For our opening scene, we used GarageBand to compose and construct various music pieces that would suggest themes of a thriller and add a suspenseful build up. Through developing the piece, we've often changed the music to match the scene more closely.
We decided to overlay the credits over our piece. We kept the font quite plain and simple, without any effects, and placed it in the corner of the screen. We decided to do this because although we wanted the audience to notice the credits, we didn't want them to be too distracting, and keep them from concentrating on what was happening in the opening sequence.
My 9 year old next door neighbour will be playing the young boy in our piece. We decided to use him becuase he is the right age and height for the character. He also enjoys acting so would be willing to help us out with our piece. He is also a good choice for this character becuase he looks similar to the person weare thinking of having playing the older version of him.
After trial and error with a few different sounds and tunes, we finally decided on this. It starts with a solo piano, playing a short minor piece, connoting that something frightening is going to happen or that there is something strange going on. There is a heartbeat style drum that is kept throughout the whole piece as I feel this makes the atmosphere more tense. I have layered different piano tunes on top of each other as this created a darker effect once I had adjusted the pitches to turn it into minor and for it to match. After much thought, we decided to scrap the teddy bear's picnic idea as we felt this would go better and that the teddy bear's picnic recreation would be too difficult to recreate with the software we have.
This is our film poster for our thriller film. We looked at other current film posters like The Purge to see what to include. We included the title, a tagline, an age rating, a release date, our institution name and a social media link. Overall we are very happy with our film poster as we think it looks professional and the font and the main picture works well together.
We decided to make a film poster to help advertise our film. If the film poster looks interesting, it will entice someone to come and see the film. It is a good way to show the genre of the film to our target audience. We used the teddy bear as it is the main prop in the film, so it would be a memorable part of the film. Here, I am working on music for our production, and getting myself used to Garageband. I have decided to create an eery sounding music and have put in minor in order to give it a scary and tense atmosphere. We originally wanted to create a particular tune in Garageband, but I have realised that this is too difficult right now, and could potentially be something we have to change due to the difficulty of creating an original tune using the software. We may use another programme for creating that one section of tune, however, this could potentially ruin the atmosphere of what we have already and we could lose the quality of sound if we did so.
