Skills Audit

In the beginning of the AS year I would say my level of skills were amateur, but when we got into making and producing our 'Thriller' movies I feel my level of skill improved dramatically. This was because we were showed by our teachers how to use different hardware and software but also because we were actually making a product at the end of filming so I was very eager to learn ways in which will make my film the highest quality. In the AS year we started our research by watching different thriller opening for inspiration and analyzing them to say why we found them appealing. A lot of the opening I personally found the best was the ones which created suspense and had a wide range of different shots which kept me engaged which I like to input in any filming I do. I particularly liked the openings that played with the physiological mind frame of the audience as when watching I took a personal interest into what will happen to certain characters. Through analyzing these different opening, hearing from different directors and class discussions I also got other people perspectives which was really interesting as they were different to mine and it made me look at things from different angles to see where different people were coming from. This year its vital the camera shots are to the highest level and also the amount of close ups are used more then any other, also when choosing the song its not choosing about performing one of your favorite songs as it proved students who do that don't get the same ideas as if they were to do a song they were unfamiliar with because the song is fresh in your mind the idea range is wide!. The Digipak we will create will show the image or creation the artist feels most relates to him and the tracks on the Album, this is important as we also need to show the genre through this and in some cases have an image of the Artist themselves. My group also need to make sure that our Digipak relates to the target audience we are aiming the song at because different Digipaks appeal to different audiences.
