Update on progress

We have now filmed our entire media project, and are currently in the process of editing the shots together. All of the shots flow well together at the moment, and the editing is going smoothly. We are having no issues with the program we are using or our shots, so we believe that we have done very well on this task.

We plan to dim some of the shots because we recorded them at the wrong time of day, there isn't a lot of light in the shot, but on our storyboard we said that we would prefer it if the shots were dim and dark to add to the scariness and fear of the viewer. Also it adds a certain pathetic fallacy because darkness reflects certain movies like Se7en which is done in a film noir style and is notably dark throughout, Se7en is a murder mystery, the same as An Eye for an Eye and would love the settings of their professional movie to come out in ours to add that little more effect to the shots and action in the film.

We are still unsure about the music we are going to use, but it likely that we will use Music Junkies and the theme tune to The Bourne Identity by John Powell we will use track 6 (linked below)The Bourne Identity - Escape From Embassy. We feel these are both perfect because they suit the thriller genre well and The Bourne Series is a thriller set of films. It gives a great build up to the real action of the first two minutes of the film, the music gets more intense just as our film does, so it reflects our filming well. Also the music adds to the mystery of the killer, which is very beneficial to our project. The tempo increase of the music works very well.

We want our CCTV shot to be silent because it gives a certain eeriness to the clip, the fact that you cannot hear what is going on makes it much different to the shot with the sound of the attacks, it makes it more of a mystery and that much more scary. In the best case scenario we would also like the shot to have a time displaying in one of the corners so it gives the viewer a sense of what sort of time the murder took place so they know after initially setting the scene for themselves in the chase.

We also felt that the audio for our detective scene wasn't how we wanted it to be, the wind muffled our actors voices,also it will help our experience to try and implement a voice over on this scene. We feel it will make the shot look much better and it will be a lot more clear what the detectives are saying, thus making our film better and adding to the feeling of mystery.

All together we still have quite a few things to do there is a little more editing needed on the shots, the dimming etc but the music is perfectly and the cutting is almost done so we are well on our way to having a finished movie.
