Final Film.

Post-production: Final changes

One final change we decided on one was to change the size of our final title as we thought it need to appear more dominant on the screen.

Production: Adding titles.

During the post-production process we added credits to our film, we used LiveType to create and edit our credits, We added 7 credits that appear on screen in a type effect, in a black font called American Typewriter. 

Post production: Sound

Although we already had the intention of adding sound, due to our audience testing we had a better idea of our target audiences preferred music, being either a score or incidental music. We search the internet for some copyright free music, we found several pieces we thought that fitted our film.
The piece we found is called Tocsine Hell. 
We also downloaded a ticking clock sound which will a non- diegetic incidental sound. We got this from www.freesfx.co.uk.

Additional editing

After our target audience research we chose to put a filter on our film to create a more dark and sinister effect, as well we found some copyright free music to add to our film to create more suspense and suit the narrative.Furthermore we ended the speed and in and out timings of some of the first sections shot, to crete a more coherent narrative. We also slowed down the ident and added a sound effect to create a more authentic look.

Pre-production: Audience testing rough cut

We additionally also gave a questionnaire to 4 other people asking them to express their views. We consulted 2 females (Leah Tait 18 and Hannah Rumford 21) and 2 males (Tom Denny 19 and Theo Ellis 20) and these are their views:

What could be improved about the footage itself?

• Some of the shots were a bit shaky so you could maybe reshoot these
• A couple of the shots were on for a long time so you could cut these
• It was very light in the outside shots so you might want to think of adding a filter 
• I would vary the timing of the shots a bit more

What kind of music do you think should be added?

• I think it would be good to add music that added emphasised certain parts of the opening
• Something that built suspense and tension
• Maybe some music that changed in volume throughout the opening
• Possibly some fast paced music

Does the opening set a good tone for the rest of the film and represent the narrative?

• Yes, I think I can clearly understand that this is the opening of a crime thriller with the use of props and different shots
• The opening really made me want to see the rest of the film and intrigued me about the suspicious character
• I thought the two narrative style worked together well as some shots were mirrored so this set a good tone
• I really enjoyed the opening! I think you need a good piece of music to set the a mood for the rest of the film that represents the narrative 

These comments helped us get a good display of ideas to help us create our final production.

Production: Rough cut edit

After filming both parts of our narrative we also shot the outside scenes, we then subsequently edited the shots together and added an ident and an end title.

Production: Filming part 2

After filming both sections for the male and female parts separately, we decided to make a rough cut of the two narratives. This will take up the first minute with our film.
