Thriller Rough Cut

Our Strengths: -

•  We had "Great" composition of the first shot
• Smooth transitions
• The dip to whites for the flashbacks were very effective
• The sound of the digging was ominous and "superb"
• The soundtrack fell into place and matched the film

Our Weaknesses: -

• Our titles needed to be more ordered
• We needed to anchor the titles into place and not have them "floating"
• Some of the titles were too big in unnecessary places
• Move the soundtrack so it is at the start of the film
• We had to make sure Michael (Connor) was moving in the first shot

Analysis of costumes and locations

 

In our costumes we had Michael dressed in a black coat with jeans and trainers to represent him as a 'laid back' person in fashion and also a dark character as the water proof black coat symbolizes him as a mysterious figure.  Mason however is represented as a more fashionable character as it reflects his personality as a 'happy go lucky' person.  However the idea of the big beanie could suggest him having a lack of interest to the outer world as it restricts his view and senses around him as it almost blocks it all out. 

 

The locations we used in the flashbacks and in the burial scene create a diversity of happy and miserable atmosphere as it keeps cutting from a happy and pleasant but busy atmosphere of the two couple and then back to the burial in "The Pit" (location name) which creates a weary and also disturbing atmosphere.
