Thursday's media lesson
Last Thursday we decided to re-record all of Evan's dialogue , such as when he is singing the nursery rhyme and when he says 'Daisy' at the end of the extract. The reason for this was because, the audio was too quiet and slightly muffled and we understand that sound is very important in the opening sequence, so in order to get the best grade that we can, the audio must sound more professional and clearer. At first Evan was struggling to get the dialogue in sync with the footage, but after a few recordings we managed to get an appropriate recording, which was then uploaded onto the computer and into our editing software.
During our afternoon media lesson we decided to create more voice recordings of News reports with the help of our friends. We originally started to record a few days ago, but after playing back the audio, we discovered that more recordings had to be made in order for the dialogue to overlap each other and flow. In addition, we then decided to disorientate the dialogue as this would create a more realistic and eerie effect and again this would be appropriate for the thriller genre. Later on in the lesson we went to go and re-film the establishing shot of the victim's house and the pressing of the doorbell. The reason for this was because the original footage of the house was lagging and jumped whilst being played , and this made the scene look poorer quality and slower and in the original footage of pressing the doorbell, you could see our reflection in the door's window, and clearly this was un-professional.
Once we arrived at the filming location, we were faced with a problem which was the weather. Due to it being a bright, sunny day and the house being exposed to the sun, I found it hard to not have my shadow appear on the door frame whilst pressing the doorbell. However, we finally managed to find an appropriate camera and hand angle in which the sun couldn't interfere, and fortunately we were able to avoid the shadows. Next we re-filmed the panning shot of the house, but decided to set the camera at 50 frames per second, rather than the original 24 frames per second. This was significant as it slowed the footage down and flow better. Furthermore, after taking a few recordings we were confident that the footage would be better quality and flow more smoothly, so we headed back to our media lesson and uploaded the footage onto Adobe Premier Pro.
