Blog Update- 15th February
Today our main focus doing the last bit's of edit to our footage. After the class review of our piece, we realised that the bag scene really needed to be edited because it confused the audience. Today we finally sorted that out so we are happy with it, although we do need to add some more screaming into it. We also went in Mr Laws room as it is more quieter, and recorded the voice over for the beginning of the opening sequence. I feel this lesson was a success because the things we aimed to get done, were finished. To complete our opening sequence, we need to edit the sound a tiny bit, other than that, we are finished.

Title and credit's research- Horror Thriller
Today we are going to carry on editing our footage. We have been told to focus mainly on the title's and credits. Before my group started editing we decided to research other horror films title's so we could get more information to make our opening sequence stick to the conventions. I went onto the site 'art of the title' and this gave me a range of opening sequences to choose from.
The first opening sequence I looked at was 'Dawn of the Dead'. The titles for this film were very basic and plain, and they used basic bold red font to represent blood maybe. Instead of just fading off the screen, they disappeared by being smeared, almost like someone was wiping the blood away. This created tension, and added to the effect of trying to make the audience fearful.
Another opening sequence I came across was 'Dolls'. A swirly white font is used on a plain black background with a small china doll face that almost blended in with the background. The transition used was a fade to black and this kept it simple and it looked professional. The use of white and black creates a very creepy atmosphere, instead of a gory, bloody one. This is what my group aims to do.
