Question 6




Question 7

Construction: Sound effects and Greenscreen

These are screen shots of adding in sound to our opening. For this we needed to make sure that the sound levels weren't too high nor too low so you can hear the audio speech still. When coming to find the right sound which could be used in the background we experimented with different kinds of sound. instrumental sound, natural sound, upbeat sound. in the end we went for natural sound as we felt like it would suit our 'horror movie opening' object more. Before we decided which sound we wanted to use we research up different horror movie openings so we could compare the music which we found worked best, then interpret this into our openings.

When coming to add in the sound we had to make sure that the timings of the sounds we chose went hand in hand, with the editing. at times in the music, we had to change the volume of each soundtrack because some of the sounds were to over powering.

These below are screenshots to show how we have inserted and found a green screen clip in which we wanted to use within our opening. The reason why we had to find a green screen clip of a recording frame was so the green would go within the layers in editing and would allow us to be left with the filming frame we wanted. When coming to the process in finding a green screen filming frame we had a look and ones which had clear quality of text. When adding the green screen to our first cut we had to paste and repeat the green screen along and cut to the shots.

This is another edit including sound and using the green screen within the opening. The next stage from this is to add the titles in. When coming to the titles we will have to position the titles right on the screen so you will be able to see them, so this is why we can add them to a lighter part in the screen frame.

Construction: Evidence of Raw footage

This is the first raw footage of our first edit. These are screenshots to show the different stages within our editing process. This is before we have adding in any effects or sound. these screenshots show that the clips are a rough cut towards the final cut.

The overall footage turned out well and the quality of the footage was clear as we used a canon 1200D DSLR with a 15-35mm lens and for the steady still shots we used a Manfrotto compact advanced tripod to steady someone shots. When coming to filming as we wanted to create the effect that our characters were holding the camera their selves we have to make sure their hands weren't covering the mic but also look like they were holding the camera even though we were holding it to make sure their face were in shot. 

Construction: Evidence of Filming taking place.

These are the behind the scene photos which were taking during the filming process. these include us in the filming process; setting up the sets; directing the actors/actressess.

These are pictures to show the filming process and how the camera was set up on the tripod to get a steady camera shot. 

This is what 'the girl in white' make up looked like after Mea had finished. 

                                     
This is us setting up the set behind the scene in preparation to film.

This is evidence of make up being done to one of our actresses.

This is a short clip of behind the scenes from the 2 days in which we had filmed. This includes outtakes but also includes photos from the day also.

Planning: Testing Out Filming Before Main Task

This is a test to see how the filming quality is before filming out main task so we can get used to the camera before.  by doing this experiment it has allowed us to understand the different settings on the camera so when filming we can make sure the right setting on the camera is used to get the quality of raw footage in which we need when editing.
