Green Screen Editing

1) First of all, I had to choose which clips to use in the scene. I decided first of all to use a clip of the protagonist pacing with the antagonist standing in the background. I thought this would portray the stress on her mind, and also indicate that the antagonist, being her imaginary friend is the cause of it.

2) I used the Keyer tool on the protagonist clip, and then dragged on the image of the antagonist in the background. This made sure that the image of the protagonist was in front of the other clip, to avoid it looking unrealistic. I then had to export this clip before I could put a background image on.



3) I chose the background of the shot as a picture of a padded cell, as I thought this would look effective against her pacing as it would show her to be in a room which makes it look more 3D and effective than against a flat 2D background.

4) I put the 'Keyer' effect on the green screen image, which enables me to change the background.

5) I used the 'crop' tool on the padded cell image, to remove the black borders around it as this made it look unprofessional. I cropped the image 16.5 pixels on the bottom and 16.5 pixels on the top, which made it perfect for the image.

6) Then, I had to make sure the green screen image was smoothly in front of the image. I played around with the 'Keyer' tool and made sure that 'Fill Holes' was on 0, Edge Distance was on 5.0 and Spill level was on 45.%.

7) It still seemed after this that there was a grey hue around the head of the protagonist. Therefore, I used the Shrink/Expand on -2.0 to get  rid of this issue.

8) I did the same thing on many other clips, playing around with the setting to make some elements transparent in order to see what style I liked best.

This is an example of using a different style of 'keyer' called 'Luma Keyer' which makes the image in front much more transparent and luminous. I thought this style could maybe be useful to convey the distorted, hazy nature of her mind.

Evaluation 

Pros

• The pacing clip in front of the padded cell image is effective as it conveys how she feels trapped within her own mind and can't escape from her illness.
• Having the antagonist in the background standing still makes her seem ominous and therefore aids the psychological genre.

Cons

• If we were to film again, I would like to try and film with more of a Full Shot as it would maybe look more realistic, however this isn't much of a problem.
• The pacing clip is a little too slow for the montage as all the clips need to be fast to fit in with the fast, dramatic pace of the scene. Therefore, we need to speed up the clip in some way to fix this. 

Sound production for Time lapse and Library scene

Sound

It is vital that we start to work on our sound now that our filming is completed and our editing is well underway. We need to be able to provide sound throughout our trailer in a professional manner.

Time lapse and library scene

Our trailer opens with a time lapse and library scene of which both focus predominantly on the protagonist. We started to collate a few ideas around non diegetic sound for this scene and decided that it would be best to produce an instrumental piece of sound. To do this we used Logic Pro. Once I decided on the most effective motif, I played around with the left hand accompaniment to make sure that the foundation of the motif layer was sufficient. I continued to manipulate the motif in ways that I could to produce different sound with it that allowed to build the tension as it developed. Once I was satisfied with the layers surrounding the motif it was time to put them together. We are also using a white noise sound effect, which has already been edited into our footage to convey the protagonists discomfort and build the tension as things spiral out of control.
 Although, an issue I ran into was the difference in note values. In order to overcome this I was able to double click on the audio track and either slide or squeeze the length of notes to correct the mistakes. This proved to be extremely helpful as it saved me from recording again.

Evaluation of time lapse and library scene sound:

Looking back over our research we realised that using an instrumental track for the opening would be the best idea. This is because we would be able to manipulate it easily and build up more of a suspense. Overall, we think that the sound for the time lapse and library scene is effective as it doesn't give too much away but still hints at disequilibrium in the narrative of the trailer as it develops.

Montage and green screen sound
As well as our time lapse and library scene being key parts of our trailer. So is our montage and green screen scenes. When using the green screen, we have already established that we are going to be using whispers layered on top of each other that repeat the name "Charley" as the protagonists imaginary friend whispers into her ear. We also felt that this was very effective as it is specific to our characters and we have been able to manipulate it further to create the discomfort that we were aiming for.

