Before we added the sountrack we got a chance to watch all the other groups work. We were asked to comment as we went round each group.

Here are the comments other people had about our video:

1) Nice first person shots.
2) Good shots, good titles (writing), just a bit short.
3) If he was hung his hands would dangle, but very good. You can tell it's a thriller, so thats good.
4) Good use of shots, especially at the start. Good effects and use of props.
5) Sound effects and camera angles are good. We got the storyline/plot. Establishing shot maybe to long.

We were pleased with the comments, as we felt a lot of them were positive. We tried to change elements of what the negative comments were about. It helped us to have other peoples opinions so we could have a fair judgement of what an audience would think.

Sound track

We had one single lesson and a double lesson to make our thriller soundtrack, which meant we had four and a half hours to have it completed.

In our first lesson, we played around with Garage Band, trying to find a "boomph" noise for when the title "Chosen" appears. We found one sound we liked and loaded it up to the video. We learnt that Garage Band was difficult to use, as you have to upload to iTunes before adding it to the video on Final Cut Pro.

In our double lesson, we started to use Sound Track Pro which works well along side Final Cut Pro. We mixed a few different ideas and found that Orchesteral music worked best to build tension. We added in bangs to when each title sequence appeared which also made our thriller more eery.

In the end we were all really pleased with the sounds we had chosen. We then worked on the order and the overlapping of each music clip so the sound track flowed and gave the right feeling. The music gets faster as the tension builds through our opening sequence.

We added our sound track on to our video and everything was completed.
