day 5 - 7
Day 5-7
On day five we began editing our recorded media course work I began making our iDENT, which will be featured towards the beginging of our media piece, we all decided that we wanted a door for our iDENT as we belived doors symbolised oppurtnity and change, although the grass is not always greener on the otherside, I then used the image of a door and changed the colours whilst also adding a glowing effect to make everything seem more sinister and thrilling, we then examined our finished piece and decided on a name for our production industry, we decided on Gateway productions.
On day seven Claire then uploaded a rough copy of our work to youtube for feedback, whilst me and Tariq worked on audeince questionares and feedback.

Analyse of three students past work
Analysing past students work
We was given this task to help create ideas on how we would create our own thriller opening, this helped us think and gave us ideas from what other people have done and also gave us tips on what we shouldn't and should do and I saw how certain media productions went a bit off track into other genres and lacked certain thriller features.
Possessed looked and sounded more like a horror opening but it did display some thriller convections such as cliff hanging scenes and Macguffins, i think they have made good use of Mise-en-scene especially with the props such as the vomit and the blood, I wouldn't say that the music was appropriate it sounded a bit out of place like disco music, but the sound effects were in line with what was going on and made sense, I think it lacked technical security as it looked to me more like a horror film, but possibly could be turned into a psychological thriller.
Analysing past student work part 2
The decoy does look like a normal thriller opening and not like other openings that looked like horror trailers, including a variety of different sound types and music I like the way off screen sound was included and the parallel sound and the way the sound in general matched each situation it added to the suspense and whole experience of watching the opening thriller convections were good there was a lot of suspense and confusion and a few Macguffins, Mise-en-scene was also good as the setting was good as well as the lighting, setting and props , maybe the characters position within the frames could have been improved slightly overall this seemed like a good opening and technically secure.

Analysing past students work part 3
It's personal looks like a very slow paced thriller openning, where as typically thriller opening's have action or some thriller devices to attract the audiences attention or make them feel some sort of suspense or tension, although the openning progressed the tension did build up and I began to wonder what they was going to do when they was driving up to where they was going, aswell as what was going to happen with the person that was kidnapped, the on and off screen sound was good and fitted in with what was on screen, mise-en-scene was good as the props stood out most to me out of all the openings, as well as having good costumes although the lighting was abit too dark, at the beginging of the openining in the scenes within the house.
Preliminary exercise and evaluation
Preliminary exercise and evaluation
Below is a demonstration of the thriller convections and techniques we have learnt, this was done to help us evaluate and improve our skills, whilst helping us to work towards making a thriller opening sequence, which will be used for our coursework and marked.
Evaluation
We managed to include most of the new techniques we had learnt from studying thriller convections as well as sound and camera types in this preliminary task examples of this would be the "crane" camera shot providing a birds eye view of mine and Mohiburs conflict at the table, this shot allowed us to get all the action into one scene and was most effective in that scene, we then tried to incorporate thriller conventions by including a Macguffin, the scene where the door opens and the shot only reveals the characters feet, this was done so that the audience would feel tension and suspense as to who was coming into the room.
