STOW Analysis

Strengths:

The initial plot idea matched our chosen genre of thriller. We was told it was great idea because it was character driven, and does not require any form of SFX e.g. explosions. So the editing will be a lot easier later on. The story also contains a lot of mystery and suspense which makes it a good thriller movie.

Weakness:

Our planned opening sequence did not match the plot of the movie, there was a major gap between the opening sequence and the plot. Our teachers said the opening was too fast paced and that we tried to fit too many thriller conventions into the opening.

Opportunities:

Our plot is character driven which means we only need one actor. We can also film the opening sequence locally and there is no need for any special effects, so the editing will be easy.

Threats:

We may not be able to find a suitable actor for our opening sequence. Also filming in an opening place may also present itself as a problem as other people will be around.
