Creating the soundtrack

We had previously started to download sound free sound loops to use in our soundtrack, which was helpful as we didn't find a lot we liked on garage band. In todays lesson we created the soundtrack and tried to show the contrast between the points of view; for example we used dark sound when it was the killers point of view to show he was deadly, but from the point of views of the girls we used light cheerful sound to show their innocence to the situation. Overall we are very happy with the way the soundtrack was finished and we feel it suits the genre well. 

Editing the sequence to a rough cut

Firstly, Libby and I uploaded all the footage we had taken on our day of filming into Final Cut Pro and began to re-name all the clips so that we could access them more easily. After this we then started to order to clips in what fitted the storyboard; however, as we started to put it together we re-ordered some of the clips slightly as we felt it fit better, and created a better narrative. For example instead of starting with the girls in the cabin talking, we used a behind the shoulder shot of the killer walking to the cabin and looking through the window to establish the location and set the premise for the sequence.

After we had finally put all the clips in the right order, we then made a list of all the things we wanted to re-shoot and also film and add into the sequence. For example we want to re-film to part were the character Izzy goes outside. We also want to add some more scenes from the perspective off the killer- so looking through others windows at the girls.

Music for our sequence

In todays lesson we looked at the possible music we could use to accompany our opening sequence. We will be using garage band and free music loops to create a diverse mix that really confirms the genre. We will be using the violin effects to create a strained effect, it can make the feel of the film uncomfortable which is an effect that is valued in horror. We will also use human voices, such as screama and shouts during the titles and storyline. For example, when the character us being taken the scream does not sound very dramatic, but using a screaming overlap will make it professional.
