Soundtrack Creation

The screenshot above is of the creation of the soundtrack and the software we used was garage band as we could access many sample tunes and create a relevant tune for the thriller project.

Thoughts and Processes on group work

The first filming session was testing different camera angles and panning shots in Centenary Park. This was before the Christmas Holidays on a cold winter morning and Raju, Omar and I were testing relevant shots needed for the opening scene. As we began to film for our final sequence problems began to occur, lighting was effecting our shots as the room was much to bright, but as Omar worked his wonders on after effects he could darken the room without damaging the picture quality and ruining the footage. Another problem was the props which was the blood, this needed to be created and wasted valuable time into perfecting the solution. As all problems were then resolved, filming was successful and were no problems with the final footage.

My involvement was Editing (along side Omar and Raju) and Directing the opening sequence.

Soundtrack Analysis

Seven soundtrack was a key inspiration as was the whole film opening. The sound effects used within the opening clip give the clip a twisted and edgy feel as the sound felt unsettling and gave the influence of disturbance and isolation. The clip below is of the opening film and soundtrack of the movie Seven, the sound used within this opening clip helped us visualise the type of sound needed for an effective thriller opening.

These are some of the blogs which i have viewed and all are varied, from the amount of visual information to long essay styled answers given for certain questions. All are very well constructed blogs and show a clear thought process for what the students were thinking of. Furthermore all blogs are well constructed and allow the reader to understand everything the student had experienced whilst completing their course.

Marketing Analysis

Many well known movies have marketed their film efficiently, and have recognised potential advertising strategies; which encourage many to view the film as it has been shown to them regularly, amongst their daily life. 

Our movie is a low budget film which would mainly be advertised on the Internet, this would be popular sites which many viewers may visit on a daily basis. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter would be ideal to advertise our movie as many people in our suitable target audience use these sites encouraging the certain type of audience to find this film most appealing to them. 

This is an example of the advertisement type which would interest us as this is on a Facebook page and clearly shows the adverts which are displayed on the right hand side.

Many use the Internet on a daily basis therefore Facebook being a perfect advertisement page for our movie which would furthermore attract many peoples attention.
