This was an awkward video to post as it had copyright infringements due to our original soundtrack on Youtube so it has been changed now and so has the host website.
This was our first attempt at a serious thriller piece, we were limited on time, space and props. However personally I think that our idea was successful and has played a huge part in making our decisions for our actual thriller, more effective. We filmed just outside then inside the Drama Studio, reason for this was just because we new how dark we could make the scene and then illuminate it with just one light. The main prop we had was a gun, we were trying to see if we could put a gun in an amateur thriller and still be able to make it look convincing, and while it worked fine in this film we felt it was a bit unnecessary and it seemed as if we would be using the prop for the sake of just having a gun in our film.
The narrative was pretty simple, a cult of depressed teenagers decide that instead of waiting for God to kill them, their going to take their own lives despite what the Bible says, the reason for our simplicity was to avoid what most other groups do for their continuity, someone being chased which results in a misunderstanding, so instead we went with an original idea. We used this opportunity to try out the standard cameras we might be using for our Thriller, to see what lighting we would need and which shot types we like. From this all of our group found a preference in the team we would be working in for the thriller so overall I found this a successful experience.
Probably the main learning point that was made after this was created, was the editing stage of our film. We used the Macs that school provided for us with this production, and we found it to be very basic and not very appealing, we made this decision for our final that one of us for use a more professional editing software for our Thriller to ensure that the final piece wouldn't be a similar standard to this one.
I think when this is compared to our Thriller, it will be more clear how this production has benefited us.