 Additionally, we have also decided to use generic trailer transition sounds such as loud crashes and bangs as the protagonist loses her grip on reality. A key scene that we could apply these sounds to would be the scene where the protagonist stalks the antagonist - Charley, via Facebook and webcam. As well as using the generic trailer sounds, we will be able to layer the discordant sounds on top of the eerie melody of the piano without it sounding off key as these sounds tend to not be homed by any such key. We also have a lot of choice when it comes to manipulating the sound to sound eerie and discomforting due to our prior research that is shown below:

Now that we non diegetic sound for the beginning of our trailer, we need to make sure that we edit it into our footage. Following on from that we also need to be able to narrow down what sounds that we wish to use as we are only limited to 1 minutes worth of sound. Once we have decided on the sounds that we are going to use, instead of layering the sounds that we wish to use in iMovie, we will need to manipulate them and create one track solely for entire sound that we will use for our trailer. This will hopefully avoid the problem of confusing sounds and having too many tracks when editing. Therefore, if we wish to add any further tracks, e.g. the white noise sound effect, we will be able to build tension sufficiently without it sounding unprofessional. 

Evaluation of montage

 Over the last week we have filmed some extra scenes for our montage sequence. We examined the news clips which had been imported into our project, and decided that they were very effective, they add a sense of realism and make sure that we are showing a link back to our focus - mental illness and CCTV.

Another good thing about these clips is that it adds more to our plot, nothing specific so the audience is left wanting more, but it gives more of a context to our work so they can grasp what the whole film would be about.

The extra scenes we filmed for the montage add a certain level of depth to our trailer. The scene in the rain helps to show both the depressive mindset our characters are experiencing, and also creates quite a gloomy atmosphere which fits in with the rest of our footage and editing that has been done to the colours.

We also filmed the scene where the sandbag is placed over our victim's head, this is effective in our trailer as we literally only need to show a couple of seconds for an important message to be put across to our audience. It will mean they immediately know there is a sense of violence in our film and that due to the schizophrenia our protagonist has been pushed to extremes.

The combination of the other extra shots we filmed to be used in the montage sequence will give us a lot more freedom in the editing stages. It will mean that we have the option to either split up the different news clips and clips from other sources, or have them together with our shots together. The shots of our victim waiting to move, and the footsteps both portray two different ideas to the audience. It makes the victim seem even more isolated and also creates the sense of being followed, making her appear to be even more vulnerable, and provides a bit of a build up to our loft scene.

Making the Poster A4

-One thing I noticed when creating the poster was that the image was square, I realised we wouldn't be able to use if it this was the case therefore I researched the size of an A4 sheet and resized the image.
- This meant that the image appeared a bit stretched, however it could just be that it looks different to the previous image and wouldn't be that noticeable if someone who had never seen the poster before looked at it.
- When I did this I then noticed that the title was obviously too big and the typography didn't fit, therefore I had to resize all of this as well and so that it would look okay.
- However now all the typography looks squashed therefore I will need to create the tagline again on the poster so that it is the correct size and so that it doesn't pixilate and then I will need to drag the title 'UNHINGED' back onto the poster.
- Because I had to reinsert the tagline I then decided to play around with the shadows and blurriness of the text.

- In the tagline below I duplicated the layers and made the second one extremely blurry so that it would be a shadow underneath the text.
- I then made herself blurrier than the rest to show that the line between what is real and what isn't is very fuzzy for our protagonist.
- I then also inserted images of the production companies we are using and put them in the gaps visible on either side of the text.

Montage Editing

 1) First, I had to download all the clips from youtube and then choose which parts of the footage to use in our montage. I then exported every two youtube clips together with the desired short clips and exported them.

2) Then, I transferred the material to school and imported them into final cut. I also had to import the filming that we did of the victim being kidnapped, as well as the green screen footage that I recently edited.

3) I had to sort through the footage and decide what to use and what not to use.

4) I went through all the youtube clips and made sure each clip was suitable for the montage by cropping certain clips so that there was not too much of a large black border around this, as this would seem unprofessional.

5) Then, I dragged all the footage into the project and made them the right length. As it is a montage it is necessary for all the shots to be short and snappy. I cropped all the footage so that it was 1 second long, so that it would all be the same length and not look messy.

6) I took inspiration from the Sinister trailer, as well as other trailers by using a black transition screen in between the 1 second clips, to add drama. I made sure all transitions were 0:15 seconds long, for effect.

7) I repeated the same for all the footage we imported, and then dragged in the youtube clips. I used a specific order of: kidnapping scene > transition > mental illness clip > kidnapping scene, so that it would make more logical sense.

8) I made clips nearer the end of the montage become increasingly shorter as this would make it more and more dramatic as it goes on, leading to the climax scene which is the loft scene.

Evaluation

Pros

• Effective at building tension before the climax, which is important in a trailer.
• Conventional of genre- inspiration taken from Sinister
• Uses clips from old fashioned documentary, effective and adds to surreal effect

Cons

• Some of the lighting is dark, however we can fix this in later stages. 
• Some of the clips are too fast to be seen properly at the end- will have to reorder some of the clips. 

