Rough Cut

Learning Points

• We learnt how to make our credits much more interesting and this helped us create more tension and atmosphere in our opening sequence.
• We also learnt various editing techniques that we used to shorten some scenes to make them more effective and pulse-raising.
• The most important thing we learnt was to use the thriller conventions and put them into our sequence.

Criticism

We believe that when other members of the group watch our sequence we think that the main problem they will have is with the music at the beginning and at the end. We felt as though the sound effects used at the end during the opening titles were not effective because they did not totally represent our sub-genre and was used on a loop because there was nothing else that was similar but longer.

Final Deadline

For the final deadline we will definitely be changing the soundtrack at the beginning and at the end, and we will also be changing the opening titles as they were not effective and we used a white background but this is not a major thriller convention.
