Pitch

This is our pitch, after we planned what we were going to do for our thriller, we then planned when we were going to start filming and who our target audience we were going to target etc.

We done this so we could have something to look back to if we were stuck or needed help, also this helped us when we needed to add our production company to our final footage.

Final Edit

This is our final edit we ended up having which i am very satisfied with. However I believe that if we where given longer time, and after having our group almost halved due to inconsistency of attendance we would have ended up with something much better in terms of the editing.

Rough Cut






Final Edit





Clearly the differences are highlighted here, the final edit has a far more polished look to it, the rough cut seems rushed and unfinished which was the situation. The sound i believe is the most significant part missing from the unfinished piece and once playing the final edit we can realise its importance. Diegetic and non-diegetic sound were put on to the sound and overall was one of the strongest point of our overall opening scene. The titles were added and you can see the lettering in font and effects created and show a huge gulf in difference involving the amount of suspense in the clip.

Skills Audit: Creation of Titles

Our titles were very significant in our scene, we had to make it similar to that of the art of the title sequence, following some of the conventions used in a professional paramount picture opening scene. Our sequence used a font that didn't look serious and boring but a quirky strange font that would ass to the creepy effect made in the opening. We had to set the title credits in areas where it would not clash with what was on camera, for example with the actors faces, by positioning them in the correct positions the opening would focus on what was on screen and not on the text.

We added fake names as the actors and directors to make it seem proffesional. Finally we added a shaky effect that made the text suffle, by doing this the text seemed sinister rubbing off on the entire clip.

Skills Audit: Creation of Soundtrack

After having the storyboard set and then after actually taking the filming shots we had an idea to use a slow stealthy sound which could help us amount high tension in our clip. I was in charge of forming a sound clip using soundtrack pro.

By selecting the right sounds and placing them on the timeline we set a regime to allow us to clearly define a link between the and the sound.

1st. The Sea saw that would be sound to the production company.

2nd. The sound of the furnace.

3rd. Sound of the diner adding diegetic sound in the background.

4th. The outside scene where you could hear surounding sounds e.g. birds

5th. There was too be a variety of hissing like sounds and creepy effect sounds which would largely contribute to adding tension.

These parts were all set out in the closest timing to that of the video, after when we actually added the sound to the video we were able to further make the transitions and changes in sound fit to what was on screen with simple editing techniques.

Rough Cut

This was our rough cut, it clearly has not been finished and a lot of time still spared for us to improve it, the sound was missing the titles needed doing also editing was needed unfortunately we were unable to edit adding effects.
