Skill development

Codes and conventions

At the beginning of the project , I dont even know what are they but after I asked my media teacher to explain and research them by myself many ideas came up in my heads. Convention of thriller must have low key lighting , shadows. Moreover we must used tension music and diegetic sound of breathing. The main character will have a hidden identity that audience will uncover. So I have learn more about codes and conventions from doing this project.




Planing and organisation 

In this part I think we did not do well because we did not spend time to planning as much as we could use. However , we did really well on organisation by splitting each task to each member. I was taking part of finding a props and location that will suit with our concept , finding sound effect and doing camera work. Ploy is also help me with the camera work and finding sound effects , she is the main editor. Mint is a main actress and she also take part of thinking the main storyline. 




Camera work

I improved a lot in this area. I learnt many camera shots such as pan shot , close up etc. I was the main person who was filming so I needed to used a lot of camera angle which will be fit with the concept of the storyline. Closeup shot is very also important for thriller because closeup shot will give a tension to the audience.





Visual FX

I did not use any effects in the opening credits. The only thing we did is to adjust the contrast and the lighting to be darker.For example, in the last scene we lower the solution and contrast down because we were using food colouring which is very bright and colourful and it doesn't look like a blood.  We also cropped some of the scene to make a closeup shot.
