Sound

I am trying to research some background sounds that I could use from the beggining of the scene to the part where the victim's father unlocks the door.

Some links to sounds that I may use:

The Part where the father gets into the car till the end of the opening including all the titles at the end I am planning on using this instrumental/ Kareoke version of the song 'Blood On The Leaves' because I think that it adds to the fact that the film is a thriller because it sounds really creepy at the beginning and because you would hear someone say blood on the leaves it kind of goes with the situation of the scene because you would see the victim's dead body.





I have managed to ask the uploader of this instrumental if I could use his song on my project and he replied saying that I could use it as long as I give him credit for it. The uploader's name is  Gleb Krykov


 If I am not going to use this song at the end of my opening my alternative decision would be, to use sound effects of police sirens at the very end of the opening where the title "Afraid" appears.






Editing 2

I have managed to re do the scenes that I wanted to re do and I have managed to edit them on the editing program Premier pro, I have also managed to edit the short inserts of the bath scene into the scene where the victim's father is getting into the car and the scene where there is the tilt up of the MM's legs. I have decided to add a black and white effect to the bath scene to make it look different and to add suspense. I also have added some basic titles with some examples of peoples names that I was going to add for the final piece. I haven't added any special sound effects to the draft because I haven't yet looked up any sound effects that I could add. 

Draft #1 and opinions






This is my first draft for my opening scene there is no sound effects in it because I haven't looked at any sound yet. I have added some basic quick titles for it with examples of names that I am going to use for my final piece. 



Audience opinions:
I have asked the same several people about their opinion of the draft.
I asked:
What did you like about it?
What you didn't like about it?
What could be improved?

In general, people said that they like the close ups of the shoes the father puts on, close up and the sound of the keys and the inserts at the end. They said that they didn't like the fact that there was no background music and that it was silent when the titles came up, they suggested that I could add the titles at the beginning instead. They also suggested that the title font and the sie of the titles could be a bit bigger.

Filming day 3 +4

 Pre filming:
I will take the school's camera again on the 1st of December so that I can re do the MM shot this time with the tilt upwards technique to add suspense and to change the shoes that the MM is wearing. I will return the camera back on the 2nd.

Post filming update:
I managed to get the right shot of the MM and I also managed to change the MM's shoes.

Editing1

I have started to edit my work, I first uploaded all the shots that I took on my folder and then I named my shots so that I would be able to recognise them whilst I am editing. I will be using Adobe Premiere Pro to edit my work and then I will put the shots that I wanted in order following the storyboard.  I had to change a few things because whilst re watching the shots that I took I realised that the Victim's scene in the bed looks really dark and grainy which means that I have to re do the victim's scene again. I also thought of adding a POV shot of the phone that the victim holds. I also didn't like that shot of the MM legs so I will re do that as well, I want to redo that because I wasn't happy with the costume and the camera angle.
