Peer Feedback of Final Product.

1) The group liked our use of close ups which added a sense of intrigue to our production. Also the shots through the tree's concealing Subject 16's identity was liked.

2) Comments about sound were that the use of just diegetic dialogue was effective, along with the white noise that match the on-screen static, they thought it was original.

3) The use of costume was mentioned, due to its effect, conveying authority, lighting was also mentioned as an emphatic benefit to our project. The use of a phone call added mystery and worked well, a did the variety of locations.

4) The use of quick cuts was mentioned to create the sense of urgency. The use of monochrome and colour correction to identify different people and actions was good.

5) The resounding criticism was the lack of title. But, it was also mentioned that it could of been more interesting

Uploading Subject 16 to Youtube and Blogger.

First we had to convert our Final Cut sequence into a Quicktime movie, we did this by going to File > Export > Quicktime Conversion, we then had to change the settings - like changing it to MPEG-4 video, frame rate 15, quality medium, then click OK.  We then had to change the dimensions to 640 x 360.   We then had to change the the sound to AAC rate 48 kHz and set the quality to better we then had to make sure we clicked the box for internet streaming.  We then clicked OK, and saved our sequence.

We then could upload our sequence to YouTube.  This was simple because we signed into Jacks account and simply uploaded it.  Then we copied the embed code and pasted into our blog.

Evaluating The Editing Process x')

We have now completed the editing part of our project. We started by getting the clips we needed for our opening sequence and placing them within the correct order, we then added the white noise sound and clip to make the sequence more dramatic. We then added the transitions of fade ins and fade outs to make the sequence flow better, we took the amazing wisdom from Amar and colour corrected the scene involving the girl (Subject 16). We made a great soundtrack within garage band however we decided it would be better if we did not use it because it wasn't fitting for our genre of political thriller. 

At the beginning of our sequence we added credits to display our roles within the project, we added them during the white noise clips as this was most fitting for are project.

Subject 16 - Our Thriller

Removal of our beautiful soundtrack

We had originally created a soundtrack in garage band to be included within our production however we decided the soundtrack would not be necessary in our opening sequence and so we decided not to use it.
It wasn't fitting to our genre of political thriller because creating a soundtrack in garage band and making it sound suitable for a thriller project is extremely difficult as the majority of sounds on garage band are too upbeat and unfitting to the genre.


We hope this inconvenience has not ruined your viewing pleasure of our production, thank you for reading xx

Credits

We added credits during the lesson of the 10th of march 2011, the credits consisted of the names of all the beautiful people within our production group and what they worked on during this process.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post xx

The amaaaaaaaazing additions made to our production this mighty fine day by myself and mistress holly

During this lesson on the 10th March 2011, we added our production logo onto the front of our opening sequence. We also realized that the white noise sound was too loud to the rest of the production, so we reduced the noise sound a tiny bit but not so much that it looses its dramatic effect that is needed within our political thriller. After finishing this, we edited the colour layers to make the scene with the girl walking more iconic.

Thank you for reading xx

Role and Influence..

Having made a significant influence on the editing process i have decided to create a blog in the role i have played so far.

My primary role in our group has been director of editing at this stage in the project. As our group did the rough editing, sequencing our material and letting their skills develop as editors, i watched and assissted them where needed, though little guidance was needed after the basic skills were established, just help with sequencing the material was needed.

Now that basic editing has finished i have stepped in to help refine and dvelop our product into a professional looking piece, with the guidance recieved from Amar and utilising his thoughts and suggestions to help our product gain full marks. This has included colour corrections, changing the saturations of shots and adjusting brightness and contrast to create a stylised piece that will define our product. There is still titles and sound to finish, however as of today (9/03/11) the sound should be finished and will be ready to add to our product tomorrow.
 

Editing - What we have learned

The team have gained vast knowledge of particular editing areas which I will now discuss.

• We learned to add fade ins/outs to our opening sequence.

• We learned how to drag the clips of footage to the bar along the bottom therefore adding the selected clip to our sequence. 

