2. To start our movie, we used Footage Crate to create an
ident suitable for our movie, adhering to appropriate
conventions such as blood, connoting violence. We then
used Final Cut Pro to add the titles over the top of our
ident. The audio used over this sequence we downloaded
from copyright free music site FreeplayMusic, to add a
tense atmosphere for the audience and build the feeling of
suspense, embedded on the right.
3. Using Final Cut Pro, I then faded the sound effect downloaded from FreeplayMusic to fade in
the sound of the phone alarm, emphasising the start of the movie and that the title character is
waking up, foreshadowing sinister events are about to occur.
4. We then used the transitions tool on Final Cut Pro to create a fade transition
sequence, to highlight the change in location and further foreshadow the tension
building for the audience in terms of what will happen to the character.
5. We used the effects tool on Final Cut Pro to create a distorted sequence,
using a television screen effect over the top of our footage to make it
appear to the audience as a flashback of the title character’s memories,
introducing the second character, the antagonist, to the audience and the
storyline.
6. Another effect Final Cut Pro enabled us to do was include an
overlay effect, as we wanted to convey the antagonist as a
spirit and create the idea of her haunting the title character.
This proved successful, as we feel it was more effective in
the conveyal of her character rather than basic footage.
