Final Cut/edit




The additional footage has been added to the film and edited, the camera was steady and filmiing of good quality so we replaced some off our older shots with similar ones and other shots we though were more effective. We failed to shoot a better reaction shot for the end whereby Andy realises Sehb has escaped him on the train. We had to settle for the intial reaction shot where the acting, we feel was quite poor. If we had more time i would have reshot that with more anger as it would add more drama and intensity to the piece.

Unlike our inital plan to include a more ubeat piece of music in our thriller,we have opted for a more tension building, thriller like background music. This is because having watched the opening with both types of music the codes and conventions would be better met if the music was changed. It would appeal to the target audience more, as they would espect more tension building music.It also help to create pace and thus help carry the narrative better.

I am happy with the final piece having added the finishing touches. The name of the production company and studios also fits the codes and conventions of thrillers and films in general and makes it look more realsitic and proffesional film. It flows better, the camera work is good, and is more engaging than our rough cut. There has clearly been a vast improvement since then, and i am happy with the work as it stands.
