Examiner For A Day

Last lesson we looked at last years, year 12's openings to thrillers and looked at what grades they were rewarded for their work. Since seeing what grades they have got it’s made me feel more confident in what our group could achieve if we put in the work like the examples we watched put in. One the other hand this has made me feel a bit scared as I don't have as much experience on the editing software as many others do. Therefore I believe that when it comes to editing I won’t be able to execute the techniques as well as these examples, but as the examples showed you can achieve great grades with some mistakes in the editing.



In this video 'Peek a Boo' the start is really good with the choice of colour and sound but as you carry on watching the choice of night time was a bad choice in my opinion because this group has tried to cover up the daylight scenes with the black and white filter over the film but this group executed some good techniques ect and got rewarded 44 marks for this which was a B grade.

Audience



Our thriller is set in the modern day and set to be aimed at the young adult range (15-24 years of age). We aim to give the audience a sensation feeling that they can relate to everyday life when they share a conspiracy/scare mongering post on the social media platform, Facebook. We believe that this thriller will use the gratification theory, where the subject you watch can affect how you think and feel about specific things or people. As this topic is relatable to the younger generation, it will perhaps make them think twice about what they post on Facebook or any other social media. We also believe that our thriller will alert people to create a personal identity towards the short film as they may think about what they share on their social media pages in which many others are able to see; noticing how this can affect the people by changing the way in they think about how posts on social media can have a vast impact on the people who look and even re-share their posts.
