Audience Feedback on 3 initial Ideas

Audience Feedback on 3 initial Ideas

Audience research on Initial ideas

Idea 1

Our first idea was the one with the man getting arrested with no memory as to why. This idea was not received very well as the audience told us that it may be hard to pull off as we would need a police officer costume. We were also told that our idea, since it would be filmed in public, may get us in trouble if we see someone running from an officer. We decided that , after the feedback, that we would not go with this idea as it may of been too hard to film.

Idea 2

This idea was our one about the preacher who goes bad. This idea was received well as we had all our props ready for this film and we wouldn't have to travel too far as we would film it at school. The audience thought that the mystery of how the Preacher became a criminal being a mystery was very intriguing so this was the idea we decided to make our main one. 

Idea 3

Our actual idea here was received quite well from the audience however we decided that we didn't have enough people or props for the film. We also decided that the film may go on over 2 minutes so then we wouldn't be able to do it. We decided that this idea was a good idea but we decided it still may be too hard to film so we made it our back up idea.

Fourth Production Meeting

Fourth Production Meeting



In our fourth production meeting, we decided to make our ident for our thriller. Firstly, we had to gather our resources to photoshop our ident. Firstly we got the images downloaded from the internet, along with the sound and font. Patrick photoshopped the log online with the tools used from Adobe Photoshop. Finally, we edited the whole ident on premier pro. It turned out perfect for our thriller.

Third Production Meeting

Third Production Meeting

In this production meeting, we decided to film our rough cut. Everyone did their roles very well, and had a very good output. We edited the rough copy to see how it turns out. We were all happy with the rough copy and decided to carry on with the film.

Final Idea

Final Idea

The idea we chose was our third idea, which was:

A normal preacher is giving a sermon with a bored audience but then it cuts to the future and the same preacher is covered in blood and is getting chased by the FBI, the preacher get caught in a corner and pulls out a gun intending to shoot the agent but then he pulls out a card looks at it and then turns the gun on himself and shoots himself in the head. The card is then revealed to be a King of Diamonds card with proverbs 16:12 written on it. We chose this idea as it seemed like our best idea but also the easiest to film and get props for.

Second Production Meeting

Second Production Meeting

In our second production meeting we decided what days we would film on. We also made slight changes to our final idea and made sure we had all the props ready. We checked the upcoming weather forecast to see if it was ok.

Style of Editing

Editing
Editing is the process of looking at all the footage shot during the making of a film/TV programme and placing it in the desired order and joining it together.
There are two key areas of editing: Speed of Editing and Style of Editing.

Speed Editing
In a film, each scene can last a matter of seconds or minutes, but the length of each sequence establishes the pace of the film moving the action along. If the audience feels anxious the scene would be very quick, the scenes would change very frequently. It is the complete opposite if the audience is relaxed. However, some films do not need editing such as the Russian Ark, which was filmed in one take.




Style of Editing
This when how the shots are linked together. The movement of one shot to the next is called a transition. The are many techniques in the style. Firstly there is a fade. This is the gradual darkening or lighting. Wipes is when one image is pushed off the screen by another. Images can be pushed to the left or to the right, however it is more common for the image to be pushed to the left.
