An effective mood board. Since I've looked at your raw footage the sunshine (who would expect this in January!) and the open space detracts from the sense of menace and claustrophobia.
As I've explained to your group in class you should use shots you've taken at the coast contrasting with an interior location example: The use of a garage in the opening to "Essex Boys" as a possibility. You need to communicate your knowledge and understanding of the thriller genre in 2 minutes thus exterior shots should be mainly focused on the victim and the killer.
Look at Class of 2011-2013 blog archive, Isabel MacFarlane's and Claire Laniyan's thriller openings. (This will be on their Year 12 blogs under the label G321 Productions). Though not perfect look at the way they used the coastal location to suggest fear/suspense. Their interior shots were not so successful nor convincing. I'm sure your group can manage interior shots better.
You need to plan your shots on a story board, even if roughed out very carefully.