• Another thing we learned to do is add a soundtrack from garage band and convert it to final cut pro.

• We learned to edit the colours within our sequence as Amar told us that this would be an improvement and so we took his advice and changed the colour pallet to make the colours more bold and have more layers.

• Our production has taught us to use finalcut pro in detail, and we have also learnt how to mix audio with visual, along with a lot of other things in this programme. 

• We also learned how imporant various things are in the production of this format of media. things such as continuity, getting sound accurate to the timing of the visual clips - things like that.

Thank you for reading xx

Jack...

... has JAZZEH shooes, nuff said

Amar's usefull feedback on our editing within our opening sequence production.

Amar came over to our group and gave us useful feedback from our opening sequence which we will now mention.

• Amar in his ultimate wisdom has decided that the characters within our opening sequence are difficult to perceive and that the relationship between the two characters is hard to establish. 

• Amar believes that are production is lacking in titles during the white noise parts of our opening sequence.

• Amar also mentioned that we could add more forest like scenes earlier on to set the scene right at the start instead of leading the viewing audience into misleading environment. 

• Another feature Amar suggested we could add to our production is an intense sound towards the end of our sequence to add to the thriller theme. 

• The last thing Amar said we should change in our production is that the colour in some scenes is very bland and could do with more drama, and so he suggests we alter the colours to make them more bold and add different layers to the colours. 

We owe many thanks to Amar for his wisdom. xx

Editing - 7th March 2011

Continuing our editing process, we have added all the fade in/out transitions which is good. We have also started on adding the soundtrack, which is happening as I type this sentence. The first soundtrack we have added is the white noise sound which accompanies the white noise that appears throughout out opening sequence. We also have added a soundtrack which the good people called Holly and Lucy have kindly put together on garage band which is great as it is fitting to our genre of political thriller.

xx

What We Did Today - 3/3/11

Today in lesson, Holly and Lucy started to edit the video, first we put all of the clips in the correct order so that we now have the basic outline set up, then we added in some transitions (Fade in Fade Out), and white noise, we tried to add in our soundtrack, but unfortunately this did not go to plan, so next lesson we need to try and overcome this problem.  Overall I think that the editing of our video is going well, and we should be on schedule to finish it by next Thursdays lesson (10th March).

Feedback Of Rough Cut

We uploaded a rough cut onto the blog, however this was quite rushed and we hadn't even finished putting all the clips together but we got this feedback;

• The White noise is too long compared to the actual clip
• Extreme close ups are used most often in the phone calls
• Characters wearing suits, mobile phones used, costumes suggest genre (Political Thriller)
• Jump Cuts are used, no transitions as of yet
• All diegetic sounds, dialogue over a phone call
• The Best thing is the dialogue - really clear

We got this feeback from Q1-07 (Saffy, Sam, Lynsey and Michael)

Rough Cut.

What we have to think about after filming

Now that we have gathered all footage, we need to know what to do with it next;

• How are we going to upload it onto the Apple Mac
• How are we going to put all the footage onto Final Cut Express
• How are we going to get the bits that we want
• How are we  going to select the correct bits to edit
• How are we going to edit in an effective way
• How are we going to add sounds
• How are we going to add transitions
• How are we going to add other effects
• How are we going to block out unwanted sounds

For most, if not all of the above we learnt how to do them in our Children's Film unit.

What we had to think about before we filmed

We had a to think about a variety of things such as;

• What day and time of day to film
• How to use the camera
• How to set up the tripod
• How we were going to create the best and most effective shots
• How we were going to make the filming look like it was a political thriller - Mise-en-scene, camerawork, cinematography, lighting, sounds etc.
• How we were going to edit out unwanted noises - such as trains and other people filming
• How to choose the correct and most suitable location for our political thriller

For many of the above points we learnt how to deal with them in our Children's Film unit.

