Thriller Opening Revisions

We spent a few lessons with a few members of our class and had a little brief discussion with our teachers about our thriller opening to see what they thought and from this we came up with these revisions. They loved our titles as they were barely noticeable and fitted the narrative. They also liked our angles. We need to edit the section where Paige walks down the road as at the moment you can see she stops before walking which looks unnatural. This will also give it a more professional appearance. Additionally for this section we need to cut in sooner. We need to make the sound more dramatic when the van passes Paige to add emphasis to this moment and make it more significant. Alternatively, keep the music the same for that bit and then change it for the rest of the opening. We need to re film the section with the remote as at the moment it looks very unnatural and makes it humorous which is inappropriate for the mood and the genre of the opening.

Analysis of the Second Half of our Storyboards

Image
For our storyboards analysis we have all chosen a shot to taken. I have chosen the last shot of each storyboard to analyse. We chose to make shot 4 a long shot which is panning because we wanted a clear view of around the room and how everyone is positioned.

Shot 7 was a shot reverse shot because it is at the end of a conversation. It shows Poppy inviting in the investigator and portrays the development into the investigation as to where April has gone.

Additionally, the use of music in the background shows the formality of the situation. Shot 10 is an extreme close up of Poppy's lips. We chose to do this as part of series of shots to show the effect April's ...

Key Moments of Suspense from the Sixth Sense- 3

This is the clip just after Cole has told his Mum he sees dead people. It is the build up to her getting upset. Editing Slow pace editing is used to build suspense because it shows the effect of the news on Cole's mother and how she is absorbing it. It also shows building suspense because it creates the impression there will be some external reaction coming up. Additionally, the use of continuity editing helps to show each character's reaction to what the opposite character is saying. Sound The only sound that features in this clip is diegetic sound. The diegetic sound is the dialogue of Cole and Cole's mother. Cole's mother's dialogue builds suspense because she has long breaks between each time she speaks. This shows her shock. Cole's dialogue is spoken in a slightly whisper and quick tone. This shows his anticipation of his mother's external reaction. Camera Angles The use of close up shots for the entirety of the clip keeps it very familiar so t...
