 Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?


What was the preliminary task? and how effective was the preliminary task?
The preliminary task was a practise session for my group and I to film a conversation and for us to figure out our strengths and weaknesses.  For example my weakest point was be able to hold the camera in focus and my strongest points were the camera angles and sizes. By doing the preliminary task we built up our knowledge within our roles and settings


Preliminary task

Comparison

Here my use of space was not very effective

because I had a lot of empty space in the video.

By having a lot of space, the focus

 was not on the characters because

the audience would see the extra space.

Here you can see that there is good use of space and I did not film any extra space around the characters of focus, for example our character has used up all the space and is in a dominant position. Here you can see my framing and general use of space is better. 

In this shot we can see that the panel shot has not been used
properly because we cant see the shoulder of the character. And in this
frame I can see loads of empty spaces that hasn't been used.

I improved in our movements and made the
character move more often and the camera
would follow our character as he moves.



The editing improved here because I was able to
show the movement of
the male character better as he comes into the house.
The way this has been edited is
 better than our preliminary because it looks more
intense for the audience.

The editing on this shot is not very good because the frame
before looked a bit like a
jump cut and was a noticeable edit instead of a smooth one.

Personal reflection

I believe that I made a successful thriller because we improved on our preliminary task which highlights that we have contributed and improved in our work. Therefore, We gathered a lot of primary and secondary research which gave us an idea on how to make our work better and how to make it successful.

I mostly enjoyed filming our scenes and including loads of blood because we got to be creative and make real blood and make our scenes look realistic.

To improve we should of included more camera shots.

From the whole process I learnt how to produce primary sound and include it to the thriller movie. I also learnt how to film and bring alive an actual storyboard.

Evaluation: Question 5) How did you attract/address your target audience?

Question 5)

Secondary  research:
The use of secondary data collection is often used to help align the focus of large scale primary research. When focusing on secondary research, the researcher may realize that the exact information they were looking to uncover is already available through secondary sources. This would effectively eliminate the need and expense to carry out there own primary research.
Target audience of thriller movies:
Some common themes in most thriller films are violence, psychological issues. These both may be problems for younger audiences, but they may also be too intellectually demanding for younger audiences. Because of this, the thriller genre as a whole I often aimed at more adult audiences. However, there are several sub-genres to the thriller genre, each of which often having different target audiences. Horror thrillers are often less intellectually demanding, and are therefore aimed at young adults, from mature teenagers onwards. The common themes of violence and mature themes may be unsuitable for audiences younger than this for example 'insidious'.

Conventions and emotions
I used young people because its more conventional for a thriller film and the audience expect young people to be capable for murder. I also used blood and a knife which is conventional to a thriller film. Therefore, Blood and knife create tension and will make the audience feel disturbed. The young characters will make the audience evoke emotion.


What did I want to attract:
For my thriller movie I wanted to attract the young teenagers 15-18 because I believe that they will have similar interests, expectations, similar aged characters and  similar themes. For example aged 15-18 teenagers will want to see violence but limited violence which also the audience to see limited disturbing cuts but they will be find of just seeing blood everything s a n iconography.

Questionnaire
I carried out a questionnaire to help me gain more knowledge on what my audience enjoys.

For example, from the results I have received now I know what sub- genres the public is interested. Due to my results I am going to make my thriller a crime thriller because more people will enjoy it and watch it.

 

 

 

 Key 4 questions

 In order to get feedback from my target audience I asked questions that will be useful to me to do my thriller movie:

1.Would you classify thriller as your top 3 genres?  (yes/no)
This question is beneficial because as a group we would roughly want to know how famous the genre thriller is.

2. would you want the antagonist to be hidden identity? (yes/no)
We have asked this question because we want to discover what kind of feeling would the audience want because a hidden identity antagonist would cause tension but however a antagonist that isn't hidden identity wouldn't cause as much tension.


3. What gender would you expect the antagonist to be? And why?
This question has helped us choose our protagonist wisely because the having a male antagonist is very stereotypical and the still enjoy seeing the antagonist as a male.
