Final Filming and Edit



This is our second draft, we attempted to make the changes from our previous feedback and managed to finish filming.We are very happy with our production but we still feel like could improve certain areas, we plan to re-film the part where Priya comes out of the station and is being followed by Ash(at 1.33) at twilight.Me and Divya feel the need to add tension to the production by including the thriller connvention of pathetic fallacy, the darker the atmosphere the more suspence is created.Our editing also needs to be tighter and sharper to create a panicky effect, if our cuts are quicker the pace of the sequence will be faster and we have learned this gets the audiece on the edge of their seats wanting more.We are in the making of creating our sound, after the music and sound have been added the prodction will be complete.

Feedback From Class

Good Points


The main good point that were repeated was that our production included a variety of shots which match the criteria within the brief.We were also told that our POV and handheld shots were very effective and relevant hence the title ''the stalker''.
The titles were suitable and innovative as the typography of the titles were good.You could see the shots which were meant to be following after the titles came up, this conveys Cassie being followed.

Bad Points

We received many suggestions on how to improve our draft, we need to include pathetic fallacy as all our locations are shot in daytime where it is too light and unconventional for a thriller. This means we have to re film at night where it is darker which will add a scary effect.We also need to cut down the number of zooms as it makes the production loose its intensity, the more cuts used the more we will be able to get the audience on the edge of their seats.

Targets

-To re film the section where Cassie is followed in twilight to give the opening sequence a more scary effect. This allows us to follow the conventions of a thriller
-To cut quicker scenes and shots to create more suspense
-Re film the shot where Cassie is crying as we need to put emphasis on the tear drop
-Make the connection between why she is crying when looking at the baby pictures. (The class didn't see flashback)
