Analysis: Previous Blog (R1-18)

The thriller video they produced was good. They used effective camera angles, for example, the point of view angle of the man on the ground. There is a good mix of hand-held footage, which makes the audience feel they are seeing it through the victims eyes, and tripod filming which gives the audience and clearer view of what is happening. The special effects, like the blood on his hand and the lag on the camera is effective and the blood on the hand is effective.

The soundtrack is contrapuntal to what is happening on screen. The music is quite up-beat, the music in thriller's tends to be low in tone but this video has quite a high pitch tone. The music doesn't really work with what is happening, and it would be better if it was a low tone and less repetitive especially when what is happening on screen is particularly violent. e.g when the man is holding a gun to his head. 

Their blog is well written. However, they don't go into a lot of detail or explain how they could improve their mistakes. They also do not have many screen grabs of the filming process or other resource material.
