Completing all the editing

In todays lesson we completed all of our editing for our horror opening which is called 'The Shadow Stalker'. The opening lasts for 1 minute 54 seconds and me and my partner in the group are very pleased with the overall outcome of the opening.

Garageband: Creating All the audio for the horror opening

Today we decided to add some background music and sound effects to our horror opening. This allowed us to get a real idea about how good the opening was. We added music for the opening titles which were:
-Production company
-Distribution company
-Directed by
-Edited by

We then added background mucsic which we used for the remainder of the film which was a churchyard bell sound effect which tied in very well with the setting of the opening. We then added a sound effect for the build up to and including the stabbing of the victim to build up tension.

After this we added a piece of music to the title at the end which was for the name of the film. We used a footsteps sound effect and a door closing together which i feel worked quite well.

Livetype: Creating a Title for the Film

In todays lesson we created a title for the film by using livetype. We called the film 'The Shadow Stalker'. We based the name of the filmon the fact that the killer toom the exact same path as the victim and therefore is like the victims shadow. We are now considering adding music to this title.

Livetype: Creating A Distribution Comapny Title

Today we created a title using livetype for a distribution company name. We chose to use livetype to create this so it looked more professional rather than just using ordinary text in Final Cut Express. We called the distribution company 'Blur Distributions'. We then gave this title screen a background image when played in the opening. We did this by simply saving a photo of a blured face from google and dragging this into the clip.

Returning To Our Film Location

Today we returned to our filming location to re-film a scene of the attacker running away from the victim that he'd just attacked. We had to re-film this because the bushes in the background of the shot were very different in length and these are in some other scenes.

Using Garage Band

In todays lesson we continued with our editing of the horror opening and tried to create some new sounds using Garageband and Livetype. Also we found out that some of our footage needed to be a bit longer.
