Film Progress 2

In the next session that we edited the film opening, we decided to change a few things to make it fit in with the horror genre more. We carried on with fine tuning the editing and started to look more closely at sound. As well as this, Ash made a new title for the film as we agreed that the first title didn't fit in with the rest of the editing.

Here it shows how we took out any unnecessary sound that was in the film. To do this, we unlinked to clip from the sound and deleted the sound. Next time, we will replace the sound with the music we have had composed by someone we know and any other sounds that we can create ourselves.

For the title, we decided that the previous titles that Ash had created weren't really suitable for our film as it didn't fit in with the style of editing that we had done. He created some new titles which were a lot better. As well as changing the titles, we also changed where we were going to put the titles as we were going to embed them within the scene. We realised this may have mad the editing look disjointed so thought about putting the titles at the end. However we decided not to as this would make it look more like a trailer. In the end, we put them at the start of the scene, after the production logo.




In this shot, we added in the music which was going to come out the radio. We asked Thomas Whitehead to do some music for us and he created a piece which fitted what we wanted perfectly. We sent him some clips from YouTube of serialism music as recommended by Tom which gave him inspiration for what to make. He used a software called 'Sibalius' to create the music. To start with, the music didn't export correctly so we couldn't use it straight away but we resolved this by using a different format. We then placed the music into the film and changed the volume of each section of the music depending on which shot was playing. We did this to get the effect of distance between the main character and the radio in different shots. For example, when  the character was near the radio, we made it at normal volume; when the character is in the dining room, the radio is a lot quieter.
