Todays Lesson

Todays lesson was really good. Gerard showed us some examples of thrillers that students had filmed before. They were all good in their own ways but I liked one in particular. It was one where the group used cimematography, sound and editing really well and the filming was also really good. These videos gave me and my group some ideas for what we should include in our opening sequence and about what we shouldnt include. After looking at the videos I realised that most of them used songs aslo known as music track. However I believe that this becomes quite boring after a while therefore I am looking at doing music score where I will be coming up with my own sound which goes with what is happening in the opening sequence of the thriller. I also want to add some diegetic sound and some non-diegetic sound because I want the music in our thriller to sound like it has been done by a real sound artist. I am now going to look at some examples of detective thrillers so that I can get some ideas on the sound to use. After this I will be looking at different types of sound in thriller movies.
