Evalution Post Introduction

My brief was to make an opening scene to a thriller film, which should be two minutes long. My group consisted of Harry Hyett, Hannah Mahoney and myself. There were many roles in the production of my opening scene, and each one was important for the production of the opening scene. There was the role of actor and actress which was very important to showing the audience the narrative of the opening sequence. The role of director, which is important for the production of the opening scene as without a director there wouldn’t be any order or purpose to the opening scene as the rest of the group needed instructions from the director, such as where to stand in each shot, what camera angle to use and what lighting to use for each shot. The role of producer is another vital role for the production of the opening scene as the producer, whose role is to help supervise the production of the opening scene, and having an important input into the way the film is made. Another role in the production of the opening scene was costumes and make up, this role was important as it gives each character a personality and can build the relationship between the characters on screen and the audience, which is vital for thriller films for there to be a tense atmosphere. Editors of the film make sure the final copy of the opening scene is well presented and carries forward the ideas of the narrative right through to the audience. This is why the role of editor is so important. Director of photography was another important role as they had the job of recording the entire opening scene and was in charge of the way each shot was made, they followed instructions from the director but also added input into the shots themselves, this is why this role was very important to the production of the opening scene. The screenplay writer was in charge of managing the narrative of the opening sequence and the events on screen, without a screenplay writer there wouldn’t be a narrative for the opening sequence, this means that this role is very important. The job of the music co-ordinator was to manage the music that would be added to the opening sequence at the editing stage and to mix the music into the openin g sequence so that it adds an atmosphere to the opening sequence, so this made it a very important role in the production of the opening sequence.

I had three roles in the production of the opening sequence, actor, music co-ordinator and producer. I was responsible for the music that was used in the final cut of the opening sequence, the production of the opening sequence going to plan, and with the role of actor, my responsibility was to stay in character, which would make my character and the opening sequence more believable for the audience.

As a group I feel that we worked well throughout the production of the opening sequence to a thriller film. We all had roles to play in the production and every member of the group participated in the production.

Overall I feel that I have made a successful thriller film, as it has an engaging narrative, which has a suspenseful atmosphere throughout, this is due to the work that our group put into the opening sequence, and the group working well together. The atmosphere that was sustained throughout the opening sequence was a suspenseful atmosphere, and the narrative was also unique and engaging for the audience.
