- 2. We started with the planning and idea generation in the initials plans PowerPoint. This helps you to put your ideas down on paper and see if you think they would work. You need at least two ideas but three or more is best. I had to make a trailer using parts of other films to show off my product and to give a little look at what it maybe like, I edited this and my short film on Premier. After all the PowerPoints and word documents I started to film my short film using my own camera and SD card. When editing to add in the wings effect I had to use Adobe after effects which was new and challenging for me as I didn’t understand it well as it was new and advanced, but with some help we got it so it worked. We used a “mask” to cover the wings so it looked as if they were really from my back, we used “puppet pins” to just move the wings to make it look more realistic.
- 4. For my audio we had to use Diegetic and none Diegetic sounds to create the effects and ambiance for my genre and style of the film I was going for. Since it was a silent film we had to make sure we had sounds to show what was going on. The Diegetic sounds used were the sounds of the paper balls being thrown and the birds in the trees and the door slamming open as the bullies ran away. The Non-Diegetic sounds were my sound tracks, “top most sad songs ever” and “victory music” which I used and cut to fit in the parts needed. I had the sad track running almost all the way through apart from the last few shots where my character turns and stands up to the bullies and my wings appear which scare them away, this music is the “victory music”. I made sure the audio transition “cross fade” was used to move from one track to the other, to change the mood of the piece. The change was subtle and hopes to take the audience by surprise as many would think it would end badly but instead she stands up to them which isn’t as expected.
- 6. My film uses Title screens and adjustment layers and also has a video fade in and out. The title screens were used to show the title of the piece and add the effect to make it as much of a “realistic” film. Adjustment layer was used to make the lighting colder in the bullying scenes and brighter and warmer in the bird scene. The video fade in and out was to show it was in the victims head, that she was imagining it not actually there, I believe this is clear to the audience and my feedback says also. I had to use a clip from YouTube as being in winter not many birds would be flying an don the days I was filming, it snowed making it too cold for most birds and at that time of year most birds are not around or have migrated which means I needed to get a clip to add to my effect of the birds and wonderful things the victim had seen which gave her confidence.
