Two Minds

http://50thrillerproject08.blogspot.com/ this is a link to a the thriller opening project that we looked at and eveluated how well they have done.



The Clip its self is what some people could say is a good attempt. some of it is really well edited and the idea of the clip is good. but some shots are unesasery or do not work like the flikering bit in the first few seconds on the sequence it is edited to slow so it jsut look like there is a tehcnical problem and ruenes the mood. In the rough cut as the sequencs has been spead up i think the flickering effect work alot more effectively beaucse it has more pase. A very good seuqnce is the quick shot between beer bottles, pill, the spead up clock, hand writting, fire which they got the isparation from 'Usual Suspects' which is good they are refering back to there reaserch. I also like the shot of were the person looks in the mirror and the camera moves across to see a diffrent person there using the mirror to represent a parale world. finaly i like how iwth the new person they copy shots to the audience relize he is the same person. Over all it a good sequence but some stuff could of been left out and it didn't really grab the audience that they wanted to know more. Also they didn't really set teh scene in the clip all u saw was little thing that could be anywhere in the world.

The Reaserch was minnimal even thought they had 16 post filled with infomation they were in a group of four and that ment they all did four post each and they could of done more. with a few more visual items like videos. They could of look at more films for insparation then jsut the couple. For theres hundereds of Thriller movies and they only could look at one. What they did write was good it was very detailed and they knew what they where doing. They coverd all the need catagories like Story, Shot List, Props, Editing, progress diary, infomation that using in the film, developing film titles. So over all there reserch was good but there just wasn't enough to get them the mark they would of hoped