Putting our typography onto the website

When putting the typography onto our website we had encountered some problems recently, because we hadn't been able to save the text with a transparent background correctly.

First of all, I wanted to get to the bottom of our saving problem. I opened up the file, selected it, and the background was transparent. However the file was too big so I began by cropping it.

Here I de-selected the text, and decided to crop the image so it was just a line of text.

Here you can see I have cropped the text, so I then went to 'Save As..' and saved the file as a PNG file so that the background was transparent. I had no problems with this and then went onto putting it onto the website.

Because of the problems we had encountered last week, I wanted to check that we weren't placing the image on our website wrong, so I did a test by coding the image to be displayed. This worked, and I was able to bring up the image and it was successful because it had the transparent background. However, at this point I encountered another problem, the typography was black and therefore wouldn't show up on our website background.

In order to change the colour of the typography, I had to make it again from scratch, because once you have written the text you 'rasterize' it, meaning you can no longer change the font colour. It didn't take me too long and I applied the same effects as before making sure the text was white and the canvas was transparent.

I then cropped the image and here you can see me applying the 'wind' effect to our typography, demonstrating our typography manipulation. I then proceeded to save the image in the same way as before with a transparent background.

After testing placing the image using html code, I could just position the image on using Wix's built in feature,  I resized the tag line so that it would fit and then deleted the old, temporary one and positioned the new one.








For the title, I had a similar issue, because again it had been coloured black. I did a quick test and imported it onto the website, it was transparent but there were issues with the colours, it looked unprofessional and unclear.







I then went back into Photoshop and started work on trying to recolour this. I didn't have time to re start the typography from scratch, so I had to use the 'fill' tool and zoom in to recolour it to white. Before saving I cropped the image and again saved it with a transparent background.

Here you can see as I was positioning it on the website, I deleted the old title and resized the image so that it would fit in place. I think that together it works well and looks professional.








Here you can see the finished website, and on reflection I think that one of our next tasks should be changing the typography of the page font and review fonts.

Official Storyboard

Box 1:

- This box demonstrates the time lapse at the beginning, which will be of the sun going down/up as the protagonist is sitting against a tree reading. 

Box 2 & 3:

- These boxes is show the library scene where there are close up shots of hands, eyes and faces, long shots of the protagonist and the antagonist, and pov shots. This scene will provide the equilibrium before the trailer gets worse. 

Box 4:

- This box shows the scene where the protagonist is spying on the antagonist, here we have some close up shots of lips and legs, we have high angle shots of the antagonist doing stuff such as drying her hair, we have over the shoulder shots of the protagonist, we have an establishing shot of the antagonist's room which is edited with a flashing recording sign. 

Box 5:

- This is the green screen section, where we have the protagonist scrolling through the antagonist's facebook page until she comes across an upsetting post and she slams the laptop shut. Then we have her imaginary friend whisper 'Charley' repetitively into her ear. 

Box 6:

- Here we have the physical stalking scene where the camera stays the same with a long shot of the antagonist walking down an alley way and turning out, and then it pans down to see the protagonist's feet waiting for the antagonist at the end of the alleyway. 

Box 7:

- This portrays the montage scene, where we will have shots from the green screen, close up shots and shots that were taken from other footage found on YouTube that is relevant to our trailer. 

Box 8:

- This is the final scene, here we have close up shots of the antagonists face, POV shots of the room and her body tied up to a chair, and a long shot of her tied to a chair and screaming. This is the final scene which will hopefully provide the jump at the end. 

Evaluation:

- I feel that the way the scenes progress are suitable as they raise enough tension and although not much is revealed I feel enough has been revealed to ensure the audience is following.

Finalising the poster

Step 1:
First of all I started making the bottom credits for the poster.
To do this I needed to download a suitable font, similar to all the other bottom credits. For this I chose Universal Accreditation.

I then created the two tier words such as 'executive producer' and followed this by all our names.
The font colour was changed to white and the overall font size was made no. 17.

Step 2:
I then added in the typography which Danielle made earlier. I separated the line into two sections so that it would fit into the poster.

I narrowed the text a little bit so that it was more spindly.
Finally I added into the poster the final word 'herself' and I made this slightly bigger than the rest of the text so that it stood out and was noticeable as this was our main concern.


