25^th April update

Today we have completed our thriller apart from changing the opening credits effect. The hot tub lighting was a successful change as we used colour corrector and made the clip pinkie purple tones to fit in with the continuity of the shot beforehand. The quality of film has decreased from adding this filter but our teacher says this is fine as it’s only a very short clip we have imposed it upon. I added the fade out within the party scene where the sound bridge happens and this looks very effective. I reversed the end two clips as our teacher told us to but I didn’t think it made sense so I suggested to the group we should reverse the first two clips as it would be going backwards to previous day and then the events from the day before would take place and the end two clips that are at the beginning can stay going forward as the rest of the film would continue from there. My partners agreed this made more sense so I spent a long time changing this around and adding the reverse and fade out again as I had to delete the clips and add them back in the wrong way round. After completing this I added a fade out to the audio at the beginning and end of the thriller, there was a cross fade on the music already so I evened it out by also adding it to the audio. We played around with the sound of the audio but found if we change one clip then all clips would need to be changed, the clip it worked on where it didn’t sound odd in the next clip was where the sound bridge and fade out happens and I go and speak to Doug at the party, so we added it here as I am supposed to be talking over music. When our other teacher watched it through they told us to take the echo effect off one clip where Maddie drags Rose away because then the clip is more visible, but we kept echo on the other clips we had previously added it to. We were then completed and all’s that is left to do is change the opening credits which we will do tomorrow and then burn our thriller onto a disc. Our teacher was satisfied with our thriller and likes the shots we have produced as the framing has been a huge success.
