SWOT analysis

 

Thriller opener SWOT:

Strengths:

• We are knowledgeable in video editing

• Both of us have Sony Vegas and Blender on home computers

• We have motion capture technology (Microsoft Kinect)

• Knowledgeable in the conventions of the thriller genre

 

Weaknesses:

• Only one actor in our group

• Small group size

• No makeup and costume experience/knowledge

• Not much cinematography experience

 

Opportunities:

• Camera available from the media department

• Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects are available on the school computers

 

Threats:

• Scheduling conflicts (actors not being able to turn up)

• Coronavirus situation (self-quarantine at home is being advised by the government currently and groups of people outside are being banned)

• Inability to acquire the location needed for the film

• Travel may be a problem as we would have to arrange either public transport or parental travel

 

Idea: Crime thriller opening where a man gets chased in the first scene and the detectives observe and investigate the body after a match cut. 

 

SWOT:

Strengths:

• Has some inventive scenes like a match cut to progress time

• Starts suspensefully to entice the viewer in the first minute

 

Weaknesses:

• Might be too ambitious to do

• Very undeveloped idea currently

• We do not know any capable actors and may have to use amateur first time actors

• May cost quite a bit for props and costume

 

Opportunities:

• Can use a local forest location for the opening

• Allows for experience in interesting editing and directing

 

Threats:

• Health and safety could get in the way of filming a chase (falling over during the chase or anything like that could harm crew members)

• The location that we film at may not be permitted and so we would have to relocate
