Editing: Sound Effects

Hey y'all! Welcome to part 2 of editing for the final task! Today we are doing sound effects. Things are running great and flowing smoothly. Trimming and transitions are done so we have that out of the way. But now it's time for sound effects. Kylie took the job of doing the sound effects but I wasn't familiar with editing sound effects so I applied my current knowledge to help her as well. The plan was to identify the suspenseful or comic relief scenes. This way we can find sounds on YouTube or online to add to the footage. This took a bit of time but about an hour later we found our sound effects. We used iMovie to apply the sound effects to our final task again. Sound effects took time to apply because it required to be on point and specific with timing. After many rewatches and time I basically know my video in and out. This was a very good thing because it helped me understand our power struggle but it helped me a lot with editing! I also had to do more trimming because of the sound effects. More and more effort and time and things are starting to turn amazing. The editing has made this film really suspenseful and understanding. But I believe that's it for today. I'm satisfied with how things look. See you guys for part 3 of editing! Bye!

Creative Critical Reflection - Final Task

1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? Answer: This product utilizes conventions in horror and thriller movies. We used camera angles, music, editing, and dialogue that are commonly used in movies like this. For example, this product has scenes that are close-ups which are used in horror films to show fear in characters or to show what may be happening to change the viewer's focus while watching. In this scene right here we used a close-up to show the killer show that the audience can feel how close the killer was to the main character without her knowing. Almost as a dramatic irony. When the characters don't know what may be going on but the audience does. Overall, the product was truly a thriller because of the amount of suspense it had. Each scene kept building up which is usually what horror/thriller films use. But it does challenge conventions because of costumes. In this scene here the two cops didn

Music: Choosing Audios

Hey y'all! Last addition to the editing portion of the final task! I was doing research on the music that was going to apply to the Final Task. I used many websites, but deciding to stick with what I knew would be the best, it needed to be found on YouTube. I searched for royalty free music and boy oh boy there were MANY to choose from. However, I was stuck between two sounds. One being a constant beat like a timer and the other having suspense in the sound as time went on. Although it was a tough decision to make between me and my group, my group members and I came agreed to choose the second one. The reasoning behind this choice, was simple. It fit the plot of our film and plot better. The first choice was a little to fast paced, meaning that it wouldn't have fit the video. It was also very loud, so it would be hard to both insert and hear non-diegetic sounds. On the other hand, the second one was quiet, but added that suspenseful aspect that I was looking for in the film. A
