Kirsty - AS Media

When developing my second draft to this, I encountered a couple of setbacks. Firstly, my group and I had yet to choose a font suitable to our genre. In a post previous to this, you can see test footage experimenting with fonts and animations of text available on Final Cut Pro. We settled on a 'continuous' animation, and the fonts 'Handwriting - Dakota' and 'Adobe Gothic Std'.

Our more complex problem was adding our logo and production company name. We were placing these two things on a black background, and both use elements of black themselves, if they're not entirely black. Neither had outlines, and as both are images (.jpeg), their lack of animation didn't fit with our motion picture. Initially, my idea was to find an animation of white paint splattering, as this would contrast with the black. However, after discussing the idea with my group and teacher, we decided to drop the logo from our opening sequence and decide on a different font for our production company name (within Final Cut Pro), so that we could animate the text. We found a red and white paint splatter, which may represent innocence (white), being corrupted by danger (red), thus conforming with our theme and genre. 

We filmed Luke's clip and added in his voice over, which we all think adds extra atmosphere and creepiness to our piece. I added audio effects to distort his voice - I made it sound deeper and added an echo - creating a feeling of abnormality, hopefully putting the audience on edge.

I have still yet to colour correct. After talking to Yoli, we've also agreed to add in a sound effect that sounds like a bang, in order to 'scare' character Charlie into dropping her phone.
