update/changes made on our coursework

My group and I have decided to record a video about our changes and updates we've made in our opening, instead of just typing it out as we wanted to come across as unique. We also felt to improve our ability to communicate and the technology used in our coursework as we want to have a range of items used in our blogs e.g. prezi's, slideshare, powerpoints etc.


(If there are any technological problems viewing this video or any difficulties understanding what we have said in the video, simply read the written version of the changes made below, thank you.)

There has been a few changes made in our film opening because as a group we felt this was best and we were faced with circumstances where we couldn't meet in our original ideas, so we felt changes were obligatory. We have removed the car scene from our opening as we couldn’t get hold of a car to use to drive Lisa off in.
So we came up with a new idea instead of dragging Lisa out and putting her into the car, she will still be dragged out of the party but you will see the gangster putting white tissue over Lisa’s mouth which is meant to seem as it contains chloroform and we meet this target by showing her pass out. We decided on this idea as it's still as effective as our other idea and it also links into our next scene perfectly, as when she passes out the screen will go black and the next scene will consist of Lisa being tied up, this makes perfecrt sense as when somebody is poisoned they usually wake up in a location which is unknown to them.
This meets the codes & conventions of a thriller as suspense is very significant in a thriller, and the use of posioning Lisa builds suspense as the audience are not aware on why or what Lisa has done for this to be happening to her, so this is effective as it leaves our audience wondering and it also meets our aspect of our crime thriller as poisoning somebody and kidnapping them is a crime.
Although we liked the idea of the car scene we weren’t too disappointed when we couldn’t find a car to use as we feel the chloroform idea works just as well and we improvised which shows we can as a group think on our feet and use our initiative well.
