Post Production



 I made the title shots using fonts, which I found on a website called www.dafont.com 

I then used them on Adobe Photoshop to make the title scenes. I also print screened an image of the ‘the following preview’ shot from a video off of YouTube.
Our schedule for editing was delayed quite a bit because we had trouble transferring our data from the camera to the computer. We found out that we needed a FireWire cable, and that there was not one in the school. We went around the school trying to find one, but no-one had or could find one.


We did borrow one off of a friend, so we started editing around the 9th of March. It didn’t go too bad; there were of course a few snags here and there, where clips would jump about, trouble cutting them down and not being able to figure out how to speed the clip up without making it shorter, in the end we left it in the original speed.

We also changed the font we used because we thought the original one was unclear so we used another one which we believed was much clearer.

 


The other part of the editing that was difficult was trying to get the eyes go red, it was hard to try and re layer the edited image over the actual footage, and time it right.
Once I had got hold of the sound clips, which Aaron downloaded and he found a really creepy score of music, called Blood Theme, by Daniel Licht, I cut the song down in a software called Audacity, and made one section quieter, so that when the footage begins the song becomes background noise. The three of us also recorded our own voices saying ‘Go into the Loft’ in different pitches, and I layered them over each other so that it sounded ghostly.


Once I had finished the editing, I exported it in each different format to see which one was the clearest.
