Finishing Touches

     Throughout the last few days we have been putting the final touches on our video project. Currently, we only need to add a few sounds and finish up the CCR and we will be home free! 

    Some clips that we have included in our film throughout the last few days include a concluding scene of the intro and some scenes of text messages that appear throughout the intro. The first scene we worked on was a scene after the murder that was basically the final shot of out intro. We had to make some fake blood however, which took several attempts to get something finally right, and eventually was able to set up the final shot.

 (This is the second (successful)  batch of fake blood that we ended up using for the film.)

(This is the setup we used for the film, along with some additional lighting effects. We had to make sure we didn't make a mess, but also wanted to make it  look good.)

   The other parts that we included were just simple close ups of text messages that make appearances throughout the introduction of our film that link the killer to the victim. We felt that this was a way to connect the two characters and a way to create suspense throughout the intro. 

     Another addition to our film was the use of audio narration from the character. We felt this would allow us to get across some vital information to understanding parts of the movie intro and kind of set the tone for the remainder of the movie and our social commentary. This allows use to also show the character of the killer, which is somewhat different than many other horror films that hide the identity of the killer. We were able to get a classmate to speak some lines into a microphone, which turned out to be a good choice because it somewhat sounds like it is in her head, rather than her speaking out loud, which is the overall goal we were looking for. 

    Overall, the additions we made brings us closer to completion of the project and helps us portray our overall horror genre, and it gave us some time to have fun playing with fake blood!
