Use of micro-elements in our thriller.

- Conventions through Editing

From our feedback we noticed that the most people found the build up of suspense very effective through the use of music and quick shots. However they found that the other shots and editing also created some confusion as well as the music being to short out and cutting out towards the end.

- Our use of Transactions also helped create a good sense of false security abd the flash of the kidnapped girl was also effective.


- Conventions through Mise-en Scene

Our location appeared very secluded providing a good sense of helplessness and suspense for the audience.

- Dolls helped to create a web of intrigue and helped to create enigmas the audience to solve.

Camera work

Due to lack of time and a change of idea - we never organised a shot list so our filming and editing didn't work so well as planned.

We included alot of pan shots in our opening in order to make the most of our location. We also included a small amount of close ups on characters faces in order for the audience to notice characters facial expressions.

We could of used more close up shots in oder to limit the amount of information given to the audience- creating more curiosity and suspense.
