Half Term Workshop

Today our aim was to attend half term workshop to finish off our thriller video this would include putting our two viewpoints together (the stalker and mother and child), and also to make sound adjustments , I arrived late, to find that Cassie had made various improvements on our thriller, she had finished off putting all scenes together so they began to make sense. meanwhile I discovered that Ahmed did not arrive, and Abdul was continuously disruptive and did not show any interest in the work, and had to be warned to stop eating and disrupting other students who were hard at work. He had vaguely chosen any sound which was what he was assigned to do, which did not help us in our progress in the thriller and also he had not seen the thriller to be able to find a suitable soundtrack that accommodated it. Never the less Cassie and I continued to find sounds, these sounds were to emphasise  the view point of the mother and child, this sound were similar to a nursery rhyme and was very calm, quiet and repetitive  and the aim was to try and create empathy for the child particularly towards the end. Contrary to this the stalkers music was very dramatic and made you think that danger was ahead. This made the scenes come alive, making it easier for the audience to tell whether they were looking at the stalkers point of view or the mother and child. By the end of the lesson Cassie and I had managed to construct the thriller and put together two soundtracks that ran throughout the sequence.
