Final Film

Here is our final Thriller opening, called 'Independent Law'.

Blackouts and Gradual Sound

During our thriller opening we used blackouts to create tension and build suspense for the audience. We used one when Shelby walked into the living room and as she switched on the light we made the film black out and combined it with a scream off youtube.

Editing

Today we finished editing and reviewed our footage to make sure we hadn't missed anything out. However we had a continuity editing problem. One thing I  noticed was that in one shot, you see Shelby walking over to Drilon from his point of view, but in a later shot shortly after, you see her walking again; making it look like she had walked back on her self. To fix this problem, we cut the second shot so it looks like she am only just coming over to him and it flows much better.

Editing

 In lesson and any spare time we have, Shelby, Emma and I have been adding the final touches to editing our thriller opening. To emphasise the shot of Shelby killing Drilon, we reversed the action and then replayed it the correct way- however after watching it we decided to cut this out. Also to emphasise the sound of the iron pole hitting the floor, we stopped the music just as it was hitting the floor so you can hear the clinking and echos of when it falls.

Thriller Update

This week during lessons  Shelby, Emma and I have been inserting titles into our thriller opening. We included titles such as the names of the actors, director, producer ect. 

Editing

After we have finished filming every thing, we began to upload all our footage and started editing our work. Watching majority of it back, we noticed that the camera took away most of the light in the darker scenes, so as we put a black and white filter on some of the shots. We also blacked out some of the footage due to the acting and We didn't have enough time to film again  

Titles, Idents, and Imagination

After much thought and consideration, we have decided to call our thriller 'Independent Law' as the title reflects what the film is about- a rogue police officer who takes the law into her own hands to avenge the murder of her husband.


We also took some time to think about what we were going to call our production company. After much use of imagination, we came up with 'SEAscape Productions'. SEA being Shelby,Emma, Ahmed. We all thought that  SEAscape would be a nice name, and Emma thought that when creating the ident, we could incorporate blue into it to reflect the blue of the sea.
