Visions (Rough cut)





This is the rough cut of our fourth thriller piece. The unfinished copy of our film.

Finding music


Finding music


Finding music for our thriller was essentially hard but we managed to find non copyrighted music channel from youtube which meant we were able to use in our film. It was quite difficult to find  the right music for the right scenes of the film as our film was slow passed and varied from scene to scene. once we found the appropriate music for the scene(s), we saved it to our desktop and put it into the film and rendered it. Most of the music we added into the film was suspense music to build suspense and create shock for our audience. The rest were some sounds that you would likely hear on thriller films and/or trailer. Our main music and sound effects for our thriller were from Free SFX and youtube.




We ended up using the "danger Zone" sound effect from Free SFX.
We also used non-copyrighted sounds from youtube such as David Lynch "the air is on fire"





Speed of editing


Speed of editing


In every film, scenes last for a certain amount of time alot of scenes last for seconds and others a few minutes. This is the speed of editing, it is to do with the time taken to film a scene. The speed of editing can also be used to create mood in which audiences are supposed to feel as well as the characters of the film. The director can choose wether he wants his audience to feel suspense by cutting quickly and record faster. He can also slow down the editing when the director wishes the audience should focus or pay attention to something especially important scenes.

There has once been a film made and produced in Russia called "The Russian Arc" that had no cuts and not much editing done to the film.
However there have been a lot of films with a lot of different camera angles, scenes and cuts. They are mainly in action films for example one of the Bourne films.

Example of  a fast paced film with many cuts.

Visions



This is our fourth and final thriller piece. Visions (zoned out productions)

Continuity editing


Continuity editing


Continuity editing is a unique style of film editing and/video editing. The purpose of this process is to get rid of jump cuts of a film and allow the film to flow without the audience being confused as to what has just happened. The word "continue" means to keep things going, instead of finishing it goes on more further. "editing" is to do with altering something shortening or making a film better.

There are many different types of continuity editing techniques, these include; match on action, shot/reverse shot, 180 degree angles etc


Match on action:
This is when two or more different scenes are put together when the cameras are in different places. The film still flows fluently as if they hadn't

The main character (Lance Filmore gets up out of bed, goes down stairs and has breakfast)


The main character gets dressed and goes out side for a walk in the park.

Lance walks to the park bench and sits down. Whilst sitting down he sees a jogger who jogs in front of the bench, stops and catches his breath, then carries on jogging.

After the jogger leaves, the Lance has a bad headache and holds his head and sees his first vision.


In his vision, Lance is being chased by a mysterious man and cannot make out his face.


The vision ends and Lance is holding his head. He then takes a visit his local psychiatrist.


He approaches the clinic and stares at the sign. He gets escorted by the assistant and gets asked to have a seat.

The psychiatrist and the main character have a conversation about the recent visions Lance has had. The psychiatrist finds this interesting; he adjusts his glasses and leaves his seat to search for more paper.


Lance notices that the doctor had touched his glasses, which triggered his second vision.

In this scene the main character sees someone talking to him and asking for some sort of device, in a sort of interrogation.

He makes out the face of the people in the room, one of them looked similar to his psychiatrist and the other similar to the jogger he saw earlier that day in the park.


He awakes from his vision with another headache and realises his doctor had left the room.


In the last scene he awakes from his sleep in his home, in his bed. He realised it was all a dream. He heard a noise from outside his room, suddenly his door opened slowly and a man in black came in.