Evaluation: 
Altogether I think this poster is suitable for our trailer, however I feel like I might need to tweak how the typography is positioned on the page as 'herself' should probably be a bit lower down, perhaps even sitting on 'Unhinged.'
Another issue is that because the tagline was done in another project meant that when I transferred it onto the poster it was a bit distorted, therefore it probably has to be redone on the poster.

Wix: Typography

Wix: Typography 

When creating our website we needed to consider many things. Our chosen typography was a vital feature for our website. 

From the picture, you can see that we have not inserted our own typography yet. We are able to insert the manipulated title of our trailer onto the website. To do this, we saved it on a transparent background and uploaded it as an image to our Wix page and hoped to replace it rather than using the font that was there. However, once we uploaded the image of our title typography it still showed up with a grey background, despite having a transparent background when it was saved. Overall, this was not successful at all. 

Apart from our typography for our title we also needed to use our chosen typography for the majority of our trailer. However, this caused many issues as Wix does not allow you to use your own font. After researching into it we found out that we could only use our own font via HTML or JPG code which would extremely time consuming. 

Overall, we found that using our own typography will cause many problems and will prove to be too time consuming especially as we have a limited time to produce our website to an excellent standard. In order to overcome the problem of our title we may have to make our title again in Photoshop and apply it onto our website. 

Tag line typography manipulation

Tag line typography manipulation

In terms of our typography for our tag line, we need to make sure that it is different from the typography that we used for our title. 

We decided to use the font called "OldStyle" as we thought it was basic enough to manipulate and it also fit in well with the rest of our chosen typography. I started off by opening up a new file in Photoshop and making sure that my canvas was transparent therefore allowing it to be transferred onto our poster without any fuss. When typing our tagline into Photoshop, we decided to separate "herself" from the majority of the tagline so it would give us the option to move it around our poster.

In order to manipulate our typography we applied a "wind" effect to our tagline. To do this we went to filter - stylize- wind and then selected wind from the menu going from the right. This made the typography look extremely worn out. This fits in well with our poster and our title as the mise en scene looks worn out as does our typography for our title. 

This is the finished typography. In terms of manipulation it doesn't show how it has been manipulated explicitly. Overall, this is not as effective as it looked in Photoshop, however it fits in extremely well with our poster. 

Final Cut Pro Effects

1) First of all I imported the relevant files onto Final Cut Pro.

2) Then, I started playing around with the available effects to make the scene more effective overall.

3) I chose the effect 'Trails' with the Duration on 0.08, the Echoes on 2.0 and the Trail on Light only on the POV clips. This was used to show the blurred vision of the Victim which indicates that she has been drugged or injured badly, also emphasising the POV element of the shot.

4) I then chose the 'Cool Tones' effect with the Amount on 70.0, the saturation on 50, the Value on 25.0 and the Shadows on 0.75. I thought this effect made the whole scene look more cold and chilling. Previously, the shots were too warm and lit up to have very scary feel.

5) Finally I used the 'Bad TV' effect. I used this on a shot of the Victim asleep. I used a 0.4 second clip half way through and then a 0.9 clip later on. On the first clip I used Bad TV with Gaussian Noise with the Amount on 10.27 and on the second clip I used Gaussian Noise with the Amount on 30.27.
This was done to indicate the deterioration during the scene.

Evaluation

Overall, the effects make the scene look more effective at putting across the relevant points, such as how the Victim has been drugged. It gives a more successful climax to the trailer as it looks more chilling and bleak, highlighting what is happening in the scene.

Storyboard: Montage Scene

Montage Scene

We are now at the stage of editing our montage scene together. We have decided to place it at the end of our trailer so we want it to be as effective as possible. Since our first initial storyboard, we have made a few changes. 

To begin the montage scene we are using our green screen footage of the protagonist stalking Charley via Facebook. We have then decided to use footage of news and documentary clips that focus on patients that suffer with Schizophrenia.  Our documentary footage also includes a shot of the human brain, therefore we are able to reiterate the fact that our trailer falls into the psychological genre. 

We have decided to use a range of shots too, therefore we add to the creativity of our trailer. We have included a shot of the protagonist as she stares at her reflection in the mirror to reveal her imaginary friend running mascara own her face. From this point onwards, we thought it would be good to include some of our green screen footage that uses our protagonist and her imaginary friend. 

Following this, we will then have another shot of some news and documentary footage that focuses on the psychological aspect of our trailer and shows the depths that some affects can have on schizophrenic patients. We are then having an extreme close up of our protagonists medication and a close up as she pours her pills into her hand. 

