Editing the movie's audio


 
After over a week of editing I have recently uploaded the audio footage and found that my actors voice was in too close proximity to the microphone at time of recording so there are occasionally load noises. After googling this I found that I needed to use the bass effect on Premier Pro and decrease the sound, once I had done this I tested out if the noise was still detectable and it appeared to have disappeared. I am very happy with this discovery and feel that Premier Pro is teaching my a lot of valuable lessons for next years course.

Feedback from others

After showing my classmate,Tom, my video in form he had some comments to make for us to improve our thriller. Tom said that he really enjoyed the range of shots and how they conveyed emotions. He also however pointed out that the knife only had blood on one side of it, making it look unrealistic. This is something I will aim to fix in editing. I feel that others feedback is necessary, particularly from the target audience, as he can help us understand what works well and what doesn't.

Filming Day

Today we filmed shots for our thriller, after having a discussion with our former group, we have decided to split into 2 groups, me and Brandon being in one group. We felt this decision was best as 4 in a group means people lack creative control,however everyone is supportive of each other's decision. We decided to keep the existing storyline as we had all decided on this previously and filmed at Brandon's house, using our family members as actors. We spent a whole day filming for this project and are really happy with the result. We will edit our thriller tomorrow in premier pro. See shots of our filming day below.
