Feedback from class about our idea

After presenting our thriller idea, the class had an opportunity to ask questions and give feedback about the information we had been talking about. The main query that people asked was about the type of music that is going to be included in our opening sequence. Although we haven't fully thought this through, we have brief ideas about the non-diegetic sound involved and our classes queries has made us think about our sound more. Our idea for non-diegetic sound is to start off with mysterious, quiet and creepy music that is to create a sense of a stark atmosphere. As the footage becomes more intense and the narrative starts to pick up, the music will indicate that for the audience, therefore the music will intensify and become louder to create dramatic effect. A basic question we were asked about is the title of our thriller, this is an aspect that we still need to consider as we are unsure about what to call our thriller.

Another aspect people asked us about was the practicalities of filming the footage, as we need to ensure that we film before it gets too dark and in an area in which the surrounding represents the genre well. They suggested a location for us, such as near: 'The Place' in Cambridge as their was a an alley near there, as in the evening it would look eery and it is fairly quiet.

Having heard our classmates thoughts, opinions and queries it has allowed us to think about the changes and adjustments we would like to make in order to make our thriller more successful and to specifically relate to the conventions of a thriller. Taking into account our feedback, we will thoroughly consider our sound and think about the title of our thriller.
