Thriller Test Footage

To get ourselves prepared to create our thriller film we thought it would be a good idea if we tested out some key shots that will be included in our Thriller film. We wanted to do this because it will help determine if we will be capable of using these shots in parts of our film.

The shots we did were the establishing shot, tracking shot and two clips with point-of-view shots. We will need these shots, for example the establishing shot for showing the location and forest which is crucial to our clip. The tracking shot to show the victim running through the forest and point-of-view shot to show the view of the attacker.

Because our clip showed a lot of brightness which made it seem like it wasn't a thriller. To fix this we used video filter editing tools. The tool we used was the Colour Corrector. We could change the strength/brightness of the whites/blacks and mid-tones/saturation. Our main correction was to remove saturation from the clip so it had a black and white feel to it which made it seem a lot darker. We also slowed down the clip to 70% as this give it extra disorientation which is key in a thriller.