Change to actors and roles

Unfortunately, due to absence Our Goverment Official 2 (Jordan TiGurr) could not play his part, instead we had to get someone from another group to play his part (Sam Brown).  In future, we need to make sure that when we allocate roles to people, they are certain to be present because of Jordan's absence this caused some delay for us to find somebody else suitable and someone who wanted to play the part a difficulty.

Actors and Roles

Altogether in our sequence we have 3 roles:

• Goverment Official 1: Jack McCurdy
• Goverment Official 2: Jordan TiGurr
• Subject 16: Lucy Clarke

And Cinematography;

• Camera: Holly Burkett

We allocated these roles to ourselves because we believe that they best suited us and also we thought it would be better having 2 male characters as the Goverment Officials, and we thought that Lucy best suited being Subject 16.

What We Learnt From Amar

Amar came and talked us through a presentation that divulged into the stages of preparing for a film shoot. His presentation was very insightful and has helped us prepare for our own shoot.

Script: Amar talked about the need for a script so we know what is happening in the scene. As a group we constructed a script to guide us and know the exact dialogue and action that is needed in our scene.

Setting The Scene: Amar suggested to us that we do a walk-through of our location as this would help us to get used to our area and identify any scripting problems. We chose not to do this though as we are filming in college premises and we are already widely familiar with its surroundings.

Location Recce: This is another of Amar's processes that we adopted. A location recce is an in-depth process that is similar to "setting the scene" though in a location recce the area is explored in more detail. this includes potential hazards, activity in the area, ambient sounds, lighting and any other potential things that could create flaws in our project. When we did ours we were careful to note all potential problems and how to overcome them.

Digital Storyboard: We also adopted this stage from Amar's planning also. This helps us to visualise what our final product will look like combines with the location recce.

Shot List: We also constructed a shot list, though it wasn't as detailed as Amar suggested. We didn't feel the need to create a fully detailed shot list, just something simple so we could combine it with our storyboard and keep track of what we need to do.

Digital Storyboard

Location Recee

Forest: 
Areas to consider when using our forest location scene are the weather conditions, if it is raining the camera could get wet and then damaged. Mud could cause someone to slip and get very muddy then effect our video because of continuity. We need to have a look at what/who is surrounding the forest area we have chosen to use, this is because background noise of people or trains could ruin our video.

The Office:
Areas to consider when using our office location scene, things such as; we need to make sure that there is nobody working in the office when we want to film, we need to make sure that we are the only people in the office and that there is no noise.

This is the forest area of Long Road where we will be filming.

Script

*A TELEPHONE RINGS. A crackle of white noise and a close-up of a formally dressed man answers the phone*

Government Official 1 (GV1) : Hello?

*a crackle of white noise and the shot changes to another smartly dressed man*

Governent Official 2 (GV2): Sir, we have a problem..

*another crackle of white noise and scene changes back to GV1, close up of the lips*

GV1: Please tell me this isn't going to comprimise the experiment. 

*shot changes again to GV2 sitting, facing away from the camera*

GV2: Well..  subject 16.. she's.. *white noise crackle and scene switches to a girl standing in forest*

GV1: DON'T GIVE ME THAT! YOU BETTER NOT BE ABOUT TO TELL ME WHAT I THINK YOU'RE ABOUT TO TELL ME. 

*crackle of white noise as scene changes back to a close up of GV1's left eye*

GV1: This is both our jobs on the line here. Expose me and i'll bring you down too.

*scene changes to GV2*

GV2: Sir, i can assure you, the White House, the public, they won't know. 

GV2: YOU BETTER HOPE THEY WON'T.

*crackle of white noise as scene changes to girl again*

*Scene of girl changes to a different camerashot*

GV2: But Sir, she's too unstable. she's dangerous.

GV1: I DON'T CARE. i must see her, we have to see that this won't threaten the country. threaten us.. 

*Crackle of white noise as scene changes, close up of GV1's eyes*

GV2: But sir..

GV1: No buts. bring her.

