Evidence of editing

Evidence of filming

SCRIPT!

We have decided to keep the majority of the sequence silent to emphasise the tension and suspense. The only part of the sequence with dialogue is when the tension is at its highest which is when the female character triggers the male characters anger causing the female character to become scared and desperate to be unharmed. Also, the non diegetic music will be a big part of building tension and also screams from the female character will help to increase the thriller aspect.

Thriller Title Ideas

We have many ideas for the title of our thriller. However, we have not decided on a final idea yet because we have been discussing which title to chose from and have asked for feedback from the public.


Here are our ideas:
Open Wound
Damaged and Distraught
ALICE
Trapped
Bruised
Battered
Broken
Survivor
Abuser
Stalker


We have finally decided on the title "Survivor." This is because we believe it amplifies the struggles and trauma the female character, Alice, has experienced and how she still manages to survive.

Sound Planning - Sofia

In order to create tension and suspense we need to compose dramatic music including string instruments. We will be using Garage Band which I am able to use because I have had experience with the software. The use of dramatic music will cause the audience to feel anxious and its a good representation of the thriller genre. In an opening sequence of a thriller film there needs to be non-diegetic music to grab the audiences attention and to entertain them immediately.

We will use the sound of the plate falling to the floor, screams and the door shutting because they are all diegetic sounds that do not need to be changed. However, if the sounds are not loud enough then we may have to edit them to make them louder and more effective. I think it would be a good idea to enhance some of the sounds to show the importance of what is happening in the scene. This will shock the audience and keep them focused on the opening.

There are many tutorials on YouTube on how to create music from Garageband. I will be looking over these during the weekend and make some notes which will help during post production. I may begin to create some music in the next few days so I can practice and create some really effective background music for our opening sequence.
