After uploading the rough copy of our Thriller 'Runner' yesterday we asked our friend Sam in the year above (who did his thriller last year) to watch what we've done so far to see his reaction and listen to any tips/improvements he has for us.

Saturday was our final day of filming.It was along day as we had to film the start and ending of the thriller with alterations due to time constraints and one actor (Dalton) who could not come to any filming after the first session. This will have quite an impact on the quality of
our thriller as we did have to change the story to accommodate the disappearance of a character but we've adjusted it as best as we can. We also experienced a major problem of the camera dying. I'd fully charged the battery but only had one so after approximately 3 hours of filming we were in a desperate rush while the camera was flashing red. It was a great relief at 4:30 after 3 bus rides, one lunch break, several strange looks from the public, a few scrapes and grazes and waking up at 8 am when we finally declared the filming complete.
We've used two songs as the soundtrack to our thriller to narrate different scenes.
First Track
The first track is used to narrate the runner heading up the street on his own toward the two government teenagers. we got it for this website. It's called 'Like swimming' from the Leaf album.
Second track
The second track is used to narrate the chase scene of the three characters.
Me and Ben did some background research as to how to give an atmosphere of a professional film using a DSLR, the style of camera we're going to predominantly use. Here's the rather helpful video we found and plan to use as a guide line.
