Final Cut

I have used Finalcut before whilst doing other tasks including preliminary task, but not very much so this made me a lot more confident using it.

My Final Film- Obsessed

Live Type

We used Live Type to create the text which says '9 months later', 'Obsessed' and the credits. We put them all in red because the colour automatically creates suspense and tension which we need to show for the thriller genre. The font we used was 'cracked' and put effects over the top to add to the tension and make it more interesting for the audience to watch.

Garage Band

I hadn’t used Garageband before, and we didn’t add any non diagetic sound into our preliminary task, but it was very straight forward to get used to, and gradually we learned which sounds worked together and which sound effects would be suitable. Also from watching existing thriller films I got an idea of what type of music is used to build suspension and tension for the audience. When we first started using garage band we put together a repetitive sequence of sounds, but this got boring so we adapted it to add in more sounds and varied the order. We decided we wanted to include violins so found a base sound and a tune sound which we put together and repeated throughout the time of the filming sequence. We added the over the top sound effects we wanted as we deleted all of the recorded sound from filming.  Putting the file into Finalcut was trickier because I had to make sure the track synced with the footage, and the only way we could do this was to play both programs at the same time to make sure the timings from cutting from scene to scene worked, cutting sections once it was imported into Finalcut. Here we learned how to do a Sound Bridge as drawing the text which said ‘9 months later’ a sound effect of a phone ringing went off which lead into the zoom in on the phone ringing.

Certificate for our Film

The certificate which I would give our film would be a fifteen. I think this because as it is a psychological thriller, there is no actual violence within the film. However there is use of threatening behaviour which is also portrayed in a menacing fashion. Although this type of behaviour suggests violence and injury, there is no actual violence displayed within the film. Overall, I think that our film would fall under the classification certificate of a fifteen.
