Thriller: Feed Back Draft Edit

Class:
The feed back the class gave when seeing my video for the first time.

The Ending is abrupt, as in too short not a proper ending.
The camera is shaky
Second section not as good as the first part,
Misc-en-scene not appropriate for second section.
Try and add credits on different objects

Teacher:

Too short
More titles, remove colons from later titles.
The title of the film needs to be changed
Camera too jerky as Tom wakes up
Too dark kettle shot.
Stops too abruptly

What I have gathered from the feedback, I think I have to re film the second section watching out for movement and jerkiness of filming. Also use lighting that is appropriate not too dark, also adding different shots to increase length.

Thriller: Finding Music

To find sounds and music for my video, I needed to find copy-right free music and on moodle there was some links of websites that could be used to find the legal music. I have found a website that I could find good music (score) for my video the website is called http://www.freesfx.co.uk/eesfx.co.uk/.




I went on the horror sector because they music was better at adding tension. I chose three different files for my video, one for the first part of my video, one for the part when the main person is walking up until the door knocks and the last is until the end.




This website is specifically royalty -free music, I found it by searching 'royalty free music' on Google. On this website there was better variaty of music and I found good score that added tension effectively.

Thriller: First editing

To edit the draft filming, and I was planning to put the sequence in order to see how the the film looked together. I just did straight cuts and added the titles to the film.

To add the titles I went to the top tool bar and when in the section that says 'Title' and then went on the different types of Default settings. I expreimented with the styles.

The window to choose the titles was easy to use you could add text and shapes (from the left toolbar) anywhere on the canvas. The different fonts for the text were at the bottom of the window, and the colour of the font was on the right side and also the sizes.

Thriller: Filming

The filming took place on the 27th of Febuary and it went well, I set up the location and made fake blood to add to the kill table and added the plastic sheets on the walls and on the . I started to film with my first actor which is the person who arrives to the scene where there is plastic on the wall and plastic on the table. The filming followed the storyboard and the first shot was the shot of the first character arriving to the location, then at he opens the briefcase and remove the contents onto the table. He then puts the gloves on, this shot I took twice from different angles. The last shot with this character
