North by northwest commentary


We created the narrative on North by Northwest by selecting the scene we wanted to use with the narrative and then removing the original sound from the movie and exchanging it with my own voice explaining the conventions of a thriller genre that are used in the scene. The research we made on thriller conventions helped us to use our recently gained knowledge on the commentary we placed over the top of the scene. Thriller conventions are becoming almost obvious to see now, due to the research we have done. This helped us to create the narrative easily and quickly as the conventions were easy to spot.

 We did this whole process by using iMovie which helps you to remove the sound and upload your own sound to the scene. Even if you make mistakes you can edit them out by using the program easily and we had no problem creating the narrative. We didn't seem to have any problems with the editing and re-creating the narrative over certain parts due to background noises and distractions. We also had a word document open at the same time with notes on the scene that we had collected which helped us to speak elegantly and fluently throughout the time period of the scene without forgetting any key conventions.
