The creation of the music took place by useing Sibelius 6, the main creators of this were Matt and Rosie (a helper with knowledge of the use of this software), as i didn't have a large knowledge about the software, my input was mainly through discussion about what i felt worked well with each scene. The creation of the music was taken stage by stage, first of all by choosing the sort of instruments that created the sense of suspition and tension. Instruments such as drums, strings and flutes which all add emotion to the scenes. Matt and Rosie tried to develop all ideas and create a piece which would best fit the thriller genre. We researched the type of music what we wantedto use buy listening the songs which sounded similar to the sound we wanted to create. Such as Sober by Kelly Clarkson and The Murder from Alfred Hitchcock's Syco. When listening the these pieces we felt that they would match the scenes that we had shot already, so during the creation of the music we kept those songs in mind. Matt and Rosie said that they didn't encounter any problems whilst creating the piece, and found Rosie's knowledge to be a very positive thing.
After gathering feedback from fellow students and audience memebers they gave us some positive feedback for the music but felt it didnt relate to the movie very well. They said that it was too techno style music which would suit a more fantasy or sci-fi piece, better than a thriller piece.

Post-Production:- Pyromania
Earlier on Matt and I discussed that because the filming was mainly my domain with Matt's input, the editing would me mainly Matt's domain with my input. Post production comenced with the upload of the video onto the computer, this ran smootly with no issues. We both decided to use Matt's own laptop due to the fact that we experienced problems using the school's software, when filming our prelim project.
Our main focus was the cut the scenes and blend them together, using some sharp cuts and fades. We also focused on controling the lighting as the lighting changed on different days and times, so the lighting had to altered to be the same for each scene. We then added titles on top of the flames to present the name of the thriller film.
The rest of the editing just consumed of cuts, sound and fades. Altogether the editing time period went really well, we were able to get what we needed to get done quickly with no hassle from the software serif movie plus X3 that we used. We did have one issue with the narriation that we used, which Matt created, which was that the sound wasn't completely clear. This meant having to re-record it but that didn't take much time. Overall the editing went well.

Filming: DAY TWO
Filming started on: 6th February 2010
Location: Weston-super-mare
Scene: 4 - 9
Day two of filming commenced on the 6th February 2010. Crew and cast that attended this event were Matt Hosgood, Livvie Salvage and Me (Paige Hiley). Livvie Salvage played the part of Laura in the scene nine. Matt Hosgood carried on playing the part of Charlie and I filmed the scenes with Matt's camera. The time was 4 0'clock when we met outisde weston Odeon to begin our shooting. We commenced by filming the establishing shot for the opening scene that was set in weston. We compared two car park top floors to see which had the best view of weston. Out of two choices, the NCP and Sovereign centre we chose to use the NCP car park roof because it had a better view of weston as it showed the centre of weston. The soveriegn centre carpark didn't have the city centre surroundings we were looking for, we could only capture houses and tops of buildings when we wanted to also show evidence of a busy area by looking downwards.
Considering it was a saturday we knew that the area would be packed with people, which is what we wanted to display in these scenes. We did have an issue with the people that were walking around, which was that at some points that got in the way of shots, it was also hard to run in between them when filming the tracking shots. In the end this worked out alright as it made the shot more interesting that just running in a straight line. We then found a recycle bin with bags of rubbish in it and by it, this was a great landscape for our scene where matt chucks his jacket away, and picks up a dustbin bag full of clothes. This ment that we could blend the bags in with the other bags with out it looking too placed. This was a success.
After filming the establishing shots and tracking shots we moved on to filming the speech scenes. We had to locate a subtable location for this scene as most of the toilets that were in weston, were used regularly. Matt suggested going to the winter gardens ones as they were not used as regularly, this worked well as we were only disrupted twice. Overall the session was a success, with hardly any problems.
