me,zoe and naima'sfirst media project

Today in media we edited our video of interviewing people asking them about thrillers. This was very interesting because we had to ask many different people what their favourite thriller was, what they liked about thrillers and whats good about the thriller genre.


For this research we got many different answers, some people said that they liked the way the thrilller builds up suspense and tension so therefore it makes a thriller good. Other people said they liked the way thrillers always have a mystery that you have to find out.


During our editing we did many different transitions and these made our video interesting because there was many different transitions such a 3D dimensions which made this effective because there were many different shapes and we also dissolved the videos.

The Software and Equipment

During our lesson today in media we got taught how to set a camera up for our short thriller movie. First of all we learned how to set a tripod up and we learned how to be responsible with the camera and tripod. Also during our double lesson we done a short clip of asking people what thrillers they like. We asked five or more people what their favorite thriller was and what they liked about the thriller genre. Most people said they like the way it build up tension and suspense.

We also used a tape and made a 5 minute video to do with thrillers. This helped people use technical terms like the Red Herring,Macguffin and Enigma. We also learned how to record people answering questions and how to edit their answers to the questions. In this video we asked a variety of differnt people what they liked about thrillers and most people said the way it builds suspense and tension.

My Favorite Thriller Movie

                                                My Favorite Thriller

My favorite thriller movie is Somebody Help Me. Somebody help me is a horror/thriller about two friends that head of with their girlfriends and other friends for a weekends stay at a cabin in the woods. After the couples settle in the cabin, things take a eerie turn, one by one the the group ends up missing or dead. while there are 4 left they go down to 2 and are forced to stick together to figure out who or what is behind the killings.  The murderer kills his victims slicing off parts or their body.

He starts off with with Barbara by having a part of her head sliced and he rips off Andrea's entire scalp and the sheriff has his throat slit. Also Barbara's boyfriend has his eyes and fingernails ripped out and Andrea's boyfriend has his teeth ripped out and then is smothered to death. Nicole dies from an asthma attack when the man didn't give Nicole her pump.

The killer's daughter Daisy sings 'ring a ring a roses' throughout the whole movie which is diagetic so therefore we can hear the little girl but the other characters can't other than herself. The killer's daughter helps Brendan free the others so at the end 3 of the teenagers end up dead. In the last scene the murderer and Daisy have their car searched and the policeman lets them go as Daisy sings 'ring a ring a roses'.

This is my favorite thriller movie because when i watched it for the first time it was a mystery to me who killed Brendan's friends because there was three different suspects and i had no clue who it could be and during the film Brendan and the gang start to figure out things about the murderer and they find out what his done and they found out he was in the newspaper and all the way through they find out who his killed and what job he used to have etc.
