Group: Using Adobe Premier and Cubase

Adobe Premier:

• mask tool
• made killer appear at the window as protagonist walks past
• knew that for shot needed to take one long take of the girl walking past the window and the villain appearing in same window, this is so the camera is in exactly the same place
• some difficulty as camera appeared to have moved position slightly due to using a very little tripod that we used which tilted slightly
• however achieved a smooth transition by zooming in on clip allowing a chance to shift one layer to fit the other
• pleased with result, feedback from teachers and peers also positive

Cubase:

• making sound motif for villain
• using clips from freesound such as child laughter and old musical box sound
• used 'Ping Pong Delay' effect on laughter to create echo
• also used 'Reverb' effect on musical box
• cut parts of laughter and rearranged them and repeated to make prolong laughter as well as cutting the winding up of the musical box and adding it with the rest of the sounds
• also panned different elements of sound and laughter to create a wider, more spooky sound

Shot and sound together:

Variations:

• for different places in the sequence we have made different variations of the sound motif to fit the shot
• using a sudden 'hit', one variation is sudden to fit when the villain suddenly appears
• another uses low rumble which builds up in a crescendo before the rest of the layers of the sound commence
• likewise another doesnt use the 'hit' to reduce the sharp rise of intesity
