Following our thriller opening pitch that was presented to the class we were provided with feedback from our audience, both constructive and complementary...
One of the most impactful queries that was raised was concerning the direction of the film. The concern was with the fact that we were going down such a realistic route and had centred our film based upon other films such as Kidulthood and Adulthood that are known and established in their genre and for having a typical storyline. This may not only decrease the chance of mystery being created in our production but may also lead us to stray from the genre essentially, as it would be more inspired by crime and social realist films rather than actual thrillers.
Several of the questions that arose touched upon the suggestions that our original idea didn't necessarily conform to the thriller genre, from our name - Endz to the plot and the iconography.
Taking on board the suggestion and critiques we realise that we should attempt a fresh production with a completely different plot. We realised that instead of going down the route of a stereotypical film for a collective of West London youths to create we should perhaps go against the grain of what is expected and come up with something much more contemporary, unique and less mainstream.

Thinking forward to what we can conjure i already have ideas derived from films that i know will create a great production. The examples to the left present the premise i think we will go forward with, i think it would be wise to heed the audience's advice and thus we will create a psychological thriller, the two examples aren't necessarily belonging to the thriller genre however they are prime examples of scenes i feel we can create based around a thriller movie. The fact that the characters are both looking at mirrors i feel is an effective tool to connote that they perhaps may have something different about them than others, everyone looks at a mirror from time to time yet i know that we will be able to incorporate actions that the audience will pick up on that will create mystery, tensity and intrigue.
