In the YouTube video above, it is clear that my group and I were able to voice our opinions and give directions to each other, in order to make our thriller work well and look professional. As you can see and hear, Nikki and Libby were able to tell me where to stand and what to say, which was very crucial in the making of our thriller opening. As well as this, I also gave my own opinions as to how I should be positioned, and how Rhiannon (our antagonist) should act. Although we mainly gave directions as a group, we also incorporated a lot of Rhiannon's ideas (who was not in our media group), as it gave us an outsiders opinion that was much more objective; this was also helpful as she was within our target audience age group, meaning we were interested in her feedback.
Positioning within the shot was important to us as we wanted to keep the focus on our vulnerable character, whilst still being able to incorporate her stereotypical 'girly' and vulnerable room that we created. This enabled us to stimulate and provide a safe environment for our audience, which we later manipulated to form our tense crime thriller. Directing was an important part of this process, as placing me in the middle of the room enabled us to put all of these things into action; as it incorporated an equal amount of the character and location. We did the same for our antagonist character as this created a flowing thriller opening that didn't distract our audience from our main themes and patterns that we came up with in our initial ideas.
Directing played a crucial role to us as it gave structure to our filming process. All being a part of this enabled our group to come up with constructive criticism and come to a consensus on our decisions. Overall, giving everyone the role of a 'director' was helpful, as it meant we was all able to communicate and work well as a team.
