This is the rough cut for our thriller opening. After showing it to Rebecca and the class we were given feedback and this was what was said. Some of the shots were too long so they need to be cut ( Joyce's entrance, the mirror sot, When Alan leaves to open the door, stairs shot, when Joyce sits down, when Joyce picks up the box, the first part of the stairs clip). We will cut as soon as the object or figure is out of frame to shorten it and to make it more suspenseful. We agree with this point of feedback and we have already started. Another point that was raised was sound, which we are in the process of creating and will be added when it is finished to create that suspenseful atmosphere. We also decided as a group. to add foley sound, for example, when joyce falls to the ground and when they're walking up the stairs.

First stages of editing
better to use so we could sync them together. Some of our clips are failures so we wanted to make sure we did not have any. As we go into the timeline, we are trying to place this scene so we could have a match cut with the previous video.
PLANNING- Location
We had originally chosen to film at Dionne's house as it was the closest to the college.
Pitch Feedback
We presented our pitch to media teachers then was given feedback. When presenting I found we lacked order. It was not discussed the order of each member presenting therefore when speaking out it sounded quite disordered.
The feedback given by audience was both positive and negative. We were told by the teachers that our story seemed interesting although to complex and suggested we cut out some scenes. They commented that our storyboards were quite vague compared to the previous groups thats why we were asked more questions.
The students asked whether the openings was going to be filmed in the afternoon or later adding after that we should involve a lot of close ups.
We plan on taking all advice into action when filming.
I found the pitch could have gone much better we could have laid out the prezi more presentable and added more information so that we had less questions to answer.

Final Ideas
From Our Intial Ideas, we picked two that we thought were the best and developed the narrative further and looked where we would film, the genre type, Props we would need and ways in which we could best put across our story.
IDEA 1 - BELLA
This Idea was intially put forward by Dionne and developed furtherWe decided as a group that we liked this idea and thought it was very interesting. It's about a Teacher who, as a child, lost a very close friend (named Bella) of his and has never quite recovered from that and became mentally unstable. He supresses his true state to be able to make money as a teacher but outside teaching he has no friends. Over the years he had been plotting to kill young girls called Bella as when she left his life went downhill until he became a teacher.
IDEA 2 - BOX PLOT
This idea was put forward by Attilla and developed by the other members of the group. It is about a Boy and a girl who are romantically invovled but what the girl doesn't know is her boyfriend is overly obssessed with her and keeps a box full of things that relate to her, for example, pictures of her out with mates, pieces of her hair, used chewing gum (that was hers). One day after a day out she finds the box accidently and looks through it and finds out but before she can run off he sees that she has found it and traps her
We decided to pick box plot and it didn't have as complex narrative and a back story which would need to be shown aswell. Also it would be easier to play on some of the different parts of the narrative in order to get a good reaction from our audience
