In yesterday's lesson we focused on our thrillers that we are making. We began by watching what previous students had done. This showed what has worked and what has failed recently. We learned that the best ones involve less happening and contain better shot types and sometimes less dialogue. As this is the opening to a thriller and not the whole film we learned that you should raise a question in the minds of an audience and not attempt to answer all the questions and tie up everything.

After this we planned in our groups what we might do. My group's plan was to make something about a psycho teacher that is killing one of his students. This is not final yet but we will plan more tomorrow.
