iMovie & Garage Band.

Here is a preview of me editing the shots in iMovie, At first it was very complicated to use especially as a group because we have all never used the software before but lately on we came to terms with it and was able to used different transitions and add background music in to make it look as successful and professional as possible.

Here is another preview of me trying out garage band, this is personally the most difficult software that I used to make my film opening, I find it quite difficult to select the right beat which will match my film opening. However with a lot of practice I am getting to grips with it.

Our music was quite eerie and tense, it had a fast pace which always gave an impression that something mysterious was going to happen this linked with the genre of our film opening of  an psychological thriller and set the atmosphere as it made the audiences intrigued to what was going to happen next.
This is something they used in the american psycho.

Soundtracking is very important in film openings as it gives the audience a feel of what genre the film is and whether the film is going to be interesting. The soundtrack most importantly sets the atmosphere.

Audience Questionnaire.

I made a questionnaire to get the audience opinion, I found that 18-21 year old girls and boys who always watches film favorite genre are psychological horrors which is why I took this into consideration and made my target audience that age.

Final Production Schedule.

Thursday 14th November 2013

LOCATION: Rochester

WHAT WE DID: At around 2:00pm my group left school with all our props and costumes and took a train down to Rochester as it was the best suited location for our film. When we got there we discussed as a group the best shot to film first and what we should film last which took a bit of time. This was good as because it was winter it got dark quickly which gave an impression of a dark, tense and mysterious atmosphere which also set the scene. Carla (the prostitute) and Nicole  (jack the ripper) were the actors for the day so they dressed in the most appropriate costumes which is an example of mise-en-scene as it set the scene. Me, and Marnie were the ones filming so we made sure we got as much shots as possible. This was easier as we used our phones which made it possible for us to have loads of shots of different angles and movements and main parts. We started off filming alley way signs and Rochester buildings and walls as this would produce good shots for the opening scenes and draw the audience in as it will give them a sense of how that time era was. After we decided to get a lot of different shots in different angles of the main characters. We lastly then decided to film the title at the end with the fake blood.
