Techniques

Holding a steady shot: All shots were taken with a tri-pod, which enable us to kept a steady camera. If the camera was to shake, then this would ruin the whole filming and the consumer would not be able to focus on what is going on.

Framing a Shot: Furthermore, the positioning of the antagonists in the flashback shows how gradually he is being outcast by the group of friend. In one shot he is in the center of two friends which show he will come between them. Also, the position the camera in the center so that at one point the that actors walk past each other, we could see the reaction of both. We also centered the camera, so that match-on-action could be seen, as so that we could see both character. Also, an over the shoulder shot was use, in which it was positioned so we could see what was processing when the antagonists arranged the photo and when he was holding us the photo, so we could show who he was killing next.

Using a variety of shot distances: we used different shots, which each show information of the actions, and can also show emotion. We used long shots, to give a wide view of what was happening in the shot. Mid shot, which was used to show interaction. Close Up were also use to show emotion of the characters as well as Extreme Close Up which really can show the emotion the actors are portraying.

Shooting appropriate material: the material shot was relevant to thriller, following the genre of thriller. We didn't films such things like hopping birds or a whole romance scene, as it is not appropriate, as they are suitable for a romantic genre. We filmed what was relevant to what we wanted to produce, in the genre; thriller.

Editing: in the editing process we used a variety of shots including dissolve, overlap, wash out and fade to black. Moreover, we used effects such as a flash and the use of colour; red, filled the whole shot of the antagonist's close up to show his angry and that he is dangerous. The editing was slow in some part to build suspense, and at the beginning to establish the protagonists and antagonists.

Mise-en-Scene: our antagonists was dressed in black, to show he was our dark and dangerous character. our protagonists is also in dark clothing, however, it is more uniform based as she is in a school environment. The lockers and corridor establish that we are in a school or college environment. The characters were also in the shot, so we could show what was happening. In one shot we place a table with photos, in which the antagonists made a college. This showed that he was looking back, deciding who to kill next.

Using sound: No diegetic sound was not often used, otherwise this would have ruined the effect and could ruin the project, the only diegetic sound used was the sound of the tearing and the falling arm, which was use for effect. On a whole, we used non-diegetic sound, which was the track. The music was suspenseful and quite dramatic which worked well with the series of shots.
