Watch Your Back ASMedia Thriller

Analysis of past students work

Positives
There was a cliffhanger at the end of the film as you didn't know what happened to the boy in the closet.

Negatives
In the shot of the bedroom, the lighting was very poor and there was a silhouette of everything in there.
They was acting out a mugging in the middle of the day, when it was light.
Continuity error- when the person was coming down the stairs he came down them twice.
The editing was basic and the fonts they used were very simple and basic.

From analysing this video i have realised that i need to concentrate on the small parts of my film including continuity editing and lighting to make sure that the film looks interesting and it does not look fake. Also when editing i should try and make it look as interesting as possible  and not use any dull fonts for the opening titles. Also we should film our film in the dark to make it look more shocking and intense.

Filming

We tried to re-film one of our last scenes but after much discussion we have decided to cut that scene out which turned out better and scarier.

Filming and editing

This is were most of our filming took place at canning town. This was a good location as it was a very dark and had lights and smoke machine so we was able to add effect.
