Evaluation Question 4
Below is a video of Aj evaluating my film and explaining her point of view of how Maslow's Hierarchy is shown within the film itself.
Below is Amy Jane Briggs' evaluation of my film
Deniz's film has been an amazing production, consisting of a lot of hard work and effort. I particularly enjoyed the special effects and how the opening was put together, ensuring it was an amazing piece of work. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Supernatural or Psychological Thrillers and would love to watch it again or see the whole thing! In terms of Maslow's Hierarchy I feel the film affects me in the Safety and security stage as seeing someone being attacked or thinking that these things may exist makes me quite uneasy, paranoid and even insecure. I think that the opening reached it's aims and as a target audience member I felt that it met my needs and I was very intrigued.

Treatment
Our film, Mirrored-Past is within the genre of a Psychological Thriller/Supernatural Thriller about somebody who must cast a spell to go back in time after seeing a Premonition of his friend dying from a picture of her friend. Will he be able to stop the death and go back to help her? Or will more go wrong by going back and changing the past? Our opening is designed to create an eerie feeling in order to make the audience feel unnerved through a series of confusing clips and clues causing the audience to subconsciously add up these clues and come up with their own conclusions, however they won't expect what comes next. The audience will be kept in the dark throughout most of the opening as the concept will become more clear throughout the actual movie.
After our production logo our opening begins with the main character searching through a chest of drawers and finding a picture with a date on the back, he then has a premonition seeing the death of this girl where she is strangled. He then decides to go back in time by casting a spell once he gets back he attempts to stop the death. As all things happen for a reason he was not allowed to change the past as it was a fixed point in time but by breaking the rules of time he must face the consequences.
Our group decided on this storyline through a series of different ideas, our original idea was very different from the end idea. We were inspired by an episode of Charmed and one of our old ideas. We chose this idea as it's very mysterious and involves several different suspenseful clips which mould together to create fear and confusion putting the audience on the edge of their chair. Our questionnaires and research told us that people like Thrillers as they're usually quite scary and jumpy and put the audience on the edge of their seat, our opening does exactly this.
We chose an old art gallery to film at as we thought it looked quite old and eerie. The lighting of the location was also dark and quite dim meaning that it was perfect for our film. This creates a sense of mystery and fear as if the location was bright and cheery this wouldn't have the same effect.
Our Thriller opening conforms to Thriller conventions as Thrillers are supposed to use elements such as suspense and elements in order to stimulate a certain view or mood into an audience or viewer. It aims to give them high levels of anticipation as well as Uncertainty, anxiety and even terror. Some Thrillers aim to give the viewer an adrenaline-rush. These are all elements that we aimed to include within our Thriller opening.
