Update - Editing Process

On 08/01/2016 our group spent 3 hours in the editing suite, primarily working on sound. We responded to feedback after we premièred our rough cut to the class, cutting out the part where a camera shake is detectable. We spend a lot of time looking for sound, specifically a creepy, eerie score which would add  to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, many of these scores, on sites such as bensound,com and royaltyfreemusic.com were just TOO creepy, and seemed closer to the music in a Horror movie as opposed to a Thriller. Then, I had a brainwave to add in a beat; something that sounded like a heartbeat, but sped up the score and gave it a bit more energy (important for the scenes involving the male character - me). It is for this reason we used a slow, high pitched (copyright free) score downloaded from online, and the instrumental of Lady Leshurr's "Queens Speech 3" - split, looped and distorted to avoid copyright infringements. We worked for a long time to get this perfect, with the group splitting also to create a foley for each different action that needed it in the title sequence, such as the dropping of a matchbox. This was a very productive lesson and was a big step in terms of adding sound to our product. Above are some pictures of the group working very hard, and a Camtasia video illustrating our editing should be uploaded in the next few days so stay tuned.
