Self Evaluation on Suspense Sequence

What went well:

  • Our wide use of camera angles and different shots were effective together and made good transitions particularly our last shot which introduced our title.
  •  We were able to merge different shots into individual actions taking place in order for the audience to develop better awareness of the character's surroundings. For example, when the hand was going along the books we cut to a extreme close up shot in between the same over the shoulder shot.
  • Our use of the ticking noise with a slight pause in between each three ticks worked unexpectedly well at building suspense and seemed to time well with the whole sequence.

What we could improve:

  • We need to manage our time more efficiently as we ran short of time to implement more audio files and the title fading in at the end.
  • Add more filter effects onto the clips to give an even more darker and suspenseful atmosphere.

Conventions of print adverts.

Image
Z-line: The way the audience is drawn across the advertisement. Rule of thirds: When the advert is split into 9 sections, the middle section, in the second third, is where the audience is naturally drawn to. Headings and Subheading: Used to signify a title of a whole page/article and to title smaller subjects within a page/article. Very commonly larger than all other text. Serif font: Small additions to letters in a font. Formal. Sans-serif font: No small additions to letters in a font. Informal. Lexis: The choice of language. Mode of address: The type of way it addresses a person. Bold, vintage and exaggerated.  Target audience: housewife. The colour red expresses the happiness and affection as it relates to romance.
