Unit5

                    Wayne Sables gave us some really insightful criticism on our movie, pointing out that he would have preferred it if we had given the killer more subtle and extended some of the images. In addition, he praised the movie, saying it fit the theme we were aiming for and advising us to be more self-assured in our work. He wanted to see more of a narrative behind the characters and their motive for being in the woods. He felt it missed depth which we agreed with next time we will involve a longer introduction especially on the characters.    With the feedback we received, w e were able to determine what worked and what didn't work out for us based on the comments we received on our short video.  One recurrent problem we discovered is that, given its runtime, the film feels a little bit short. If the storyline and storyboards had been revised before reshooting, this might have been prevented. We didn't get any comments on the audio or the camera work, even though I

                                                                M2-Post Production In this unit i will be explaining how we produced the film and conventions we followed to create the film.                This is Friday the 14th's final  edit with a duration of roughly 3:50.     The end credits scene is influenced by myself and created by Lewis similar to the rest of the editing. I got myself involved with the editing as i had a clear vision of what I wanted to create.  We made the blooper clips play in a separate, smaller window with the actor names appearing on the left. Another visible technique used is the way we used Premiere Pro's text tool to label the visuals and portions. A closer look at how we created the timeline is seen below. You can also make out the (fx) boxes that represent the video's transitions, which have a space between them to cause the screen to fade to black.  The picture above shows us editing the sound including added music throughout. We ensured

P1-STORYBOARDS Below I've attached images of our initial sketches of a storyboard for our short film. These were created to give us a rough idea of shot types and a running time. However these weren't enough to base our short film soley on it as they didn't give us enough detail for more specific timings. For this reason we decided to create a more tailored storyboard with more content to work with.

                                                                      D2-Sound In this article, I'll go over how we used sound to enhance our footage and establish the mood of the movie. First, we used two classic songs from the 1980s and 1990s: Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and the Romantics' "Talking in Your Sleep" in our movie. The absurd soundtrack from the 1980s gives the movie a genuine horror movie vibe. The theme music for thriller was picked because it has a Halloween vibe to it, but is also mostly lighthearted enough to go with the film's unserious/comedic elements. We felt a need for additional noise in the background of the film therefore we found a royalty free ambience horror sound on YouTube and added it to the film. We then lowered the volume of the ambience so it wasn't overpowering. Adding this sound also contributed to the whole flow of the film as it set an ominous feel and helped greatly with our transitions. Along with the

                      In the clip above Wayne Sables gave us feedback on our short film we all feel it was helpful and gave us guidance for future projects. Based on the feedback we got on our little film, we can see what went well and what didn't work well for us.  One recurring issue we found is that the movie feels a little bit short due to its runtime. This may have been avoided by revising the narrative and storyboards before reshooting. Though I believe we could have taken some better images to build tension and danger through the cinematography, we didn't receive any feedback either the audio or the  photography. The movie moves a little too quickly, and the killer appears before his time.
