The Final Prelim

My group has now finished editing the entirety of our prelim task and it has been uploaded to youtube it can be viewed below.


After we made the prelim we should it to people in our target audiences and got them to give us feedback on it so we could take it to account when we make our final film trailer. And here are the results: 

Callum P:  I really like the editing that has been used. The transitions from the cuts were really professional. I would say… shorten it a bit maybe makes the transition of you going up the stairs quicker to save time

Tamzin: I don’t know if there is anything to improve… there’s a lot of good shots and angles in the film. To improve you could shorten some scenes

Amber: I really liked the editing and the transitions were really good as well it was conventional to the horror genre. To improve you could improve the way some characters react to make them or realistic.

Deli: I think that the bit where ash is running I think it could have been more fast paced to fit with the built in tension other than that I think it’s really good all the other editing and camerawork is really well done.

Overall I believe that the filming and editing went very well. Our intentions were to create a short but terrifying film which we did through the use of mise-en-scene as we made the room where the antagonist is first encountered pitch black to make him more sinister. And to go alongside the only light source that we used cam from a phone light so when the villain was encountered the light would make them look more menacing. 

One of the better techniques that we experimented with during the prelim is the idea of the villain being able to teleport similar to famous Slasher villain like Freddy Krueger and Pennywise. So to do this we filmed several shots of the villain walking up the stairs with each shot having him be at different parts of the stairs slowly making his way up. We then put these scenes together and applied several video filters to hide the shots cutting together as we made it look like the video was glitching out similar to what is seen in The Ring (2002).
