30th March - Sound

Today we added sound to our footage.

First we deleted all of the vocals that we already had in our footage and chose a sound clip that we thought went well with the footage we had.

Then we got a sound recording of a girl laughing, and edited it in GarageBand to make it sound eerie.

For the opening titles, we added in a voice recording of 'ring a ring of roses' and edited in the same way as the girl's giggling.

We then added in a mobile phone ring tone for when the girl received a message.

We are now going to go out to film the last shot of the TV, to put our footage of the girl onto the screen, and we will film the ghostly girl tomorrow.

We are still thinking of an alternative name for our horror opening that we can add onto our filming at the end. We have a few ideas but have not came to a conclusion yet.

29th March- Creating Titles.

Today we carried on adding titles into our opening, putting them over different frames with names such as actors names, director and producer. We spaced them out over different frames and by using two different colours (black & white) to create more of a sense of threat.

28th March- Creating Titles

Today as we was happy with the footage we had edited together already we decided to start creating our titles to go in our opening. We decided on a production company name and made a title for it using the program LiveType, we experimented with different effects that made it look like a horror film title. We then started to add actors names over the frames of our opening.

21st March- Editing

Today our group carried on putting a range of shots together in our opening, using a range of extreme close ups and long shots. These shots all go together in a way of showing our character getting ready to go meet her boyfriend, using close up shots showing her putting on make-up and long shots of her getting her jacket on. We also used shots like low angled shots and high angled shots to show a sense of threat and that someone is watching her.

14th March- Editing

Today our group carried on with editing some of our footage together. We used a range of shots and used some transitions to make the beginning of our opening flow better. We also looked at a sound site to see what different types of sound would go with our opening, the site we looked at was FreeSound. We looked at different sounds such as ghostly sounds and sounds that build up tension.

9th March 2011- Uploading new footage

After filming our new footage we uploaded it to our mac that we have been given for our group. We started to piece together some of our footage to see if the different shots flow together. We were happy with the editing and decided that we were going to film some more shots to begin our film with an establishing shot of the house. To also create a sense of threat we are going to film shots of a little girl to create a ghost like feeling.

9th March 2011- Filming

Today we went out to our new chosen location to re-film the start of our horror opening. We chose an inside location, to film one of our characters getting ready in her bedroom. We used a range of different shots and angles that we can experiment with when we editing. When filming we also did shots of the character jumping when she hears noises, this is creating a sense of threat.

7th March 2011

Today we decided to begin editing our footage together to see how it worked. But as we started to edit some shots together we realized that some of shots didn't really flow together, so we decided we would change the start of our filming to an inside location. This means that we have changed the story to create more sense of threat. We have bullet pointed some new ideas and camera angles that we can use to create more sense of threat and have come to the conclusion that we will completely re-film the beginning of our horror opening.
