Editing Our Opening Titles

 

 

On this clip we made the time shorter to make the fairy liquid move quicker
 on the knife so it looked better, if we didn't make this clip shorter
 it wouldn't have looked as good.

These are some pictures what were taken of us of evidence of us editing
our horror film opening.

Sound Effects

Here is evidence of our sound that we used in our horror film opening. We got the sounds off of a royalty free website.

Talking about Horror

Here is a short video that basically talks about the horror genre and how horror movies are edited and tweeked to make 10x more scary. It talks about the types of camera angles that are mostly used in horror movies to make it creepier. I watched this and got inspiration for my horror film opening to see how I could use these camera angles in my opening titles to make it as scary as I can.

Our Production Logo

We chose to do our logo like this as we thought it fit in with the name of the production company's name. We chose to name the production company 'Sadistic Studios' because it sounds good because of the alliteration, and you would be able to tell that it would be a horror film as the word sadistic is usually related to horror as its another word for 'scary' and this is what we want our film to be like.

Filming our opening titles



 This was the first time we filmed, but we got half way through and the camera battery died, but luckily we learnt from this and improved our ideas as when we was watching all the clips back most of them was bad and could've been improved.

  

 

This was the next time we filmed, we felt alot more prepared and confident with filming and our filming went really well in my opinion.

 

 

 We started off filming outside as we needed it to be getting dark when filming the first scenes because if it was pitch black the shots didnt turn our very well (as we found out when watching our first attempts of filming).

 

 

 This was when we was doing the shots of me washing up inside, I really liked this shot as it looked really effective and once we've edited all of our clips together it will look even better.

 

 

Joe and Jemma took it in turns to film my parts in the opening titles just to make sure we was all doing equal amounts of work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We had to use a stick from a mop to wind the microphone around since we didnt have nothing else to use, but this worked out fine as our sound came out perfectly clear.

 

 

 

 This is the shot we filmed of me putting the knife back into the stand, we tried to include the sound into this to make it seem more creepy.

 

 

Costumes and Props

We had to change the props we were going to use as some of the things that we tried turned out too hard to do. Joe is starring as the clown and he is wearing a very freaky clown costume. This is the one we ordered as this was the freakiest one we could find.

The clown will be carrying a balloon, which he will leave outside he woman's house. We are going to use a red balloon as red is associated with blood and danger, and this is also what the clown represents. I will be playing the part of the woman, for my costume I will be wearing white to show my innocence and to show that I'm not bringing harm to anyone in the film. We decided not to fill the balloon with blood as it would have been tricky to do as we needed to fill the balloon with helium also to make it float. Instead of using blood we came up with another idea to get Joe (the clown) to sneak up on the woman (played by me) with knife in his hand. The woman is going to be looking at the balloon confused, as she doesn't know why it is there, and then the clown comes up behind her and pops the balloon suddenly, then woman screams and turns around to see the clown standing there behind her. Were using a knife for when the woman (played by me) is washing up at the beginning, we will be doing a close up shot of the knife and are going to try reflect the light onto the knife to make it seem danerous and give a hint that something bad is goin to happen. We are also using red fairy liquid to represent blood when we are pouing it on the knife. There will be the props we will be using to create out horror film opening.
