Today I watched my opening sequence and realised that one of the sounds I had originally used for when the audience first meet the villan didn’t fit sounded rubbish. I went on to GarageBand and found a clip that had a ‘banging’ noise in and decided to crop the bit I didn’t want and use the ‘bang’. I replaced this sound track with the original and found that it suited the footage a lot better. I also decided to use the same ‘bang’ and the end of my sequence when the title of my film ‘Deadly Silence’ appears to add emphasis making it more effective. I then had the problem of having about 12 seconds of footage over the 2 minute maximum so I cropped a few of the clips at the start when subject 1 is walking to her friends house. I chose to cut these types of clips because they seem to go on too long and are boring. When I originally did my animatic I chose shots that I thought weren’t very long but when it’s filmed and I’m watching it back it seems a lot too long. Next time I produce an animatic I will remember this so I won’t have to cut as much footage out which will make it easier to edit. (:
