Decisions and Revisions

Firstly, our group started with researching horror / thriller films and their openings. This helped us gain an understanding and a better knowledge of the genres codes and conventions. With the knowledge from our groups research we used the codes and conventions to plan. This involved looking at our research and ideas to plan a storyboard which would help us visualise our media product. We used the codes and conventions of horrors and thrillers we researched to brainstorm ideas and draw a accurate storyboard which is detailed with shot angles and timings. Our group then moved on to the filming stage of production. From the previous research and storyboarding it helped us save a lot of time with setting up camera angles and what scenes to shoot next. Our group have used our storyboard accurately which has made our visualised product a real media opening which looks professional due to our group using, developing and challenging real horror and thriller products. From the filming stage, we moved onto the post-prodcution which involved editing and finalising our media product. From the filming stage, it has helped us edited our footage effectively and quickly as we had the correct timings and angle in each shot / scene. The editing involved cutting clips to make our opening flow, adding music, adding the title and names. This stage of production made our final title opening look professional and advanced. Overall myself and my group are extremely pleased with the development of our opening and our final media product.
