The genre of the preliminary was a thriller with the sub genre being psychological thriller; we kept the same genre because of the good feedback we had got from our preliminary. The storyline for the preliminary was a stalker but we had changed the idea for our main was a friend who died and the murdered being a psychiatrist it is almost a plot twister. We also did extensive research into the thriller genre with the narrative, camera shots, sound and Mise en scene and also examples of certain films. The narrative was mainly in an opening quite short and more silence with sound being full of suspense and terror.
In the preliminary, we found out that the point of view shot represents the person and the movements and emotions of the character in a way that other camera shots would not be able to do, and we used it effectively. Compared to our main, we used a lot of point of view shots as it made the opening full of suspense and gives nothing away to the audience. In our preliminary we realised that we did not use close up shots for an in-depth look into the characters emotions at the time and we have progressed to a point that close ups are essential to our opening sequence as it gave the audience a chance to see the emotion being portrayed, an example of this was when Jacob came out of the flashback after remembering what had happened. We took full use of the large area in the tunnel and used a wide shot to give the viewers a look at the two victim’s fate and the antagonist.
Overall we have learnt to improve the camera shots with point of views etc. Also just the general knowledge of the thriller genre made us maximise our performance to get good success in our opening sequence.
