions to help the continuity of our opening because in some places it was quite jumpy.

I think that the music we used was well suited to what was happening in the scene but it could have been edited differently so that it fades to an appropriate level when there is dialogue, because there was a specific part when the music dipped to low and then came up again to fast.

I think that ‘Ivana’ Worked well as a thriller opening because it gave the audience a taste of the story line and left the audience in suspense, It also had a main protagonist and a villain which does give it a slight genre of horror and some of the props we used for example the knife added tension as well, so It might not be 100% conventional.  I also believe that as a group we worked well in coming up with ideas but In the future I would work with different people that had strengths in different skills.
