Results: 

Most of the data we collected were from males aged 18-25 who were our main target audience, and most of them understood and were interested in finding out more. They thought the titles were clear but not very clear, which is ideal as we wanted the titles to blend in a little into the clip. The responses were positive, but it is clear that improvements need to be made. It was pointed out that there is no soundtrack so we must ensure we add that, and the unwanted text should also be removed.

Individual Edit Evaluation

Here we discuss and compare our individual edits and how we aim to improve our film in our final edit and how we will split the workload. 

Difficulties whilst filming

Whilst we were filming we came across some difficulties which prevented us from filming. We discuss the problems we face and how we have resolved them. After shooting part of our film we were asked to leave so we resolved to finishing our shoot in the school parking lot without making the location known. Although the lighting is different in these shots we can adjust the lighting and make the locations blend using colour grading.

Final Script

This is our final script we will follow to create our film opening- it was built upon and improved by our original draft. We decided not the shoot the second part of our film due to the extra time we require and difficulty to get permission for our location- in which case only 2 of our 4 actors are required. This also means however that we can put more time and effort into the first part of our thriller opening and have a better outcome. The alterations from our original draft include a shot of the assistant walking out of the shot to create a more dramatic ending to the scene. It is from this shot this scene the audience will learn the mystery assassins power and control.
