Editing must commence!

Editing has began! It has become apparent this is going to take a hell of a lot longer than we ever anticipated. What i've attempted to do today, is change the exposure, saturation and brightness on the 'empty' shots to give the impression that Keeley has 'disappeared,' we found that when leaving the 'empty' shots at the same colouring it did not achieve a professional look, and more like something edited on a smart-phone rather than iMovie. using the contrasted colours on a quick pace lead to a more super 8/black and white style of film, adding to the suspense that a horror movie should hold.

Major inspiration- Woman in black,

The opening scene for 'For the woman in black' stands as our main platform for inspiration. The three little girls in dresses playing with their dolls; we even fell in love with the song (tea for three plus one by Marco Beltrami)
It's so creepy! and the shrieking of the mother at the end just makes my insides curdle- absolutely brilliant.

Annabelle. [Retch]

One major recent film inspiration for our group is the movie Annabelle, it's plot; based on a possessed doll poses many features we would want to convey in our opening. Something i picked up on whilst watching was the excessive amounts of close up shots of the doll, this produced an uncertain and uncomfortable sensation for the audience as there was anticipation whether the doll would 'blink' or as such, because of this we've tried to include as many close up shots of our doll in order to cause a similar effect.

Vlog

So in this Vlog I speak about the difficulties we went through and the changes we made in consequence of these obstacles.

Filming process

In this Vlog I speak about the filming process; what i thought went well and what I would do differently.

Filming adventure

As promised here is the evidence of our filming! I found some cool features on iMovie such as stabilising video shakiness as well as some already recorded sound effects that ranges from a rocket taking off to a duck quaking. We have been looking for months for the perfect soundtrack and I believe to have found a contender! (Drone darkness suspense 2) I have added the audio in the background to get a feel of the menacing atmosphere we want.

Location snap

Just a quick snap of our location. We were amazed to find such a flawless spot. After walking for 20 minutes through Hilly's we came across an empty field with one of the most sinister yet beautiful looking oak tree; it also had the perfect branch to attach our swing too! The field was surrounded by forest and right before us was the perfect arch we needed to essentially be the 'door of doom'
