Using iMovie Part 2

We then added slide transitions to make our sequence run smoother and look more professional.

I then imported the soundtrack from garageband and put it in sync with our sequence .

I then added titles to it using lens flare.

Using iMovie

This is the original footage we filmed and imported to iMovie.

We then cut it after reducing it to 5s sections and grouped it all together in sequence without any changes.

Creation of Logo

Above are the two steps of creating our logo. To the left is the starting template I created using the line tool increasing the line pixels from 5 upto 20. TO the left is my edited version sing different layers colour and different tools to create different effects.

Inspiration for Stabbing Scene

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VP5jEAP3K4

This scene inspired our stabbing scene within our opening sequence as at first it represents normal behavior and the females vulnerability . 

This relates to when the female in our film is texting and the open space around her shows her vulnerability. The stabbing scene is first

Represented by shadows which disguises her awareness of the killer being present. This is also present in our sequence. The knife is then

shown as the weapon and it uses elliptical editing from the stabbing scene to the female being laid dead which is similar in our sequence.

The above image to the right shows the sound bar we created using cinematic sound loops. The image to the left then shows it split and edited to build up in volume to create a tense atmosphere. Within our sequence it is used as diegetic music.

Creation of Soundtrack

This is the first part of our soundtrack using a piano loop to create some eerie music to include with our titles and create and effect with our audience relating to horror conventions.

History of Horror Conventions

Horror films usually play on the emotions of the audience to influence terror and fear upon the viewer. General themes include death,horrific injuries,mental illness and other criminal acts. Horror films usually have a sub genre within the genre. These normally include murder mysteries,torture or a serial killer. Horror films started around the  1890's in france with films such as "the house of the devil". Horror films were popularized in America in the 1930's by universal studios with films like Dracula and Frankenstein. Films that inspired our ideas were things such as Scream because of the masked killer idea, Halloween because of the idea of a serial killer and also Nightmare on Elm street because of the mystery Enigma. All of these films we have taken ideas from are all examples of slasher horrors.
