Soundtrack

The soundtrack in my interactive video has a very intimidating and creepy music to it to relate with the psychological thriller side of the genre. This music goes all the way through interactive video.  I think it gave a good representation of genre because it made the atmosphere more scary and creepy compare to having music or fast music. If the music had a fast paced it would feel more of an exciting video where as we wanted it to be more of a scary video. The sound track is mixed into the video with the everyday noise around the areas we filmed in I think that this gave it a better philological feel because it is almost like a normal day suggesting that this could happen to anyone watching.



Dialogue 

My interactive video does not have much dialogue in throughout however there is a text scene at the beginning between the stalker and victim. The dialogue in this seeing the trays the Chandra so I can because the stalker has her phone number and is talking to her where I’m getting into her head, which is scaring her and making her feel like she is being watched.  This brings the dormer together because of some of the things that were being said such as “soon you will be mine”  this is what makes her stand up and try to run away from the stalker who is watching her.  This relates to a psychological thriller more than any other fella because what is happening is verbal not physical so therefore is more invasive to the victim because this random person has found her number and started to follow her. There is a voice over for the texts message I think that this makes the film more philological because it is more personal and direct so it makes the fear more intense.



SFX

 In my interactive video we did not necessarily have a load of sound affects because the noises we needed such as oncoming traffic and natural surrounding noises were captured quite well in the video itself so we used that instead of putting in sound effects I feel this gave it more of a psychological feeling Because it’s an everyday thing, by having the birds in the background and the traffic going past it makes the situation feel more real because it feels like the real world which will get inside your head therefore making it psychological. I also think that if you are watching this interactive film and the sound effects are what you would tend to here in everyday life you are more likely feel more involved with the film and it will draw you in to make you think that you are apart of the video itself. At the beginning of the video there is a text message scene where the conversation is had through the victim’s phone and I have added the “ping” of the message coming through because if it wasn’t there is wouldn’t sound right.

Camera Techniques.

Camera Techniques. Tilted Panning  This is when you use a tripod to scale up or down a subject during the attention to different pats of the subject as you do it. For example, if i had a person i was introducing to a program and i wanted to build tension i would use a upward pan so that at you see more of the body you can try figure out who it is. You can create an upwards tilted pan, by starting the tripod tilted to the ground you can start filing the feet and slowly go up the body and viser verser. I would use a downward pan if i was scaling a build to meet a subject at the bottom of it.  This would be useful in my production if I were to create a more dominating factor to a character for example if Danny was standing in a normal frame shot he would seem less dominating, whereas ifThis camera shot was used it would be like a slow  reveal to find out Who is under his mask. Panning  This technique can also be done on a tripod you can use this technique to follow a moving object

sound effects

On Monday we got into our groups that we were in before to create the sound effects so that we could edit them in to the video. Unfortunately our in sound affects didn’t save so we could not use them, but instead another group let us used their sound and we use video converter to get siundv effects off the Internet. We started off by turning the sound off the original video so that you can hear the sound effects we created. Once that was done we found the appropriate sound effects for the moment in the scene, because we had to use sound effects off the Internet we had to use video converter and the site that we used was quite slow so we only got the sound effect of the knife stabbing. Foley is when you make a sound effect from every day item that will be added in to a movie or video in post probuction for a better sound quality.  To get the sound effects we did a workshop with different items such as to make a stabbing noise we used a knife to chop up a cabbage, we also used a bucke

 The first thing we had to do was to come up with ideas for our adverts.  As a group we were able to come up with three different ideas that we thought would work well, these ideas were to have a family playing on the kindle I’m going through all the features with some dramatic music. The second idea was to do a generic phone advert with cinematic shots of the  kinda.  The final idea in the one we chose was to make it look as if the kindle was being experimented on find out what it could do  i’m find out all the different features it has. We also added the cinematic shots from the second idea at the end with some information about the product.  So the first thing we had to do was to come up with  advert ideas the.  Were able to do this quite well in a group as we have different suggestions and we were able to narrow it down to 3 main ideas. These ideas were to have a family sitting in the living room on the kindle playing and trying to find something that they could do together with
