Moving to Post Production

Now that we have all of out footage uploaded onto the Macs, we can now move onto the post production stage of the horror movie opening. All together, out footage is about 11 minutes long. We will need help with putting the music over the top, but to do this, we will use Garrageband. We will also need to enhance sounds to help to create tension.

Props used

Here are the props that we used for our opening: 

This is the cork board that we used for Connor to stab into. The photographs include different characters from the opening at different times. 

This is the knife that Ben (Connor) stabbed into the photographs with. 

All Footage Downloaded

To make sure that the footage was ready to be edited on the macs, Myself and Leanne went to go and put on the last bits of footage. Now, we have all of the footage downloaded that we need for the opening two minutes, we are ready to start the post production stage.

Final Filming.

As all of the footage for our horror film has to be downloaded, ready for editing by the first day we go back to school, we decided to film the last bits of our footage on Monday 28th February. So I printed out the photos and pinned them onto the corkboard so that they were ready to be stabbed. As Hayley was busy and we did not need all of the cast to film this part, Leanne and Connor came to my house at 3pm to film the last bits.

Half Term Filming.

As we could not get the filming done for the week before we broke up for half term, because of the weather and people being ill, we decided to film the rest of our footage in the half term.So we booked out a camera and tripod on Friday 18th February. We did not have much left to film and so we decided to do this on Monday 28th February.

Filming Postponed.

Friday 4th February we decided that we would book out the camera and tripod so that we could film on Sunday  6th February, so before we did this, we asked all of the cast if the were available to film, and everyone was, except from one of the main actors, Connor, who plays Ben. Obviously, we couldn't film on Sunday, so we decided on filming another day when everybody was free.

Downloading Footage onto the Macs

On Friday 28th January, we downloaded the footage filmed in town onto the macs, ready for editing. The footage that we downloaded was 2 minutes and 29 seconds from 31 clips. We decided that this is not going to be enough footage to use when editing it together, so we are going to extend the length of the other scenes to make it longer.
