Editing:

Throught the editing process of our production we added two usages of sound. One was from a copyright free website 'Royalty Free music' (http://www.royaltyfreemusic.com/free-music-resources.html)
The music we would choose needed to be very atmospheric, have you on edge and antisipating the outcome of events occuring. The sound needed to be chilling, disturbed and run a shiver down your spine.
The other form of sound we created was on garage band, it was a combination of two sounds blended into one. One sound used for the duration of the time, while the other sound disolving half way through.














When editing our credits, we found that they did not look proffesional and realistic enough. They were not what we had pictured and what we wanted for our titles. Due to the fact they looked gimmicky, in a way they stood out for the fact they were done in poor quality and looked as if a group of teenagers such as ourselves had done. When actually we wanted our thriller opening to look like it had been done by proffesionals.

Therefore, as a group we went back to the drawing board and came up with an idea of religious lettering and images, which is connected to the religious aspect of our thriller. The main storyline of our thriller opening is of religion therefore, the images on the screen shot below represent an aspect of a religious faith.



When choosing the name of our production we all agreed on Outcast Productions. Due to the fact it relates to our chosen storyline of a religious controll freak that feels he is an outcast to the rest of the world because he is a desciple of god therefore, he is more important and valuable in the eyes of God. By showing the name of our production within our opening it gives insight to the viewer of what can be expected and insight on the main character and what the storyline is all about, how it will be represented and what the viewer can look forward to seeing within our production.


In our planning stage of production we aimed to include a voice over to replace a duration of the sound track. This idea would have been used to represent the main character, being the attackers, side of the story. It would give him a chance to explain to the audience why he had done what he has. This would include his reasons as to why he did it, this being him thinking he is a desciple of God, by carrying out the actions he is not physcially capable to do so himself.
However, when it came to the editing process of production, we had already sourced one sound track and made another on garage band, which when put together, represented exactly what we were aiming for.

THRILLER OPENING:

Filming Evaluation:

For our titles and credits, our original idea was to self write our credits, on bible style paper with red writing. This is for the effect red connotes blood, pain and upset. We wrote our names and candidate numbers, The title of the film, being DISCIPLE and our filming productions group name Outcast Prodcutions.

We started the day of at our first filming location, being the village of Kirky Underwood.
We filmed the disturbing deer head and the credits and titles in the morning then later moved to our second location being the bridge leading out of Kirby Underwood, which is where our capture scene of the victim took place. Our final location, was Boubly Barns which is where the hostage situation of our victim took place.


The day of our filming was a terrible bitter cold atmopshere outside, however we were able to fit in all the time for each of our locations and produce enough essential footage, for us to work on when we got to the macs for editing.


Problems we found ourself with was certain scenes that needed great concentrating and emotions to be potray for the scene itself to look realistic, after a certain amount of takes, we maganged to get the shots we were looking for.


Another problem we found ourself with was we didn't want to use too many of the same shots, we wanted to use a great variation therefore, we made sure we got high angled shots and low angled shots to show vunerability and insecurity. Along with a lot of close up shots to show characters emotions, feelings and personal space. Combined with mid shots, long shots and extreme long shots to represnt action taking place.


It was also essential we stuck to the 180 degree rule when two characters were placed on the scene, due to the fact we wanted to stop all confussion to the veiwer as to what was going on.