*crackle of white noise as the scene changes back to subject 16 a close up and a sinister look*

GV1: Oh, and Mark, be careful

*sound of phone being put down as a white noise and scene ends*

Risk Assessment

Mise-en-Scene Blog

Location:

Our production takes place within the college of Long Road, this includes the woods surrounding the college and an office block within the college. We chose this as our location because the woods seemed appropriate for a thriller project. The office block is used because our sub genre is a political thriller and thus it to would be appropriate.

We are shooting our opening sequence within the college grounds because it is easy access and suitable for our project.

Props:

During our opening sequence we will use props to visually portray objects that the characters are using. We will use; A mobile phone and a office phone, office equipment to make the office seem genuine.

Costume:

For our production we will need good use of costume to portray the characters individual personalities. For example the young girl is wearing a green coat with a big hood and the other two characters are wearing smart, professional clothing because they are part of the government as this is a political thriller.

Lighting:

We will use natural restricted lighting in the forest areas, because we need a dark mood to the scene therefore we will use a darker part of the forest. In the office it will be artificial lighting that is lighter than the forest but not too bright (giving an impression of mystery) we are doing this because it fits in with the thriller conventions.

Feedback

From our presentation we got good and bad feedback with questions from our class.

Our good feedback was that we where aware of the thriller conventions with a good use of political thriller however we need to make sure we really think about our location and to make sure we use props to create our scene and make it realistic.

 Questions that were asked:

• How are we going to use political thriller in the opening two minutes?

Suggestions that where given:

• Shilloute usage
• Think about filming locations and props 
• Health and safety in the forest location
• To ensure we are clear with digectic sound

From our feedback we can now ensure that our thriller opening sequence fits the conventions of thriller.

Planning Our Thriller: Initial ideas..

Sub-Genre:
Political Thriller; conventions of political thriller are that stylistically it is similar to regular thriller films, however, the narrative is based around the government and corruption. The narrative is usually based around the struggle for power or the threat of loss of power or lack of trust being established.


Narrative:
Our story will be based around an illegal, controversial government experiment that has gone wrong and a subject has accidentally been released after being under quarantine due to an unstable mental condition.

The first two minutes will involve a telephone conversation between two highly appointed government officials, discussing the experiment. The conversation will be vague, only dropping small hints to what they  are talking about. The camera shots will be from the rear of he actors so faces are disguised, retaining a sense of mystery and intrigue.
During the conversation the scene will switch occasionally to show the girl wandering through a forested area, head down in a hospital-style cloak. Ideally these parts will be in black and white. This will make the storyline fragmented, another convention of thriller.



Characters:
Female hospital patient: with a mental issue that has developed from illegal testing.
Government Official 1: The higher of the two officials in the sequence, he will have a powerful strong voice
Government Official 2: This will be the official more involved with the experimental side of things. THis character will also be male.

Suggested Locations:
Office style rooms for the filming of the telephone conversation
Forested area in college for the escaped patient parts.

Conventions of Thriller: Something to Consider..

For our product to be effective and appeal to thriller audiences, we need to abide by a few conventions to maintain a fludity of genre.

Narrative:
Thrillers usually involve a narrative that is based around a crime. This crime is, in most cases, serious such as murder. The narrative structure can be eliptical and fragmented containing false paths, clues and resolutions. Thrillers commonly introduce enigmas which the audience will expect to be resolved throughout the course of the film. THe plot will usually contain an underlying enigma which is clouded by other issues in the film and is eventually resolved at the end. The protagonist of the film is draw into a web of intrigue by the antagonist, systematically disempowered. The end of the movie usually contains a scene where we are forced to the edges of our seats as we view the protagonist in peril. Thrillers commonly contain extraordinary events occuring in ordinary situations.

Themes:
Thrillers usually contain a number of themes. These themes include mirroring, voyerism and identity. The themes often reflect an aspect of the pro/antagonist's psychological state. A classic example of a couple of these themes is Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, or Se7en starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt.

