Screen Shots of Our Editing

We added in a fade in and fade out to our sound so that it flows well with our Opening.
We used Motion to add in the Distribution Icon and Production Icon.

Inspiration

 INSPIRATION !!

I have come across a trailer called the ward that inspired our thriller opening .

Foley Sound

FOLEY SOUND

Why is it called Foley?

Foley originated from Jack Foley , who established the basic modern techniques still used today.

What is Foley Sound?

Foley sound is sound effects added to the film during post production , these sounds include footsteps, clothes rustling , crockery , doors slamming and opening , there are many more foley sounds that are created based around everyday life.

Why bother with Foley Sound?

Without Foley sound a film sounds hollow and empty . It has shown that old historical films seems lifeless when screened without sound therefore Foley sounds helps bring dead images to life but also adds a element of realism.

How is Foley done?

Foley is normally done by Foley artists. Ideally they stand on a stage with a variety of props and surfaces in a studio .

What happens when using Foley sound!

Screen Shots of Our Editing for Our Thriller Film Opening

We added in effects to our Opening to make it more realistic and easier for the audience to understand the storyline. We also added in sound effects to emphasise parts of our thriller opening to make horror like.

Words that spring to mind!

WORDS THAT SPRING TO MIND DURING THE PROCESS OF MAKING OUR THRILLER OPENING!

Rough Cut Feedback

Rough Cut of Thriller Film Opening

This is our Rough Cut for our Thriller Film Opening. We have added in Sound Effects to create more of a Horror/Thriller Feel to our Opening. We have more sound effects to add for out Final piece and to also play tension filled sound throughout. We like the Voiceover used at the end because we feel that it fits well with our opening due to the Storyline its based on. We hope to re-film two scenes in this opening as they weren't in focus on the Camera whilst filming. Overall, We are happy with our Rough-Cut.

Photos of Filming 'Bloody Tears'

These our photo's of our filming process for our Thriller Opening. We filmed in College on the Ground Floor as we wanted to get a Education Environment to show the changes in character for the Young Girl. This is also a contrast in scenery.

Updates on Ideas For Our Thriller Opening

As we are coming to the end of our Filming, as a group we sat down and discussed how we all feel about the Thriller Opening so far. We all agreed that its not going exactly to Plan and that we need to re-think some of our ideas. We developed the ideas that we came up with and have decided to change our Thriller Film opening Storyline Slightly;

Rather than the young girl waking up in the Asylum that she has been put it, She is walking on a normal day as an adult where she has Flash Backs of her past childhood which is being in the Asylum and searching two doors (rather than three) to find her meaning of herself. We have changed the beginning because we felt that its boring and very long. The Flash Backs of her past will also make the opening more exciteful and this will allow us to use more of a variety of Camera Shots. The Girl who she sees in the second door that she opening will walk past her in the park and then she will have a Flashback of when she opens the door and sees her in it. We Feel that by editing the Storyline it will stop a lot of the Jump Cuts that we don't want in our opening scene and it will also make it more like a Thriller Film.

Voiceovers for our Thriller Film Opening

 

This is our least perferred one as their isn't much emotion being portrayed in the voice. We would like the audience to feel a sense of sympathy when this voice over is being done.

 

This is the one we are not sure about as we feel like the voice speaks the content to fast therefore we miss the emotion being shown and it also defuses the object of the voice over.

 

 

This is our favourite one as it carries the most emotion being portrayed through the voice than all the others.

Photos of our First Filming

 

We first started Filming in the Corridor on the third floor of the College. This is a Wide Shot of us filming.

 

We then filmed in a room where we shot this Close up of Kavita to show her performing mental actions.

 

We then filmed my reaction to Kavitas mental actions that shows contrast of the two characters. When we started filming in this room, this is when we discovered that the Mise en Scene is incorrect and doesn't fit in with our piece.

First Filming of Bloody Tears

This is our First Filming of our Thriller Opening. We felt that there was a lot of Jump cuts in this filming and we tried to avoid them but it didn't go to plan. We also felt that the Mise en Scene didn't fit in with the whole Aslyum scene as it was quite opposite to a Aslyum. This was the main issue of this first filming as it didn't fit in with our Story line that we want our Thriller Film Opening to go by. The Jump Cuts where also another large issue of this filming as it wasn't smooth enough when we watched it back. It made our filming look quite ammature and unrealistic. When we film in the future the Mise en Scene will be more Aslyum looking and the Jump Cuts will only occur if we want them to.

Pitch Powerpoint Feedback

The Feedback that we got from our Pitch was very useful.

Mary liked the idea that we want a Voice Over played throughout the opening scene.

 

She suggested the idea that we should have Signs/Posters of Broadmoor Hospital and the NHS around where we are filming to create more Mise en Scene. We like this idea and will be using it for our Thriller Film Opening.

 

 

Mary also suggested that we should have beddings in the rooms we are filming in to create more of a Aslyum feel to our Mise en Scene. It will be a struggle for us to get beds in and out of the college so we have decided to push chairs together and get white sheets to throw over them to create the Beds. This will hoepfully have the same affect on the audience than what the beds would.

Overall, Mary liked our ideas for our Thriller Film opening and we will be going ahead with everything we have decided. We are looking forward to start filming our opening to our best ability.
