Thriller Task- Feedback

Lesson 17- 23/3/10

In today's lesson my group had to export the thriller opening sequence to AVI again as I found the problem of the video footage was not right. When viewing the opening sequence on YouTube and my blog I saw that the footage was grey and you could not the effects that we had added.

Exporting to AVI was not a problem and was simple enough, this took little time. But whist uploading the video onto YouTube, it appeared to take a long time and slowed down the process. All we could do was to wait. Meanwhile, we were watching the other groups opening sequences to see what they had achieved so far. We watched through each sequence and would give both positive and negative feedback about the thriller and what they could do to improve. When it came to show our thriller we had to view it on Windows Media Player as our thriller was still uploading onto YouTube. The general feedback was good from the rest of the class, which I liked to know that others were intrigued to watch on from what we had achieved so far.

The improvements that were suggested to us is to make Character B's entrance more clearer as the audience were not sure of who he was and unfortunately could not understand what he was saying. Another improvement was to use other transitions as the ones that we were currently using were not giving the right impression towards the audience.

After, Shaneece, Trisha and I decided that we needed to re-film some shots for example, Character B's entrance and dialogue, the tracking shot of Character A when she is walking towards the film, music to accompany Character's B long shot. We thought we could try and film in the Easter holidays that were coming up as this would give us more time when we came back to edit the new footage. The video finally uploaded to YouTube and I uploaded the video to my blog to be viewed and marked.

Next lesson, we will change the transitions that we are currently using to give the right impression and atmosphere to the audience.
