I showed my first draft of A tainted love to an audience of 10 people. This was a rough edit with no music, transitions or changes in lighting.
The feedback i got was extremely helpful i now know what to do to make my film stand out. Some of the positive feedback's i got was that my shots were well framed and i also combined them well within my film which enabled it to flow.
I also got some useful improvements one of the main ones was my audio as i haven't yet edited this to make sure its smooth therefore it seems to loud and dominant in my film at the moment. I also need to add transitions to make my shots flow into one another better. They also wanted to see titles which i need to finish and add and i also need to add music that will engage the audience with the film more.
Overall i got really good feedback and now know what i should do to improve the quality of my film.

Main task- Radio Trailer script
V.O
(Man)
What happen's when the life your living is a lie, you have the constant feeling of regret, anger and pain but you don't no where from. You remember the time you were forced to forget in order for others to believe...
Sophia
Sometimes we underestimate the power of a smile, a touch a whisper. With you jack you make me feel special, i love you i truly do but something hurts deep inside. I feel anger and i just don't understand.
I've being these dreams, i dream of a man telling me about you, he tells me i must forget my old life in order to love you, in order to trap you and then i must kill you.
(sound of a gunshot)
(SOPHIA begins to scream)
Sophia
Jack! Wake up, what have i done what did i do.
(sound of a phone ringing)
Sophia
hello?
Man
Case is now closed
Sophia
(screams) who are you! who am i?
V.O
(Man)
Your reality is questioned your world falls apart with every moment that you begin to remember. Somethings missing, someones lying and somethings wrong.
case closed.
A tainted love out soon
Main Task- Creating new characters
My actors for Sophia Taylor and Jack Wright
Sophia
Sophie Batten plays the role of Sophia in my film a tainted love. I decided to use Sophie as my actress as i have worked with her before in my previous films and she is very easy to work with as well as being apart of a drama group.
She is also suited to the role of Sophia who has to play two different personalities one being in love with Jack and the other being strong and independent when she portrays her role as an assassin.
Jack
Jack is played by Hisham Bryan, i felt that he was well suited to this role as he suits the theme of an action/thriller. He is also very easy to work with and has past experience in drama and therefore copes to difficult situations well. He also has chemistry with Sophie and therefore meant that he could carry of portraying the romantic scene at the introduction of my film.
Main Task- Music idea's
Thriller music- idea one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rumJ4USRWi4&feature=related
I feel that by using this type of music for my thriller will add to the suspense and terror that i want to build up. This will be played throughout two of my main scenes, the bedroom scene where she shoots jack and also the scene where she is being assigned the case in the car.
Thriller music- idea two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2fwY99c7GQ
This music is slightly less dramatic than the one above. I feel its more eerie and therefore may not fit into the scene as well as my first idea. However the music does create an atmosphere that enables the audience to engage more with the film as it builds up the tension which is what i am looking for.
Thriller music- idea three http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94blEBYnpnk
This music is a slower in pace compared to the other two but has the same effect and delivers tension suspense and emotion which is what i want the music to portray and illustrate.
Thriller music for romantic beginning- idea one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44YGF9fmEEo&feature=related
At 0.51 it begins with a slow piano section which sounds soothing and emotional yet still has that eerie sense to it as though something is about to happen which is still very important within my thriller. This also creates a story and demonstrates the love that the two characters have for one another.

At 0.30 on wards the beat begins to pick up and i would be using this section if i were to choose to use this idea for my introduction. It portrays a very emotional and romantic side and will show the couple being in love, however it is also very sad and the slow pace makes it very dramatic showing that something is wrong or something is being hidden which ties in well with the plot.

This music is the only one that has voices as well as music however they are very quiet and therefore will not take any attention away from the film. This music is more emotional rather than romantic but it's very slow and creates an atmosphere which will enable a plot to unfold.

Main Task- Radio Analysis
Radio Trailers have to be dramatic in order to get the audience to listen and engage in what they are saying. This is essential as without the aid of something visual it may be difficult to get the same effect as a movie trailer would do if it was shown on television.
Radio Trailers are used rarely now a days however many series and movies have developed and broadcast their films over radio.
For an effective radio trailer i feel that i need to include the following~

For an effective radio trailer i feel that i need to include the following~
- A voice over that attracts attention therefore i need a deep and powerful voice in order to portray the drama and tension in their voice
- Parts of my script in my main film in order to provide snip-its of the plot and the outcome of my story line
- An effective tag line to begin and end the radio trailer that will remain in their minds
- sound effects of a phone ringing, a car engine and a gun shot to engage the listeners to feel as if they are truly there and therefore heightens the suspense and makes them want to watch it to find out the true story
- bring a sense of mystery so that not all of the story is told leaving unanswered questions that the listeners will want answers to
- dramatic music that brings tension and plays well with the script

Main Task- First draft of editing
This is the first draft of my edit for my film a tainted love. There are no transitions, music or special effects which will obviously make a dramatic difference to how my film appears to the audience. I also need to adjust the lighting and effects of my individual shots to make them suit the thriller genre.
This first rough edit will be shown to the class for feedback to ask about my storyline and how well they understand the main plot. This will also give me some indication as to what i should do next in terms of editing or if there are any scenes i should re-do or move around.
