Thriller By Jordan & Arijana

This was the secound short thriller that myself and Jordan had attempted; again we had many techniqual issues with tapes and also with actors. Over-all I think that it has some conventions of a thriller, such as: - Omniscient, Enigma Code, Antagonist, Linear, Sound track, Narrative etc...

However we did have a few jump shots, the sound was not always clear (characters voices) also the sound track didn't agree with every scene that it was used in although it worked very well towards the end of the thriller; the sound track didn't play smoothly either it was like it almost kept having short breaks.

Another thing we could improve on is the duration of our shots; some of them where too short where as others where too long, however I would agrue that we have very steady camera shots.

In additon I think that an establishing shot of the school grounds would have been alot more affective in the very beginning of the thriller, also the miss-en-scene, things such as lighting and loation could have been improved a great deal, for example if it was darker and the classroom where the 'geeks' where wasn't so bright it could have been alot more effective as a thriller, on the other hand I think we had a great choice of characters i.e. the actors fit in very well with the type of characters we wanted.

Over all, we will try and out come the issues with this thriller for our next and I think we could have done alot more with this thriller storybord if we had chosen a more appropriate location