Micro-Elements:
The mise-en-scene of the film usually echoes the protagonist's plight. Dark and shadowy scenes are used to represent the constricted and shadowed path that the protagonist faces. Sound is usually eerie and digetic to add realistic tension, along with a non-digetic soundtrack that is intense yet sparse to add tension in pivitol and key scenes. Framing is usually restricted to add a sense of claustrophobia and need to escape. Quick cuts are commonly used to add pace and tension.

Thriller Soundtrack Evaluation

we created our thriller sound track on garage band, to create a sound to go with the thriller genre we decided to use a deep base sound as the background noise. We added some sound effects to add to the tension of the track. The scratchy noises are a back chillers, they bring fear to the viewers. We decided to start are sound track with a very sudden busy start, this brings the attention to the audience and puts them on the edge of their seats. Things that went well when creating our sound track were the fading of the music and knowing what part of the track needed to be dimmed down and others that needed to be heard more. Things that could have gone better, we could have made the sound track longer then it is, this would need to be extended of an opening sequence.

Evaluation of Production Co. Logo

For our production logo we wanted to create something iconic, and simple so that it was recognisable and memorable, relating to the thriller genre to add relevance.

Having taken a short while to think of an appropriate name for our group to adopt, i set about finding an appropriate font. I used website "Da Font" for inspiration and selected the one that we have used, named "Bullet In The Head" as this font gives a significantly distorted look which relates to the Thriller genre.

Having applied my choice to photoshop, i thought about some effects that i could add to enhance the look. After playing with several ideas i settled on create a blood-red highlight, again to add relevance and keeping our design distinguishable. I felt that this simplicity added a certain class to our logo, after all, less is more.

Thriller Soundtrack

At Your Door Production Logo

Analysis of sound in thriller

'Catch me if you can'



The sound during the opening sequence of 'catch me if you can' is quite upbeat and repetitive, the jazzy blues style doesn't fit the genre of a thriller which make it sound mysterious but not too ominous.
The sound in the opening sequence is non diagetic because there are no present characters to hear sound.
The visuals go well with the music because it music sounds like a chase sequence and the visuals portray a figure chasing another. The visuals also add to the mysterious feel of the soundtrack because the figures have no specific facial details and are just full black.
Therefore the soundtrack doesn't really fit the thriller genre because it is too upbeat and relaxed in both visual and sound and is not near the intensity you would normally find in a thriller film.

'Surface'




The sound in the opening sequence of 'Surface' is intense and eerie with a dark twist. The use of the diagetic sound of gasping, light breathing and yelping adds to the effect of the non-diagetic sound, this makes the sound track fit well into the genre and works well with the visuals involved in the opening sequence, you see a various parts of skin and facial expressions of a woman in a state of trauma and distress. The almost fuzzy sound and the unclear images suggest confusion and sets the mood. The use of white noise as a sound is used at various times in the opening sequence, this is used a lot in thriller/horror genres because of previous films use of the white noise leaving an impact on viewers and now audiences think of white noise as horrific and ominous.  Therefore the sound in the opening sequence conforms to the thriller genre.

'Se7en'



The sound in 'Se7en' is very repetitive, intense and builds up tension.  The diegetic sound we hear is rattling and whispers - this conforms to the typical thriller genre. The added non-diagetic is a drum beat which dramatically increased, this makes the viewers more involved as it makes tension and something is expected to happen.  The almost constructive sound track with a mechanical sound effects gives the feeling that something is being planned or made, the visual clip fits this, you can see that a book of incident records is being made, within this includes dead people. This links to a typical thriller genre because of the relation to death.

Analysis of Past Students Blog and Marking Criteria

We have analysed the work of the group S1-23. We have concluded that this work is of a very high standard. This work, we believe, is a Level 4, which conforms to the following standards:

Level 4 - 48-60 (Video)

• Holding a shot steady shot, where appropriate;
• Framing a shot, including and excluding elements where appropriate
• Using a variety of shot distances as appropriate
• shooting material appropriate to the task set
• selecting mise-en-scene including colour, figure, lighting, objects and setting
• editing so that meaning is appropriate to the viewer
• using varied shot transitions and other effects selectively and appropriately for the task set
• using sound with images and editing appropriately for task set
• using titles appropriately

Level 4 - 16-20 marks (Research and Planning)

• There is excellent research into similar products and a potential target audience.
• There is excellent organisation of actors; locations, costumes or props.
• There is excellent work on shotlists, layouts, costumes or props.
• There is excellent level of care in the presentation of the research and planning.
• Time management is excellent.  

