Construction - Non Diegetic Music

Non-diagetic sound is the sound that is only the audience can hear. It is there to make the audience feel a certain way usually in a thriller it is too create tension, drama and suspense. We have decided to use this music as we felt it will give our film a eerie feel to it. This first music you hear is going to be used whilst Danika (Xhuliana) is circling Mia's (Elidona), Jane's (Shannon) and Lily's (Hannah) faces. We have chosen this section of the film to have this music in because we want the audience to think its Danika singing it and feel nervous about what will happen next. For the flashback we are using the second section of the music clip. We feel this is low key enough so you can here the speech but gives it the feeling we want the film to have. We have used other music in the murder scene. It is a vintage tension track that we feel is suitable for the scene. It builds up suspense and makes them sit on the edge of their seats. We have also used a heartbeat sound for when the phone call is taking place. This heartbeat gets faster as we zoom into Danika's face. This builds up the tension and makes the audience want to know what Danika will do to the other girls in the rest of the film.

Construction- Blooper Reel

This is our blooper reel, which is showing our mistakes during the filming process, some examples include uncontrollable laughter, forgetting how to act or lines, unexpected situations ( e.g falling over, pen running out), but out of all of them the most common was uncontrollable laughter as it was our first time and we were not used to being in a situation that required us to be worried/serious and for me(Xhuliana) to act like a killer. However we worked past the mistakes and kept on re-filming certain sections until we got it right and eventually we found it easier to overcome the mistakes that we were making.

Reflection- Working Progress-

During the planning of our film we needed to find out what our target audience was going to be. We found out that woman watch more thriller films than men. This means we need to compose a story which contains story lines that women can relate to. We thought of ideas such as sexy men, love story's, friendship and a situation like a sleepover for the setting. The next figures we had to find were what age range went to see the films. We found out that teenagers are the most likely to go and watch a thriller film so we came up with ideas to attract the younger audience, such as; teenagers in the film, teenage themes and settings where teenagers would recognise. This was quite a simple task as the results were easy to find and as we are teenage girls ourselves we came up with ideas really quickly.






This task is where we were exploring the psychology media. We were finding out why people watch thriller films. The reason behind this research is to adapt our film to the way people watch them. This has helped us structure our film in a way that will appeal to the audience.

As a group we have created reflection blog posts where we are looking back at moments, shots and scenes we have made throughout our filming. It's explaining what shots we have used and why. It also explains the plot in short as well. This was an easy task to do as we just had to explain what we had thought up and filmed.












Our storyboard was a vital piece of planning as it helped us know what order we were having the scenes in. We had to take pictures from the shots and angles we wanted to use in the actual film. It took us a while to get them correct but in the end it was completed successfully. The caption explains what each picture is showing and what is going on in the shot.

Finally the picture on the left displays our blogpost about general work. It explains what other work we have been doing during the filming and planning. The work has been long but we have worked as a team and got all the work done by the due date.
