OPENING SEQUENCE COMPLETED!

Today we finished our opening sequence after adding all our titles and sound! Now we have to start our evaluation questions!

Completing the sound.

Today I tackled the lengthy job of finding and fitting in some music to add to the atmosphere of our film opening.
I knew I wanted to keep the music relatively simple but still haunting at the same time. By keeping it simple I thought it would make the audience feel more mysterious about the event that may or may not be taking place in the opening. My other group member Lucksiga suggested that we should add a sound of some sort when the titles enter and exit the screen. We managed to find a sort of crackling noise that seemed quite effective. 
Lucksiga and I went through the opening and found particular sounds that matched the atmosphere of certain scenes.
For GCSE music I used Garageband so this was an advantage when using it for my AS Media project.
I am happy with the outcome of the soundtrack to go with our opening. It certainly finishes the filming off  and gives it that spooky edge! :O

The Eighth Meeting! :)

Today we went through our footage and changed the brightness and contrast in some of the shots. At points this was tricky as the contrast had to be adjusted at the same time. In some shots we adjusted the light to create a smoky scene because of the candle that features in the film. 
We also started using 'LiveType' to create more creative and original titles and credits. We wanted to have spooky titles to fit in with the genre of our opening.  
We watched the opening of the movie 'Seven' to see what kind of titles we should add and looked at the order in which they appeared :)
