REBECCA G321

The type of music you use is very important in a thriller as sound can help in building enigma. The type of music you chose is also important it must go well with your thriller. When it came to choosing what kinda sound I wanted, I went on the web site incompetech to help me chose appropriate sound, the kind of music I chose to use was vey fast pasted upbeat, action music. The reason for choosing this music is because the paste of the score was really good and went very well with our final product

I also used other sounds for our final product, I used a variety of impact sounds, the first one I used was a typewriter sound, I used this sound right at the end of my final when it says “…48hours before”.

The second impact sound I used was stone crash on the floor, I used this for when the title Rebecca appears and comes down.

I also used impact sound at the beginning of our opening sequence, when the logo comes in it goes round then stops as it stops we here a sound, which sounds a bit like a gun shot. And then below our logo “capturing movies in high definition” comes in with a sharp sword sound.

All the different sound we used went very well with our final product; it helped build lot of suspense and tension which is what we wanted.

Software Used - (Safia Shafi)

Software Used

We used many software’s to create our blog and will also be using some of these software’s when it comes to making our thriller. One of the software’s we used is Scribd, we uploaded our production schedule, production brief and our script on Scribd then put it on our blog, it is a very easy and straightforward software to use, we decided to use this software to make our blog as interactive as possible, using this software has given our blog a more professional and organised look.

Another Software that we used is bubbl.us, Laura used this software to create our brainstorm, it is a really good software for creating brainstorm cause it allows you to freely look at the brain storm, you can zoom in and out and navigate it left, right, up and down. Using this software has made our brainstorm look interesting and colourful.

The only problem with this software is that every now and then it doesn’t show on our blog, but this is a problem we will try to overcome in the future.

Final cut pro is software we used and we will be using in the future, unlike the other software this software is more complicated to use and is quite hard to use. It’s editing software that we used to edit our preliminary task and that our editor safia will be using to edit our thriller, I also used this software to edit our pitch and weekly update. After editing the preliminary task I found that once you get used to using it, it becomes easier to use. In the future I hope that as the editor I am able to use this software with no problems.

To create our logo tobi used Photoshop which is a software she is experienced in using, because she is experienced in using this software she was able to create an eye catching logo that is unique. She found this software very easy to use and was able to create the logo with no trouble.

Also some of the things we uploaded were created using paint, which is by far the easiest to us out off all the software, this is because the software is very straight forward and easy to follow.

To upload all our videos we used YouTube, we first uploaded it on YouTube and then uploaded it on our blog, we sometimes had lots of trouble with uploading our videos on YouTube, for example when it came to uploading our weekly update it took longer than expected, the first time we tried one of my group members Laura waited almost two hours but it still wouldn’t upload so we decided to try it on another computer, but YouTube was the problem not the computer so eventually after trying so many times we managed to upload it.

New Logo and Title Squence Design - Olutobi Odeleye

This is our New logo, which is quiet different from the other one....

Here is a step by step guide on how I made the title sequence on adobe photoshop CS5.

Step 1 : I opened a new layer and titled it rebecca
Step 2: I when on text and placed it on the layer, and typed rebecca
Step 3: In the layer box on the right hand side, I went on blending options.
Step 4: Then I used shadow, glow, Emboss.etc....
Step 5: Layer, Merge Layer.
Step 6: Save file as JPG.

This adds to the effects mood and feeling we hoping to evoke as a thriller genre.