The last four shots of our montage scene will include a build up to the last scene of our trailer which is the loft scene. For the montage we are using the last of our green screen footage of our protagonist pacing up and down rapidly as her imaginary friend watches her. We will then use an extreme close up of the footsteps of our protagonist as she walks along following the antagonist ( Charley). 

We are then going to use the last of our documentary footage to reiterate the psychological aspect of the trailer before ending our montage scene with a shot of Charley being captured by our protagonist as she places a sandbag over her head. Once the montage scene is completed, it will establish the foundation of the loft scene, which is the last scene of our trailer. 

Evaluation of the Green Screen

All members present though one left soon after starting due to other commitments. 

Scenes taken:
- For this we had some shots of Natasha pacing up and down, both with and without her imaginary person standing in the corner watching her.
- We also had her spinning around again and again to demonstrate her mental instability.
- Furthermore we had shots of her staring into the camera at different proximities to it so that we can edit it so that she jumps forward.

Evaluation:
- Overall we feel we have enough for the montage section and we should hopefully not need to re-film.
- We were pleased with the shots that we took and we feel these shots will add something to the trailer. - The lighting within the room was suitable as it wasn't too dark and it wasn't too bright which is what it was like last time we filmed.
- We were pleased with the filming even though we couldn't really do another shot as the green screen is too narrow to film zoomed out, therefore we do feel that we've been quite restricted however we've used this to ensure we are careful with the positioning of the actor.

Adjustments to our website

In recent weeks, I have been working hard on editing the background image for our website, and have encountered many problems along the way. This week I got started on trying to fix them as best I could.

Because the background image for our poster features important points on both the left and right hand side, it makes it very hard to arrange everything while keeping it in place. Combining this with different screen sizes makes it almost impossible to position everything correctly, mainly the actual YouTube window for our trailer to be shown in. After researching for a little while, I found the magnet tool on the settings window of the YouTube window. This stuck it to that part of the background, I then checked on both a mac, windows computer at school, and my laptop that it stayed in position, solving our arrangement issues. I then applied this effect to other parts of the web page, such as the reviews and social networking links to ensure everything stayed in place.

After looking at websites made by previous media students, we noticed that they had made the most of their background and had used it to add some more exciting elements to the web page, such as a time lapse in the background. Our back ground image isn't really suited to this, however, we did think about trying to do something with our protagonist's imaginary friend. Since she is wearing a black jacket, it means that if we blacked out her face, it would look like a dark shadow approaching in the background. We decided a flickering effect would work quite well on our website.

Firstly, I used Photoshop to create a new version of our final photograph, where the imaginary friend was just a shadow in the background. I then had two potential methods of creating the effects with the two images, I could either set up a slide show in the background using both the images, however after trying this out, I realised that I couldn't get the two pictures to change quickly enough for it to look good, so I then created a gif in Photoshop using to the two images.

I preferred how this looked much more, and it meant only one file had to be uploaded to the website. Therefore I used this and it can now be seen on our published website.

There were also a few minor changes I made to the website, such as giving the reviews sources, and moving the end of the tag line to fit with the first half, as it became misleading, and was following the conventions of a poster rather than a website.

Choosing a production company

We have reached the stage in editing where we are able to pick and insert a production company in the beginning of our trailer. We have previous completed a post on possible choices, which can be found here.

As a group, we also had another idea about a possible production company to use, Summit. Summit Entertainment is part of Lions Gate Entertainment, and is used in films very similar to our genre. Therefore it is a good option to consider. We decided that we really like the version which is used at the beginning of the trailer for the film 'Sinister', and this was especially handy because it is so short, and we will most likely be short for time when editing our trailer, so a quick showing of the production company would be helpful.

Here you can see the 'Sinister' trailer, and the production company is shown at the beginning:

We also wanted to look back at the previous post we had completed on production companies, and see which one might suit the footage we have now obtained. I decided that the Imagine Entertainment production company logo was suitable, and was also wasn't too long. It suited our trailer because of the dark colours, much of our trailer is quite dark, and it immediately comes across as being a psychological/horror film. 

You can see the production company logo here:

That leaves us with two options, I have downloaded both and for now have inserted the Summit Productions logo into our trailer, as it gives us the most freedom with timing in the rest of our trailer. I also think the off-white background matches up with our titles quite well. However, we will keep the other option open just in case we need more time to fill in our trailer. 

