Preliminary Evaluation

During our preliminary we had to know about what goes into a thriller, such as suspense. As this was our 2nd preliminary so there wasn't much else we could learn, we just had to put the skills we had already aquired into this and hopefully show all the key requirements such as establishing shot and continuity in a more professional way.
We had difficulties with the filming due to a restricted area (college grounds) and people being around whilst trying to film causing disturbance and unwanted background noise but this could be sorted out during the brief editing process.
For the preliminary Micro elements such as mise-en-scene were taken into account, due to the restriction of the area, there wasn't that much we could do but the part where you find out where the banging and shouting is coming from is set in a dark room and darkness is a connotation of bad/evil, giving the impression this wasn't a good situation. The sound was also crucial, the diegetic sound you hear of the person screaming and banging is also key and adds to the thrillery feel of our preliminary due to not knowing where the sounds coming from.
