Evalutation

Overall, we produced a comprehensive and relevant thriller film that adhered to the codes and conventions of contemporary thriller films. We ensured that the editing involved making our lighting very dark through the use of colour correction and contrast. We realised that in order to priduce a successful thriller meaning had to be built through the Mise en Scene. Another essential in thrillers is the use of non-diegetic sounds - we used these to our advantage and used resources that provided non copyrighted horror sounds. These were prolonged noises that culminated in sharp, intense sounds. These sounds were inspired by Hitchcock's Psycho. In terms of our camera work, at times we were sloppy: we sometimes cut segments of peoples head out of the frame of the shot (although our opening scene requires the antagonist's identity to remain concealed). This is something we would change if we were to shoot our opening again. We would also have liked to obtain an image/some footage of a full moon to use as a graphic match to Daisy's necklace. This would have meant we could include more complex editing processes in our feature.
