Production Changes

From our first production idea, I feel we have made a few changes to develop our thriller into a smoother, more professional production.

As a group we have made specific changes to improve the overall outcome of our production. We have taken a few things out and added innovative, daring ideas to try to improve the quality of our production. One thing that we have taken out is the typewriter scene, which was placed at the beginning as we felt that it didn’t hold the tension and made our thriller seem very dull, we took this out and replaced it with our titles, these were originally simply going to be placed at the end. We spent a lot of time thinking about our titles and realised that they worked too well to just be put at the end, so we decided that we would cut them up and include them in the opening scene, we feel this has work out effectively and helps keep the tension high.

We have also had many discussions about our chosen music, we started with ‘tiptoe through the tulips’, but when putting it against out video we realised it again didn’t quite work, for the simple reason that it was too upbeat. We tried to find a different track but then came up with the idea of slowing the track down to give it more of an eerie effect, this worked and fitted in well, we then left some of the non-diegetic sound in, such as footsteps and added diegetic sound, like the breathing on the spy shots to build up the tension.
