During this week a group of Year 13 A2 Media students came into our class to help us start the planning of our thrillers, as they did the same thing last year. They broke down the Advice into "DO'S" and "DON'T".
They advised us to get into groups that would best benefit the work, rather than personal relationships. They claimed that the people who did this got the higher grades as the other groups found it as just a "fun" task.
They also told us that planning is vital, we should start to plan our ideas now rather than leaving them later in the course, people who did this rushed their work and were not credited. When it comes to the filming the 2 minute opening to a Thriller; we have to make sure everything is kept the same in cuts, silly mistakes can be made such as differential weather, different costumes and different locations these all make the piece look unprofessional.
Props are very crucial the Year 13's explained, when selecting props we have to make sure it suits the genre and intended effect.. not to subvert it. For example, using a butter knife in a Crime thriller would look silly and would not suit the piece.
They summarised the talk by saying that this a great opportunity for us to express our skills and get creative, it will get hard and stressful at times they explained, but it will be rewarding and our efforts will be recognised.
