Editing - 3

We originally had the idea of playing Tiny Tim - Tip Toe Through The Tulips over the final scene but that was prohibited as it wasnt copyright free music, this hinded our progress as we now need to find some appropriate copyright free backing track that feeds an eerie vibe to the viewer.

While searching for the copyright free track we found an eerie melody that doesnt really go well with the final scene but we have used it on our company ident and as a backing track to the flashback.
This works well as it fades away so its only just audible while the flashback voices are being heard.

Editing - 2

The news reports that we have recorded arent that appropriate to the storyline of the film, so if there is a chance to film more footage when the rest of the editing is complete we will refilm the news.

The news report currently in use has been cut so that when the Man travels round the house the sound will transition so that it is less audible making it sound like it is still playing from the living room where the Man began his journey. Also when the Man enters the bedroom the news instantly stops when the man shuts the door adding tension to the sequence.

Editing

Using Adobe Premiere Pro I have inserted the video clips into one sequence to start peicing together the film. Then I posted them in order with the company ident at the head of the sequence and began to properly edit, we decided to change the opacity on some of the footage so that it fades out and into shot to add a more tension building image.

At the end of our day of filming we thought about the possibility of having news playing over the top while the Man walks through the house, this provides the viewer with something to listen to while watching as without sound the footage would be quite dull, so we filmed a couple minutes of news programmes so that we could pick out any appropriate news reports.

Filming

We started filming on the 23rd of January and got multiple versions of the footage we wanted. The filming started at 7 pm and finished at around 9pm with all the neccessary clips that were required.
In the returning lesson we assessed the footage and deleted any extras or clips with mishaps.
The actors used were:
Jordans brother as the Boy in flashback
Jordans mother as the Mum in flashback
Jordans dad as the Man
Jordans Nan as the Old lady

They were all quite intregied with the filming and performed well to create interesting footage to edit.

Film Name Ideas

It took us a very long time to think of possible film names as it has to be appealing to the target audience. It is also important to use a title that is related to the genre of our film, and what happens in the film.

Mothers Boy
My Mother and I
Family Re-union
Take Care
Homewrecker
The Asylum

We decided to use the film title 'My Mother and I' as it was very original and had not been used before. It related to our use of characters, the Mother and her Son, and also to our genre slightly with a sort of chilling nature.
