Location Photos and Filming Evidence

Rough cut

For our thiller while we were creating the video we uploaded a rough version of our work so we could collect feedback on what people liked and dident like about it. The feedback we got back was that people liked our variety of shots but wernt to keen on the story as well as the quality of our video in some places.

The footage we showed this people has been embedded below.

To fix our criticisms that we received we decided the best way to fix would be to reshoot the footage, because of this it also meant we could change our story.

Anamatic

This is our anamatic for our thriller, we created a anamatic as a mockup of what our video will look like when its filmed. We used some sound effects in the anamatic as well as trying to make sure that the clips were about the same length in the anamatic as they would be in the actual video. We have also included a commentry as well on the video explaining what is going on in the video.

Dummy Footage - Picking up the Keys

In our thriller opening we have a shot where the man picks up his keys to leave the house, At the time of planing for our storyboard we were unsure of what shot we wanted and as a result we created some dummy footage to see what shot would look best for when we shot the actual shot used in our opening.

Camera shots

Before we shot our video, we had a practice using different camera angels that could be featured in our video. There is no audio to this video

We liked the close ups of the door handle and the feet shot, so we were going to use these shots in our video.
