2.  I researched the main conventions of thriller
films and the main narrative ideas in which
the most popular thrillers have.This helped to
think of our own ideas with using these as
starting points.
 What we wanted to create with our film was
keeping the audience engaged and making
them feel suspense as to what is going to
happen.

3.  We wanted to create a film that would create
many questions within the audiences mind to
begin with which would all be answered with a
climatic ending.To do this our idea was to
portray the theme of love and hate through a
woman who goes out of her mind and kills her
Ex and his new bride.We also thought about the
time period of our film as we wanted to create
an old fashioned film rather than something
modern as we thought it would be different and
interesting for the audience.

4.  We used both black & white and colour when editing our film.This
was because we felt like it would be interesting and different for the
audience, it also meant that during the black and white scenes
there wouldn’t be colour distracting from what was going on in the
film.
 Our main reason for using black and white was to link to the
narrative idea of the film being set in the 1900s and creating an old
fashioned look.

5.  The only sound in our film was one song running
throughout. We decided on this song as it had a soft
start which picked up slowly and then had a climatic
part which then softly died out.This fit perfectly with
our film. It also linked well to the thriller genre of our
film as it was heart racing music which would keep the
audience feeling tense.
 However if I could change anything I would add
different music over the coloured flashback scenes,
this is something that we were going to do however
we couldn’t make them flow well together therefore
we got rid of the other music completely.

6.  The title I decided to put in a calligraphy font this is
because it has connotations of an old style which
then links to the time out film was set. I also chose
calligraphy because the style is quite ‘fancy’ which
then links to the image on the poster as that is the
style of the wedding dress (also in the film).
 The font I used on the bottom half of the poster was
the same as used on other thriller posters, this was
because it would then fit well with the film as it was a
poster to promote the film rather than just being a
regular poster.
 If I could change anything I would make it so the
text stands out better as some of the writing is
slightly hidden due to the background image.

7.  The main colours I used in my poster and double page spread were Red,
White and Black
 White - to represent what a wedding should be like, white dress and pure,
however the irony is that that isn’t what the wedding was like at all.
 Red – to represent the blood in the film.The dress is covered in it, and also in
the final church scene all 3 characters are covered in it.The red also
represented the love which was in our film.The main antagonist had love for
the male character which was obvious during the flash back love scenes,
however she is filled with too much jealousy for his new bride that hatred
over comes.
 Black – to represent the hatred that the antagonist is filled with. Black also
has connotations with death which is present at the end of our film and also
mystery. Mystery is another key theme in our film, this is due to all of the
questions that the audience have in their minds whilst watching the film
which are then revealed at the end.

8.  The images from both worked well along with the film as they
were all taken whilst filming different scenes.
 The double page spread main idea was a behind the scenes
look at the film, therefore the images used fit perfectly. If I
could change anything I would have taken more photos whilst
filming as some of the photos that I have used are screenshots
from the film as I ran out of photographs to use.
 The images for the poster were both taken during the final
scene – the church scene. They were posed unlike the double
page spread photos however they still link well to the film.

9.  Film -The editing I felt was something that was
strong in our film.This is due to the backwards
feature.The part that I felt worked the best
were when the antagonist smudges her lipstick
in the woods scene, and when she lights the
candle in the bedroom scene.
 Poster –The images I felt worked well as they
were blended gradually together so that it
looked like the top image of the woman holding
the knife was over the 2 dead people in the
bottom image which then creates an idea of
what’s to come for the audience.
 Double Page Spread –The layout was
something that I felt was strong in this.This
was because I had the images spread out but
with one main image and also different pieces
of text set out across the page rather than just
one block of text because that doesn’t look
interesting to the audience. I also feel that the
idea behind the double page spread of ‘behind
the scenes’ fit well as it promotes the film as
well as being informative.

10.  In the film during the running scenes where
the antagonist is going from the house to the
woods I would make these clips shorter as
something they go on for too long and look
slightly novelty.
 I would also make the church scene go on for
longer, this is because it is the main part of
the film as it where the plot is revealed to the
audience and I feel that it ends slightly too
quickly.
