Possible monologue

As we have edited the footage our group thought about adding a monologue over the top of the footage to briefly explain what is happening to our audience so they aren't confused.

Re-Filming Thriller Opening

When we filmed our thriller opening on 28th November we realised we missed out a lot of shots we needed for the opening to make sense so we will be re-filming on 8th Sunday to get the shots we need as well as getting more footage. We are changing our actors to try and help us to get the right footage as we will all be filming. We are giving Libby's role to a girl called Aimee and we are removing Hope's role as it didn't make much sense. We are keeping the same idea but we are improving it.
Here s a list of things we are going to improve:
  • Better/more establishing shots of the scenery of the place we are filming.
  • Setting the scene more effectively
  • A variation of shots/angles
  • Reaction shots of Aimee
  • Make the creepy display board more effective
  • Use make-up to make the hand look creepy and lifeless
  • More effective close-ups
  • Shot reverse shot

Audience Reaction to our pitch

 Our audience thought this idea was very cliche as it involves a girl and boy meeting from the internet. While this is a mordern idea, the idea of a girl and boy meeting from the internet and it going wrong is very cliche as it is overdone.


The audience thought this idea was a good idea as it would create a lot of suspense if we got the right location. However, they thought that we would have a hard job finding the right location so this idea might not work completely.

The audience thought this was a unique idea that would work quite nicely. They thought this idea would be the most possible out of the ideas they thought weren't cliche as the location would be easy to find and the idea isn't so complicated that we won't be able to do it.

How my audience research will affect our production

The audience research that I did will affect our final production by giving us information on what are target audience thinks our thriller should/should not include and letting us decide which of the conventions/techniques our audience has chosen to use for our production depending on what we think would fit in with our idea.

The audience research I did will also affect our final production because it will give us ideas on what to do when we are editing the shots together e.g. what music are audience thinks is best, lighting etc.
