The combination of my Thriller poster and my actual film is very effective. My film is about a young girl struggling with something that she beleives is living inside her, this is connotated through music which is very slow, eerrie and dramatic. This is also shown through my poster by her being alone, looking down and in the dark with just a small coloured rose to brighten up the whole image. In terms of the emotion that was needed to carry out my film i wanted to portray the sadness and confusion that the character was feeling and reflect this onto the audience to create a sence of mystery. The confusion that i wanted to portray was whether she was protagonist or antagonist i showed this through my poster and i wanted to have her in black and white and the rose near her heart in colour. This was to give the audience a chance to decide for themselves whether they thought she was good or bad. The main theme throughout was her dancing so the mise en scene was very ballet which was shown in her costume in my poster. Overall i feel that both my poster and my film link well together and i beleive that the combination of them both together tells a story. I do feel that i could have taken a little longer on my poster to make it stand out more and made the image stand out with better picture quality.
From showing my film to the audience and after taking on board their feedback and what they feel about it i found that over all they liked the mistery that is converyed. I was worried to start of with that the plot and storyline was over complicated and hard to understand but i feel that with questions still being left unanswered at the end make it more effective and dramatic. I feel that i could have experimented a bit more with my poster and developed my skills further with different colour mixer's and light intensities. After showing my rough edit of my preliminary film the feedback was that there was to much and i was explaining the storyline with complex and un needed shots. So i took this onboard and removed some of the crash scenes to leave the question of did she kill her and what is her character really about? In the end i feel that this confusion and questions help the film to flow and add suspence to the thriller.
Over the duration of this preliminary film i have learnt to be a lot more by doing it independently especailly as this was my first film where this was my own idea that i had to create and edit myself. I know now the commitment and oragnisation skills that will be needed for my final film and want to improve how well i fit media and editing around my other subjects and other work. I have managed to roughly work out how long each stage takes now and will be able to manage my time much more efficantly next time. I have also learnt new skills when using adobe photoshop, this is how i created my poster which i have never used before. I found this incredibly useful and important and wish to comtinue to improve my skills on this programme. I have also managed to improve my editing skills, i am now much quicker and can do it completely dependently now. In the future i want to spend much more time on research and make sure i fully commit myself to the genre and portray this in the film throughout. I was happy with my storyline but for my final film want to perfect my skills on editing and camera work and also create a more dramatic and manageable storyline that is unique yet good. I have also improved in my camera work and script writing but still want to perfect all these skills i have learnt so that my final film is my best work and to the top of my ability!
