This includes your use of camera techniques, your use of blogger,
your use of prezi (if you used it), the internet (used for research for
example) final cut editing
techniques, garageband, photoshop
(if you used it), social networking
(if you used it)
Throughout
the 2 years I believe that I have improved my media skills rapidly. I think one
of my main strengths has been using blogger by displaying each post I write
about in a blog type of way, I would add pictures, videos and highlight key
points to try to make the blog looking as interesting as possible, and this
also makes it easier and more enjoyable for people to read; we also made a
video of me Ella and Folly discussing ideas for what to do next, I believe this
is a really interesting and fun way to make the blog looking like a proper blog
and I personally would find it easier to watch the video rather than read posts
of writing. Something that I feel that I struggle with and isn’t my strengths
is using different camera techniques to make the final video look impressive,
Ella and Folly were the ones who helped decide what type of camera techniques
we should use, as I would’ve chosen the basic camera shots (e.g ELS, LS, CU)
throughout the whole sequence like we did for our foundation portfolio; but
with their help we made lots of really creative camera techniques, to make our
final video look really professional. When using final cut to edit our final
video I found it very easy to edit our film and add different diegetic and non-diegetic
sound. One problem I had with final cut pro was that the sound that we recorded
didn’t record properly so therefore we had to use the sound from the camera
that we used to film our final film, so the sound on our video wasn’t as clear
as we would’ve wanted it to be.
In what
ways did you try to be original? How successfully did you balance the use of
standard conventions of thrillers with the aim to be different or original?
Eg consider
techniques used, narrative, character, mood, sound, themes, titles etc

When we had to research different thriller openings back in January I feel as if I didn't go into enough depth and when I read it back it feels very rushed, but analysing the thriller openings really did help me with what ideas I would want to use in my thriller opening, looking at the videos really made me realise what ideas I did and didn't want to use.
We tried to be as creative as possible with adding posts to our blogs we thought it talking about our ideas in videos would be much more interesting than just writing them on the blog, it makes it 100 times more interesting for the audience to really engage into what we are talking about.
Post
production:
This refers to the entire editing process (sound and vision).
What
specific skills
have you individually developed in this area?
What do
you need to work on?
How successfully did you work on sound and vision together?

Which specific conventions of the thriller genre did
you choose to use in your product? How successfully did you use them? What were the reasons for not being able to use
them?
