I feel like this wouldn't work to well as it feels too long and might not fit into 5 minuets.
My Story board
these are some before and after clips that I have chosen to darken I chose to do this because I wanted to sutterly put my audience on edge about the box from the start to get them a bit paranoid about the box early and to make them wonder what's in the box with could be so bad.
In this picture the bottom audio I wanted this audio to go through the hole film and not be too loud and be a bit suttle however some parts of the audio was too quite and too loud so as you can see in this image I had to turn some parts up and down to make it more quite or louder when needed
In this picture the green audio is audio I had recorded myself of the mail falling I realise that it was too quite so I turned it up a bit louder i added this in so it sounded realistic as fining one on YouTube wont sound exactly like how its meant to sound and could confuse the audience.
|
In this picture there is some green audio 2nd form bottom this audio was to add tension that you need in a horror and each clip that i felt got tenser I turned up the audio a bit to make the audio sutterly come in if I didn't do this it would have a good effect of building the tension.
In this picture the 2nd to bottom audio clips are just silent I decided to add those into all the places I said cut I didn't want to just get rid of me saying cut and not put it there because the room had some suttle noises so it would sound strange for it to be completely quite so I decided to take some quite bits off different parts of near by audios to make it sound right.
|
In these two last pictures I had to turn some parts of the sound down as it was too loud at certain points what i did is I listened the the audio an whenever it would go red by the noise level i would turn that peak of noise down a little bit so its not too noticeable and isn't too loud.
This is the first edit for my USB short film So far its gone over 5 minuets so what I might do is cut down some clips and remove some clips that feel like they drag on a bit too much, I might remove the cleaning clip if needed as the cleaning clip is quite long. For the ending I'm temped to cut it to the last message he gets and then it cuts as the it will have a bigger effect on the audience thinking what happens next and leave them with lots of questions. Some of the shots are a bit blurred so I plan to find something in colour correction to make it seem less blurred.
