Thriller re-editing

For the first half of the lesson, we watched our peers' opening sequences and gave constructive comments to help them improve. We had to think individually what we thought their plot was and then two points of feedback, one positive comment and one improvement.
Our feedback points were:

•Unusual approach
•Good camera work
•Good music choices - tension built at points
•Out of focus shot at the end - good ending
•Music - at points makes it sound like Television Drama
•Refilm some shots in wide screen
•Length of shots need to be edited and cut down
•"Tom" and "Sophie" romantic section, looks too "happy" and focused around them
•Cuts more from "stalkers" point of view so that it build up tension

The second half of this lesson we spent re-editing and discussing refilming. We decided that we should not film anymore of Andrew and should only refilm the photo pan. Andrew then spent some time downloading thematic music to use in our film. From a choice of five pieces of music, I thought the most suitable was a track called 'Secrets told' as it was very eiree. I also made more cuts between the stalker camera and the over the shoulder camera. To make a further distinction between the stalker camera and the over the shoulder camera, I increased the volume level of the interference in the stalker camera shots.
