| Setting Up The Camera |
We felt that after the edit that the shot duration was slightly longer than we expected, and that we did not have enough of a variety of camera angles. To rectify the issues we thought that we could of used shown more intracly pieced together shots, so that we could edit it together using invisible editing techniques.
Tension was something that we wanted to lay the foundations of our thriller upon, and I think that the sequence created tension, because of the long shot durations combined with the extreme close ups. From looking at a audiences reaction, we could tell that they wanted to know what was next, and why this girl is giving such a straight face whilst doing her makeup.
When shooting we struggled to get close up to the subject, due to the camera built in lens, we would loose focus if we went so close in, so we had to compromise and go a as close as possible without loosing focus. One person recommended just cropping the footage, but when it comes to footage I always believe that it is best to get the best possible quality as possible, especially with the shot were the lipstick is being painted on, because it gives this grain free view of the lips, with the beautiful, and unnerving shine.We came to the decision that we should use a macro lens so that we can get close to the subject without loosing
focus, or clarity.
After editing the clip we noticed that we had 15 seconds short off of the given time, to add to the time we should use more shots that allow the audience to see for definite that she is at the location against her will.
We all agreed that we shot of used a wider variety of angles, so that the sequence will be more fluid in viewing, and to allow for invisible editing.
Overall we felt as if we made the sequence seem very creepy, and also creating a huge amount of tension from hiding a large amount of information until the end.

Slightly short reflection. However you are clear about what you thought went well, and what to do with your thriller. Interesting points made about camera work, and like that you are also reflecting on the edit. Further detail and more subject terminology would help make this a strong post. Good use of pictures.
