Thriller - Editing

At the moment we are mid editing our thriller and I find it quite intimidating and scary as it appears to be quite complex. But so far we've managed to creat something quite cool which resembles the Walking Dead opening.

I was in charge of taking care of the titles, which I found quite fun. Matt (media guy) helped me to find fonts and different effects which would best suit our epidemic thriller. So I messed about a bit with that which I found quite fun and we've nearly sorted that out. I edited these by putting them onto photoshop and going from there.

We have also sorted out a lot of the basic/main edits that we wanted to do, we wanted to make it gritty and harsh and have put in a lot of fast flashes of virus shots and evidental bits on diseases like lots of dead bodies and blood.

Thriller - Questionaires

A couple of our group members recieved a mixture of critical and very well done feeback on our thriller. Here is a report of some of the views and opinions people had.

Name:	“What do you think the basic plot of the thriller is?”	“What do you think are the key strengths of this thriller and why?”	“How do you think this thriller could be made even more effective and why?”
Gen	“about an epidemic of disease breaking out over the world”	“the use of effects with the titles and edits was amazing, the set and camera shots were also very good”	“a little to many credits I think”
Laila	“people have been killed”	“good sounds”	“sometimes maybe too much editing, makes it confusing.”
Anna Sophie	“epidemic, dead people”	“very interesting, actually freaks me out. Good camera angles with dead people.”	“maybe a bit too shakey sometimes”
-	“Epidemic”	“Very good”	-
Sara	“dead people. Epidemic”	“good camera angles and lighting”	“too much time dedicated on showing the names!

Thriller - Editing

Now that we are working on our final cut for our thriller and thinking about how we want our thriller to actually look, we have decided to reflect it to the opening sequence to 'Land of the Dead'.


We are using these sort of images to help portray it as best as we can, that it is part of an epidemic:



This is all in order to show the audience exactly what has happened, and by showing pictures of bodily fluids and molecules this will correlate to the idea of theme and give the audience an idea of what we are doing.
