1. -580736-570923<br />We created the production title using Adobe after Effects CS5. The sound was from a sound downloading website which allowed us to download sound and sound effects for free. The website is called www.sounddogs.com. Some of the sounds downloaded were edited later on to make it matching with the footage. Using white writing on a black background makes the title much clearer. <br />-590549-571500<br />Here we see the protagonist for the first time. We see her straight after the first title. The location used here shows a very dull looking place. It’s very deserted and empty looking. The trees have no leaves which indicate winter, which is the dullest season of the year. The way the character stands in the middle help illustrate that she isn’t in a comfortable environment. Because she stands in the centre we are forced to notice here and see her as the main object. We see the character as a young female (teenager) who has dressed casually. The sound we hear is downloaded legally from the website www.sounddogs.com. We downloaded only 3 tracks and the edited them in final cut pro in order to make it matching to the footage. <br />-563479-568492<br />Here we get to see our main character from a point of view shot. The camera is being handheld which gives it a shaky effect. The audience is supposed to get a feeling as if they were spying on her. Here the sound is very gentle and slow paced but it still remains creepy and scary, especially after we start to hear the voiceovers saying “can you hear me now” and etc. Due to this Point-of-view shot (POV) we are told to follow the protagonist.<br />-568325-570230<br />This is a running clip which filmed by using a handheld camera. The camera person was told to run on the graveyard’s pathway as fast as they could so that the footage would come out very shaky. We decided to diegetic sound here in order to create tension. What we can hear in this footage is heavy breathing, feet scraping the floor and the wind. The footage so far is already very mysterious but with this clip cutting in 3 times at sudden timing makes the whole experience even more mysterious. The footage has been reversed as well to give it an extra twist in terms of being ambiguous. According to the target audience who watched the final outcome, they thought the film was going to be about time travelling, as the footage was reversed. People also thought there was going to be a flashback since the colour of the footage changed to give it a 3D and distorted look. Over all the inclusion of the running clip makes the audience confused but in a positive way. It makes the wonder why it’s there and that leads them to wanting to watch the rest. <br />-619125-571500<br />This shot here can be described as an establishing shot even though it may not look like one. It sets out the location I which the character is opening the gate to. We can see by the look of it that’s it’s a graveyard. We the tombstones dug to the ground in different postures, which could state that it’s a very untidy graveyard. It changes the mood from being very mysterious to being scarier; people start to get sense of the creepiness of the video. Some members of our target audience said they thought that the way she was looking around all confused had a great impact, because it looked like she was reacting to the voiceovers that we had overlapped though out the title sequence with. The sound track used in this clip is called ‘Satanic Chorus’. This sounds very creepy and stimulating. The sound is very unusual, all we here is different types of instruments and church bells. There is also part where we are able to hear choir singers. This sounds very scary.<br />-624052-573471<br />This is the first time we use a transition, this surreal transition makes the two separate clips fade slowly and gently. This gives it a ghostly effect as it the transition is white. During the transition we the whole graveyard seems to glow and it suddenly looks like a better place, this is only for a while until the fading is over. We carry on hearing strange voiceovers combined with the satanic chorus sound track in the background. We wanted to experiment with two completely opposite themes to make this sequence. As results this came out very well. According to our target audience this transition was one of the highlights of this sequence. <br />-601981-582930<br />This is the title of our film. Wraith is a word related to ghosts and spirits. We thought the name would go well with our sequence. Most members of our target audience had no idea of what the word even meant. After the main title they wanted to see more as they wanted to know what the word “Wraith” had to do with this. There are effects added to it so that it makes it look blurred which gives it a distorted and abnormal appearance. The font we used here is the same as what we used for the other titles. The font has a cranky appearance so that nit looks broken, worn out and distorted.<br />-592521-573470<br />Instead of using another transition we used two separate sounds to make the next cut seem continues. Here we see a 360° POV shot, we used this shot technique so that it would look like the character looking around. The panning shot we used here is very slow as we wanted to make it look like the character was looking around.<br />-592521-573471<br />In this shot our character (protagonist) goes near the church door, it’s almost like as if she is forced to touch the door. She strokes the church door gently until a sudden uncomfortable scream is heard. This screaming sound is a sound track that we download legally from www.sounddogs.com. According to the target audience feedback, they thought the girl was being possessed by the voiceovers that we hear. The wooden church door makes the graveyard look old. This is a typical Mise-en-scene for thriller films, to use big, wooden doors, when it comes to clips that are related to graveyard themes or churches. As it states above I the annotation we chose have this slow reaction to the sound as we are letting the audience know that the character isn’t very normal. She is taking her time to react which tells the audience that she doesn’t quite trust her own feelings and senses. She is also made to look paranoid. <br />-587543-568492<br />274671924463This shot was filmed on the upper deck on the bus. We wanted to make it look like she was a very lonely character. We can see on her body language that she prefers to be alone. She wants to be separated from everything; she doesn’t trust anyone, which is why she prefers to sit on the upper deck, at the back where there is less people. We shot this by making the camera man sit on a seat that was in front of the character. This makes it look like someone is spying on her. A lot of our shots are filmed using POV as that’s the way we create the tension and the thrilling parts. One member of the target audience thought that someone was stalking her, something that neither we nor the character could see. During this we decided to add the same clip in but reverse it this time.<br /> The audience really likes this just the way they liked the running clips with 3D effects added to it. We make the character listen to music on her iPod, to show she is ignoring the sound that we can hear. It shows she is fed up with it (she’s in her own world now). This can be related to our target market as most of them listens to music, very commonly on the bus.<br />-592521-573471<br />At this point we have tiny breaks in the sound. We did this in order to make it sound distorted which relates to what the character is feeling like at the moment. 20306801969993The title appears again as it does in the film Se7en. We kept the same effect but we made it smaller this time. We decided to have many of the jumping around.<br />We can see props such as the glass with water and the pills. This shows that she has some kind of medical condition. The blanket shows that she is cold. The headphones next to her also illustrate that she is a typical teenage girl. <br />-587542-568492<br />Here is another POV shot; here we see what the character is seeing. The camera is handheld again to give that realistic effect. We use the same sound as we used in the start to show that the title sequence is about to end. <br />-601980-582930<br />Here we see our character being distressed. She decides to take a pill with some glass of water we don’t know why she is taking it though. Many members of our target audience thought that she was committing suicide. They could relate this to bullying and people and teenagers committing suicide as a result of that. We can tell that she will not die as she is our main character in the film. <br />
