EVIDENCE- Post-Production notes

After finishing gathering our clips for the short film, we went over our footage to see how we could make our short film successful and engaging to our audience. As we are creating a Horror/Thriller short movie, we are going to follow these themes to make the short film: scary, unsettling and suspenseful. (You'll have to insert a picture of your rushes log here.) Firstly, we're going to need to gather our footage we had on the rushes log onto our software and cut it down, crop and edit the scenes so we can take a closer look at it so it will be easy o put together. After that is finished, we will have to follow the storyboard and put it together so that it's a story that the viewers can follow.

After we finish putting all of the footage on, we are going to edit our short movie. We are going to add: edits so that the scene appears darker and more unsettling for viewers to watch, loud sound effects so it draws the viewers to the screen, sound effects that you would typically hear on a Zoom call as the main characters are all on one, etc. We are also going to have eerie music to make the atmosphere feel unnerving to the viewers and keep them drawn onto the screen to make them want to find out what happens next. The music is also going to range between slow-paced and fast-paced so it can dennote how it wants the viewers to feel. If slow: the viewers feeling weary and suspenseful and if fast: the viewers on edge and make them want to watch on. 

We are also going to have quick cuts so that it keeps the viewers attention on the screen and so it does not bore them. If we had longer shots, I believe that the viewers would get bored of watching but if we kept our shots fast-paced it would get their eyes constantly on the screen anticipating what will happen next. For example, on the first death scene we want to add cuts inbetween so the death is not abrupt. This will dennote tension and suspense as the viewer is waiting for characters impending death which will ultimately happen

To make scenes seem more mysterious and threatning to the viewer, we will add effects to make scenes darker. For example where we want the scene to seem scary and unnerving we are gooing to add 'vignette' and other various effects to make the scene seem more darker and mysterious so that the atmosphere feels more threatning. This will symbloise that something bad is going to happen.
