Fonts

I started looking on font websites to get a font that would blend in to our opening scene , I was looking for something that was simple (professional) and minimal to draw suspense.

I looked at a font site called "Dafont" and here are the fonts that I thought would fit in the most with our video.

It is also important to have different texts so that it doesn't look repetitive and each change of font can symbolise change in setting/mood on screen.

Editing our final piece.

Today our teacher gave us advice and examples of different title scenes and how we could implement credits into the opening scenes effectively. For example fades (to white & black) , transitions, different font styles etc.

We have started editing our piece and will decide how to put in our titles, if we find any shots that we are missing we will re-film and add into the piece.

Here is an example of a title scene, a shot that is symbolic of the title, with a simple font in a white colour which matches the clouds.

Final piece recording...

We have been filming various parts of our final piece. We came into school over the holiday so that we could get the school at a time where it would be most empty, this way we could capture some eerie shots that will give the viewers an useay feeling. Our group has decided to have our final piece in black and white , but we still recorded in colour in case the black and white effect doesn't give the desired effect as this can be changed later in the editing suit.
We experimented with a vast array of shots that we thought encompassed the "horror" feel.
For some of these shots we needed a clean pan , so we used a skateboard to get a smooth rolling effect. We also added some effects such as silhouettes so it looks like someone was watching the main character. Another skill we used is selective focusing.
Abit more filming needs to be done , then we can edit our piece and cover up certain things such as footsteps and doorcloses with sounds to amplify the effect.
