Improvements

After looking at the feedback, we have took on board the weaknesses of our thriller opening 'The Last Chapter'. We have looked at the weaknesses and have decided how we are going to improve our final cut.

Our weaknesses and how we are going to improve:

  • The final scene where the victim is walking through the park. We have decided to improve this by filming the scene later on at night to make the audience feel more tension as the darkness equals a sense of mystery. The noisy background sound was also weakness on our rough cut, and to improve this we would either have to mute the sound out on our editing system 'imove' or redo the scene, and we have decided to redo it as we want to redo it at night. Also, people commented on our camera shots, movement and angles, they said that we could have used a fuller range of different one instead of just a long shot. We have decided to improve this by doing  long shot, point of view shot and also a high angle shot.
  • The credits looked to still and unrealistic so we have decided to listen to our audience feedback and to re-film it by using a hand held camera, instead of it being a picture. 
  • The scene where the serial killer is walking through the gate into the garden, we got a lot of comments saying this was a good match on action shot, however we filmed it on two different days which meant it went from night to day. By improving this it means that we have to re-film it so that it is all at night to make it realistic and seem natural.
  • The final weakness which we had to improve was the music. Due to the music not being in time with the scenes, we will have to re look at it after we have filmed all of our scenes again and make it fit to the scenes so it makes it look realistic and so it creates tension.
