Reaper - creating the ending

 In our previous edits of the short film, we had not included an ending which sums up the story so that the audience are not left on a cliff hanger. This is because if the ending was left on a cliff hanger, it can come across to the audience as being more like a trailer instead of a short film. Also, we wanted to imply a narrative theory which is Todorov's equilibrium.





We discussed many ideas for the ending, in which our main idea was to include a newspaper article stating that the two children have been killed. Therefore, it will prevent the audience from feeling confused as to what happened to the children.



The pictures on the left and right will be used as Zola and Seb's mugshots for the newspaper.





The picture on the left is the website where you are able to personalise your own news report for free. To create this, I have had to use a software called Adobe Photoshop CS6 (shown below). This is an editing software in which allows us to merge the background, news reporter and photographs together.





After creating this news report, we will show it to others and gain feedback to satisfy our target audience.
