Evaluation Question 7- Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

What I believe I have learnt since first doing my preliminary task is the meagerly the technical side of making the type of media our project was based on. For example I have learnt to use the software that was key to the making and editing of our thriller opening. The software that I have come to learn how to use are garage band in which I made the sounds to match my thriller, final cut pro, were I made my actual opening and were I did all the editing and adding all the final touches to my thriller and also after effect in which i made my production logo. All of these type of software were at first a bit tricky to understand and use but once you have used it a few times it becomes more natural and is much more easier to operate.

Garage Band

myself and my partner decided to make our own music/soundtrack to our thriller opening. however Aishah my partner could not attend the practice so I went along and created it incorporating ideas that Aishah and i had discussed previously. we were inspired by the music in the film seven and also the film nightmare on elm street. fusing these together i came up with the idea of playing to piano tunes together and then synthesizing one of them to create a hollow melody to go along with the first piano, overall it gives a chilling effect.

I also made another track but this time i did not use music but substituted sound effects instead to go along with the opening it is yet to be decided which shall be used.

Behind the scenes of filming (it is mostly audio we didn't know it was on)

We were getting ready for a section of the opening which required having coal all over mine and our actress Alena's face. (Aishah enjoyed the task of plastering it on our faces). Also we sound exited because we found a really good shot and that's why Aishah flips the camera up and down.
