Garageband: Creating All the audio for the horror opening

Today we decided to add some background music and sound effects to our horror opening. This allowed us to get a real idea about how good the opening was. We added music for the opening titles which were:
-Production company
-Distribution company
-Directed by
-Edited by

We then added background mucsic which we used for the remainder of the film which was a churchyard bell sound effect which tied in very well with the setting of the opening. We then added a sound effect for the build up to and including the stabbing of the victim to build up tension.

After this we added a piece of music to the title at the end which was for the name of the film. We used a footsteps sound effect and a door closing together which i feel worked quite well.

Livetype: Creating a Title for the Film

In todays lesson we created a title for the film by using livetype. We called the film 'The Shadow Stalker'. We based the name of the filmon the fact that the killer toom the exact same path as the victim and therefore is like the victims shadow. We are now considering adding music to this title.

Livetype: Creating A Distribution Comapny Title

Today we created a title using livetype for a distribution company name. We chose to use livetype to create this so it looked more professional rather than just using ordinary text in Final Cut Express. We called the distribution company 'Blur Distributions'. We then gave this title screen a background image when played in the opening. We did this by simply saving a photo of a blured face from google and dragging this into the clip.

Returning To Our Film Location

Today we returned to our filming location to re-film a scene of the attacker running away from the victim that he'd just attacked. We had to re-film this because the bushes in the background of the shot were very different in length and these are in some other scenes.

Using Garage band

Today me and my group partner decided to have a go at using the application Garage Band to create a backing track for our horror opening. We played around with this to gain an idea of how it worked what styles of music and diferent instruments worked well together to give a suitable piece of music to go along with out movie.

Using LiveType

Today we decided to create a title for our groups production name which we decided would be 'LS Productions'. We used this application instead of just using the text titles in final cut express we did this so we had a wider choice of title styles, effects and colours.

Applying Titles To Our Footage

Today me and my group partner used the text titles in final cut express to add actors & actresses, camera operator, and production team names to our horror opening. We currently have around 50 seconds of footage.
