Tor: The difference in pace of the editing is effective as it drives forward the action of the sequence in the violent clips. I like the chiaoscuro choice of lighting as it highlights the juxtaposition between the light-hearted way in which the boss is talking, and the violence that he is talking about. However I think the size of the font could be smaller as large text is not generic to thriller texts.
Lily- I thought this was a very clever use of cutting to diguise the violence in your sequence. The sound effects also helped create a more menecing scene. A very well put together mise-en-scene.
Gio - i thought this was one of the best sequences I've seen, the music and the mise-en-scene were very well suited with the sequence. The camera angles I think were the most contributing thing, this since they created a very realistic look.
Tom - very good opening sequence nice use of tilt and tracks. nearly the best sequence. nearly... good use of mise en scene.
Steph: Fantastic, although i would say the titles were a bit blocky for a conventional thriller but i like the way the piece challenges the usual conventions of a thriller.

jayhurtwood09 (2 days ago)Reply\: I thought this was edited very well - how it cuts from Jason speaking to the fighting and killing. This was very effective and I thought it captivated the audience - making them want to continue watching the film.

Over the last few weeks I have been editing my thriller. I found it very difficult to use as i had very little knowledge of Final Cut Pro. But after sitting down and learning the various techniques i.e. cutting and fitting them in smoothly, i began to grasp it quite quickly. I have discovered that it is not as easy as it looks to create a thriller, even though our footage was quite strong.
We decided to cut the long monologues of 'The Boss' and intercut them with the action going on around him. We decided to create a violent enviroment and to show this we used a greeny sort of lighting to suggest this. Adding the music was very tricky, we tried using a song first of all to see how it would fit in with the footage, we realised that certain parts of the song fittted in well. We therefore decided to speed some of the footage up and some footage down.
Another problem that occured was how we were going to show the opening shot to the audience. We tried various types of dissolve tools to try and create a sense of scary atmosphere. We also tried to have The Boss's voice appear before he is seen. This would be an effective start to the thriller, as it would provide an enigma and a clever introduction to his character.

However, as we added the music into our opening sequence we were told it was perfectly suitable but it was 'copy right' therefore we took the music track out and experimented with different sounds at crucial points of the sequence. This slowed our thriller down and made it more earie rather than fast paced. We also imported screams and an 'arm crunch' so that it was more graphic for the audience.
