The record of my work for my Media Studies lessons with Mr Henton

Editing- 7th April

Today we completely finalised our horror opening. We finshed the changes we made as a result of our feedback, and finalised our piece. Exporting it as a quick-time movie and saving it to our memory stick to take home and upload to the video sharing site, YouTube.

Today we shown our opening to independant viewers. The feedback made it clear that changes had to be made. Our sound was often dis-jointed and jolty, There were no sound bridges between shots and this made the film have a non-flowing feel. It also came apparent that at times it wasnt entirely clear to our audience what was going on. To overcome the feedback we removed alot of our sound effects and added a backing track to add as a sound bridge between the shots in the opening. We also re-arragned the order of some of our shots. This made the opening more understandable to our audience.

Today will imported all the sound to our horror opening and edited the sound to our footage. We also tided up our titles. However as our group we are not overly happy with the final outcome and are going to ask people who have had nothing to do with the production of our opening to give an independant review, so we can alter the areas that need changing.

Freesound Downloads

My group used the website www.freesound.org to find sound effects and background noises to add to our opening. We downloaded six different tracks in total, we managed to find a variety of noises from loud bangs to add shock to the opening, to quieter creepy ambience loops to build tension. We have saved them to our desktop and will be trying them out with our horror opening another day.

Today we finalised our opening titles. We decided upon names fro our production and distribution companies and designed their logos. We have called our production company 'Prestige Elite Productions' this names come from the font we used for our titles. The distribution company is called 'MRH Distributions' this uses the first letter of our first names. We added the titles to our opening aswell as placing names of cast members, costume designers and music company, into our film.
