Final Cut

This is our final version of our piece Night Falls Fast, by Ewan Leslie and Eliza Teale

Overall, we were happy with the way our Media product turned out. The action of our Protagonist running and panicking to escape the antagonist was followed through in the high speed editing and cross cutting.
This is also the final version of the music, which we were very happy with. we layered different atmospheric sounds along with the soundtrack to make our piece more thrilling and intense.
We used Cinematic Booms as well for some atmospheric effects, like our end titles.

If I were to improve my piece I'd like to have had more time to film and establish more professional locations so that i could use more lighting with some interior close up shots. This would help establish the characters more.

The task of creating only a 2 minute opening sequence was very difficult, if we had had a longer time frame, we would have been able to establish the characters more. From our audience research we found that they valued establishing a connection with the characters in thrillers as it got them more emotionally invested in the story and it therefore became more thrilling. However, in our opening sequence we think that the fast cutting chase sequence theme of it is exciting and thrilling, and we hope that leaving the narrative slightly unknown would work to make our audience want to continue watching.
