Editing Day 3

Today we have manged to fix a problem we have with a dysnc in the audio and we have added a sound effect of a phone ringing that we needed in one of our scenes. All of the scenes are in order and we have placed our opening credits in between shots of our scene. this goes well because it is timed with the rhythm of the music we have. Are thriller is more or less finished and now all we have to do is to save it as a quicktime and upload it   to you tube.

Editing Day 2

we have spent most of the day getting things in order. We have picked out the scenes that we liked and  have arranged the scenes in order, we have also added the music and we are now working on making our ident and making our opening credits using the program 'LiveType'.

Moby Gratis songs

We have now received the music that we might use for be using for our thriller opening. The two songs that we have chosen are 'all is perfect' and 'black room'. Both of the songs are different form each other but we prefer the second song 'blackroom', this is because the song has a certain rhythm that we like we have chosen it because it has contrapuntal sound. It does not really match the events of the thriller, but this is to make it seem as what the kidnapper is doing is effortless.

Editing day 1

Today we uploaded all the footage we shot and have started to separate it into clips and take out footage we are not going to use. the process is long and exhausting but it has given us a really good opportunity  to watch over everything and pick out what we like and what we don't, and it has also given us the chance to see what we could have improved on.

Filming Day 2

When filming our outdoor scene we were delayed to the terrible rain we were experiencing. Afterwards it started to snow and the park that we were planning on filming on was covered, but we decided that the ice provided grip and was not as slippery as we thought it would be and we ended up filming in the snow. We thought that the snow gave our thriller a unique look and we think that the snow helped put emphasis of the desalite environment that our character would find himself in. For the costume we decided that our protagonist would have a urban look and have a curious attitude. setting up camera proved to be a little bit difficult because of the snow that grounds surface was slightly uneven and we found that the camera would be slanted and it took us multiple shots to get the camera even. After we fixed the position of the camera everything went smoothly and we manged to finish filming in a few ours. we will now be editing.

Filming Day 1

Today we started to film out thriller. We started with the last scene of our thriller becuase we thought it was the most conviniant and easiest to film as when we went into filming the weather was not good to be able to film outside safely. we began by getting the main character of the opening(Jack Meakin ) in costume and makeup, this process was fairly easy and we then started preparing the setting for our thriller. when choosing the positioning of the camera we thought using a mixture of mid and close up shots would work for the trapped and tied up atmosphere of the scene. We are planning to use jump cuts and varied them between the different shots to put further emphasis on the trapped scenario. when filming in shower room setting we chose, we were hoping that the setting would be darker, after a short discussion we decided that we would continue to film our scene and make the scene darker when editing. The acting in out thriller was not the best but we managed to get a few shots were our actor was able to scream the way we needed him to. In the end, we managed to film all the shots that we wanted and were happy.

Changes to our thriller

due to complications we were unable to film certain scenes that we were intending to film in our thriller opening. due to this reasons we have changed the beginning of our thriller and left some scenes out near the ending. instead of a football match taking place between friends at the beginning, we have our main character receiving a mysterious text from unknown number. he decides to investigate, and this is how our character gets kidnapped. In the ending scenes of out thriller we wanted to have the main character dowsed in petrol and burned alive by the kidnapper.
