DEATH WISH FINAL PRODUCTION

The audience feedback we got for our final production was generally good and with the opening sequence i feel that we achieved our task which was to create suspense and tension with in the audience. The strenght of the opening sequence were, good mise en scene, lighting and a variety of camera shots. Before showing the final production the typograpghy was red which from audience feedback was to dark and usually conventional of the horror genre. So we changed it to white which is more classic and conventional of thrillers, which met the audiences expectations when showing them the final production.

Death Wish Soundtrack

The use of our soundtrack was developed in music software "Garageband", which we used the Mac to operate the program. The  soundtrack was formed up of different element of specific beats. The use of the beats were used to create a suspenseful thriller that would contribute to the convention of thriller.

The use of audience feedback enable us to reflect on our product. This included the soundtrack that was recieved to be too cheerful towards the scene of the thriller. This meant that the cheerful sound was removed to ensure that suspense was built in the opening scene of our thriller.

DEATH WISH ROUGH EDIT

This is the rough edit of our thriller opening sequence. This was very useful to have as it showed us the mistakes we had made throughout the film which was decided by the audience feedback. The audience told us what our mistakes were and told us that this did not create any tension or suspense. The mise en scene in this sequence was very poor as we did not make the shots tight enough to restrict the audience from seeing everything for example when the camera pans to the door we see posters and a fire exit at the top which was very irrelevant. The shots were also very unsteady where we also used zooming. This lead to the camera focus being weak, as it was blurry and distorted. Due to the lighting in the room this was also poor as it took away the suspense. In this rough edit we also notice that the antagonists face is seen to early which doesn't create any tension or suspense which is very important to the conventions of a thriller.

The changes we are going to make are:

• Changing the setting of the dark room.
• Steady panning.
• More close-ups, framing and POV shot focusing on detail.
• The mise en scene and lighting needs to be changed.
• To create suspense by making the shots very restricted.
