The Finished Film (Possessed)

Thriller Conventions

Problems

When filming our "sick"scene and the "hearing voices" scene we re-winded the tape midway through to see how it looked and without thinking, we did not forward it, which left us with half of the shots wee needed. Making it nessecary for us to film the sequence again.


We also had a problem with continuity because during filming our actpr ctu his hair. It was to late to re film the whole sequence so instead we tried to get Sid to cover his ears as much as possoble and use camera angles that would not hilight his hair.

Feedback

I asked some of my fellow classmates what they thought of my thriller, and asked them to write it down...
They told me it was;
'good, the sick looked really realistic' 
'interesting shots, different effects and many parts seemed realistic'
'it was aright, i liked the wonky camera'
'i didn't like the acting, but i liked the use of handheld shots'
'the titles were good, and so was the music'
Overall, I was really happy with the feedback i got from my piers. 

Using Sound with Images

When filming we had to match the sound with the images. We were unable to use a sound bridge as the music was playing throughout the film. However, we could match the pace of the music to the clips. I changed the shot through sections of the music where there was a predominant beat so the music could align with the shots.

Editing:

The speed of edditing in my thriller opening is very quick. The transitions i have used are dissolve and fade in. I attempted to use some others, like slide and page peel, however this did not fit in with the film and film. It also made it look tacky. 

Using the right material for a thriller ;
