EVALUATING THE ROUGH CUT - Sabina

1. The order that we planned our title sequence to be in was different from the one in the rough cut. After having filmed it and putting it together, we realised that it would be best to move a few of the shots around. The shots that we moved were the ones of where the serial killer is getting ready and his victim is leaving the party. The original plan was to show the serial killer getting ready first and then show the victim leaving the party after receiving a text from her Mom. But we decided to swap it around as it looked better and made more sense. The title sequence as a whole turned out to be a success as it flowed really well and we got the feeling of suspense that you would normally get when watching a Thriller.

2. The camera work needs to be redone as it was slightly messy but the angles that we shot the scenes from worked well.

3. I think we could've used a wider range of shot types. However the shot types that were used were indeed effective at creating suspense and setting the mood.

4. The use of lighting for the scene where the girl is walking down the street wasn't very good since it was very dark and we couldn't really see much. We should've taken lights with us to improve the lighting.


5. The performance given by the characters was really good. We could get that eerie serial killer feeling from Elijah. Savannah, who played Mariah, was very good at expressing her vulnerability as the victim.


6. The location of the serial killer's bedroom helped a great deal at creating the mood of the genre. However, I think we could've used a much better location for the alleyway that the girl was going down. The props were very effective at giving us an idea as to the intentions of the serial killer towards the victim. The costumes worn were effective to play its part.