Clips for the montage

CLIP 1: In this clip at 0:48 there is a shot of a brain scan which we thought would be quite useful to use in the montage as it links to the psychological genre.
The colours in this were different shades of blue which also links in with the modern interpretation of horror.

CLIP 2: We also thought including news clips about mentally ill people would be effective, and so we found this one where at 29 seconds the woman says 'mentally ill.'
This could be a very short jump cut in our trailer within the montage, we decided to choose a news clip because it has a professional feel.

CLIP 3: This clip is another news report which we thought we could use. The beginning of the clip is the part we are most likely to use as the news reporter states that he is going to a mental hospital. There are also parts where they are talking about the man's insanity plea. This would obviously link to our trailer quite well and could also be included in the montage.

CLIP 4: The beginning of this documentary has old footage of people gagging an insane woman. We felt this would be another good clip to put in the montage because it could demonstrate her fears.
The effect of this scene is quite creepy and therefore would work well with our genre of psychological horror.

CLIP 5: At 27 minutes 07 seconds there is a shot of a man saying in another language that 'Mental Illness is a hereditary evil."This would clearly put across our point about discrimination and about the bad attitudes people have towards mental illness.

CLIP 6: In this clip there is a shot of the news reporter saying that man stabbed himself and decapitated his cat 'because the voices told him to.'
The part about the voices could be used in the montage parts as once again it links to our trailer but this time its much more explicit as we also have voices in our trailer.

Evaluation 
We would probably use most of these clips as they will only be a few seconds long however the last one might not be used as it is rather modern and it doesn't seem particularly professional. The rest of them however are relevant to the trailer and are all quite short.

Sound Timeline

Time lapse - Library Scene

At the beginning of the trailer, we would like the music to be much slower and with a sad tone to make sure that the audience can tell that we intend them to sympathise with her and her illness.
I like this piece of music because it is extremely simple and starts off very slow which makes it more poignant, especially when coupled with the time lapse.
We will consider stopping the sad piece of music at the abrupt moment when the full shot of the Protagonist is revealed banging her head, and then continuing with another piece at the next title screen.



Another option is to continue the simple piano piece (although stop it shortly at the abrupt moment) but start a more dramatic sounding piece over the top of it at the next title screen, something like this so that it blends more smoothly.

Bedroom Webcam Scene

At this point we would potentially have an upbeat pop track to indicate what the Victim would be listening to in her bedroom, however at each shot of the protagonist the music would distort to give a more chilling effect. This would then lead into the more distorted, scary sounding track for the rest of the trailer.
However, another option would be to just continue the piano music but with layers of dramatic and creepy soundtrack over the top, to indicate at the fear this part of the trailer is supposed to induce. This may be more successful as otherwise in the short space of a minute we would have too many different sounding soundtracks which may be unprofessional.

Montage Scene

We will take inspiration from Sinister trailer for the montage scene, as we will have a repetitive sound which gets increasingly fast until it pauses for a couple of seconds before a loud shrill sound.
During the montage scene, we will have to find a noise which replicates this but is relevant to our trailer, which then during the few seconds of the victim waking up in the lift pauses, and then we will hear her loud shrill scream.

We may also use the idea of having sound effects specifically placed at each title to give them more emphasis.

Loft scene

We will have to edit the scream so that is it maybe louder and more shrill, as well as maybe including some other sounds over the top of it like a low bang sound which would help make the audience jump at this stage, which is our aim.

Editing the loft scene

The loft scene is the last part of the trailer which provides the climax. It must be very short, but the scariest and most shocking part of the trailer in order to provide the effect we need.
It consists of a slow montage sequence and then a fast paced climax which shows the actor realising that she has been kidnapped.

 1) To begin with I chose the relevant clips for the scene. I selected many clips which features the shot out of focus and then gradually coming into focus in order to show her waking up.

2) I included many slow panning shots as this gives a
sleepy effect which mimics her awaking.

3) I put all this clips in the relevant order, and then changed the timing of them by either slowing them down or speeding them up.

4)  I made the clips of the lightbulb, which shows the light being too bright at the beginning, with a slow pan to make it seem as though she is just waking up.

5) I included a eye-line match shot featuring her head looking downwards and then a close-up POV shot of her seeing her hands bloodied by her sides.

Evaluation

• The visual effects are effective and create added tension.
• The POV shots put across a sense of perception, conventional of genre.
• The variation in camera angles and shots makes it interesting to watch.
• The lighting changes make the lighting suit the genre by making it darker and creepier.
