Music and sound.

We used Movie Studio Platinum to overlay our foley sound onto the video. We had to chose the section of video and music that we wanted, cut

them to the right time and set them both together. We could then choose to fade them in

and out as we chose. For our non-diegetic music, we chose to use two un-copyrighted songs from an online website. However, to

create the diegetic sound, e.g. the dragging of the body, the footsteps and the digging, we had to re-record the sound on a voice recorder and match this to the movements on screen. When

using the foley sound for the first time, we discovered that the sound didn’t quite match up to the movement on screen, therefore, we had to re-record the sound after reviewing the pace

and heaviness of the movement.

Picking/Overlaying the song for the

headphone scene.

Again we used Movie studio platinum, deciding which piece of

action/scene we wished this particular piece of music to play over and cut and fit this to match

the movement on screen. This went fairly smoothly as the

website allows you to match the timing up quickly and easily.

Title.

We used Photoshop to create the title itself. This was fairy simple, however, I found the software reasonably difficult to use as once you had done something, you couldn’t go

back. I found this frustrating, however, after practice I managed to understand the

software better and how to do different things with it.

We later edited the title onto our opening using Movie Studio Platinum and added a

fuzzing TV static to the background. This was fairly simple to do and I was very happy with

the result.

Studio Logo.

To create our studio logo we used the same software that we had to create our title.

After getting to grips with Photoshop when producing our title, it became very quick

and simple for our group to use making the production of the logo extremely enjoyable.

However, I found the text was difficult to place the way that I had imagined it and it

took time and patience to place it in the right spot.

We then, again, used Movie Studio Platinum to add the studio logo to our opening.

Credits.

We faced many problems in the making of our credits. We made them using Photoshop which

was relatively simple, however, as we didn’t save the titles as the correct file type, we

could then not access and change them after they had been changed. This meant that we

had to re-construct the titles. However, during the second attempt we couldn’t find the right

font that we had previously used – only a similar one, which meant that we had to

sacrifice our first choice. After they had been produced (for a second time!) we attempted to lay them over the top of our video using Movie Studio Platinum, however, we discovered that

not only did the font colour have to be changed as they were too dark to be seen, but

the pace that they appeared and the places that they appeared also had to be changed.

Although we faced many problems with these credits, I believe they are effective and fit with

the tone and genre of the film.

Video.

We used Movie Studio Platinum to construct our final film. We ha to think about match on, continuity, the 180 degree rule etc. the

biggest problem that I believe we faced when editing our film was continuity and

match on. At some point where we believed we were coming to the end of editing our film, we would discover that something

didn’t quite match the last shot. This was extremely disheartening, however, we cut each section right down and reviewed and reviewed our work in order to make sure

each shot matched the lat.

Filming.

Here are a few pictures of us during the filming. We met on Sunday 30th November

and the following Sunday to ensure all of our filming was complete. Overall, the filming went smoothly and as planned as we faced no major problems. However, the biggest

issue that id occur was the temperature. It was extremely cold both days of our filming, which meant that we had to wrap up until

we were in a scene – this was slightly awkward as we had to keep taking off and putting on layers. However, the weather

didn’t effect any of the shots and the faint fog actually enhanced the depth and the

uneasy atmosphere of the piece.
