Before we began our task to produce a piece, 'In The Shadows' a slasher/horror film; we allocated ourselves roles. In addition, Maddison and I both worked together on the editing and David worked on Soundtrack. However, Josh and I both found some sites that we could download Copyright free music, which, in conclusion, we chose the music from.
So far for our Media project, we have filmed our footage. We have filmed both at Monks Walk and my house (Ben's) .
We also uploaded our footage to Final Cut Express HD, and imported our clips into separate files, for example, a file for Close ups. In consequence, this made ourselves more organized, and made our editing process faster and more efficient.
During our editing process, we added transition effects including dissolves and FadeIn/FadeOuts. This helped our enhance our continuity for our piece. We also reduced the brightness of the clips to add to the mysterious, spooky feel to our piece.
Afterwards, we exported our edited piece to Soundtrack. We merged the sound from the film and the non-diegetic sounds on Soundtrack. The sounds we used were from www.freeplaymusic.com- which were all Copyright free. We chose those dark and mysterious sounds to build tension to our piece.
In addition, Soundtrack helped us to control the volume of both the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, for example, we added a fade out for the music after our credits finished.
Overall, we have produced a piece of work which is around 2 minutes as required. We are all happy with our piece, as we feel like it portrays a stereotype of the Slasher/Horror genre (Dumb blonde girl dying at the start.)