In regards to the video aspect of the project the clarity and precision of camerawork is fantastic. The shots are held steady where required which applies to the first bullet point. The framing is also very good, selection of character positing and in relation to the natural environment has clearly been carefully selected, which applies to multiple points in the marking criteria. However, a lack of transitions was evident and just a basic cut was used. Although the lack of transitions was made up for by the effective use of colour correction and sound/image editing and the highly effective use of titles. The video can be found here:

The groups organisation skills are relatively good as well. There is an excellent amount of research into similar products and the target audience that they will target. The research is extensive, covering a vast amount of hybrid thrillers and conventions. However, there is a slight lack of planning in the way there is a lack of shot list. However, this i rectified through a rough draft cut that they have constructed and amended for their final piece.

Conventions Of Political Thriller

Polital thriller is one of the many sub-genre's of thriller.

Political thrillers involve storylines based around the mindset of major governement officials and the corruption that surrounds their decisions. Political thrillers, are conventionally like thrillers, just with the involvement of politics. The storyline ivolves the main character, usually the protagonist, unraveling a web of lies and corruption and the path it that this person is led on. This path is usually psychologically challenging can involve elements of action.

A classic example of a political thriller is the film "The Interpreter". A more fast paced political thriller would be The Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum.

Comparing Two Thriller Opening Sequences - Se7en & Panic Room

In Se7en and Panic Room, they both have spooky/creepy music at the beginning, however in Panic Room there is a change in music, which gives a dramatic effect on the viewer.  In Panic Room, the opening scene mainly focuses on buildings and skyscrapers (in America) whereas in Se7en the opening sequence is actually of a person doing something.  In Se7en there is lots of shadowing, and the lighting is very dark which makes us think that someone is planning a crime like a murder or something else.  In Panic Room because the opening scene is just different shot angles of buildings and skyscrapers it makes us think that there is going to be an extraordinary event in an ordinary place.  Both of the opening sequences are very different, but overall I prefer Se7en because there is more going on and this is what keeps me focused on the film, whereas in Panic Room the opening sequence looks boring and it doesn't intrigue me very much so I prefer Se7en.

Preliminary Evaluation

    We learnt how to position the camera in a particular ways from this we learnt what shots were most effective. when editing we found that there was another way of cuttimg in and out so that we ould get the clips we wanted. This turned out to be easier and we could get the cuts more accurate.

   We found that finding the correct location to film our preliminary task was a little difficult, this was because we needed a corridor with doors but a corridor that was long enough to get our long shot that was wanted. Whilst trying to upload our film to youtube we had some difficulties the whole film uploading as the first couple of tries only a half the film went on, we resolved this by rendering the whole video again to ensure it was all smooth. After doing this we managed to upload the video first time with no problem.

Having given some of the conventions of thriller a thought, we decided to use an effective mise-en-scene that made our first character seem mysterious and dark with his hood up while his body was positioned in a way that the camera did not expose his face until the climax of the scene. Our camera angles were basic. Most angles used were long shots and close-ups, including over-shoulder shots for the conversation. these added mystery to our storyline. although we wanted to, we didn't use any non-digetic sound due to timr ristrictions. we included a conversation as this was part of what we were tasked to do. In the editing phase we only used one simple fade in/out transition to add a smooth transition into our main sequence. In the editing process we made sure we stuck to the 180 degree rule to add continuity.

Preliminary Task

This is our Preliminary Task, in which we just got used to using the camera and using different shots.

Preliminary Task Storyboard

These are our storyboards we followed when filming our preliminary work, though brief these were essential in remembering what we had to capture.
