EDITING 7

Editing 7: Finishing touches...

When it came to adding in the finishing touches of our final product we knew that we would have to perfect it as much as we could. We had gotten some feedback from our peers and they advised us on what we could alter in order to make it look professional and fitted to the genre. 


I spent a lot of time on the sound, listening closely for when to use the blade tool and crop the audio and end the background music, ect. This was extremely time consuming and I can say that I found this bit particularly challenging as it was so difficult to get wrong as well as very noticeable when watching it back, so it had to be fixed...

As a group we decided that the use of the song we were initially using was too commonly known and associated with Horror genre and deleted it completely. We kept the Candy Man theme song as well as the Blumhouse production theme tune, but added in a heartbeat sound to reflect and build up the anxiety from the main character and reflect her own heart beat. 

I had an idea to change the fonts of the credits to a type writer font to reflect the use of type writers in hospitals in the 60's and also added in a rather quiet typewriter sound which I layered over the credits to make it sound as if the credits were being typed as they appeared. 
I felt that this was a clever touch to the opening sequence as it was subtle but also had a very 60's vibe to it. 

We finally felt happy with our final product.
