Sound: Music

-I heard a humming sound in the background of a 2Chainz vlog which I downloaded and looped to create the ambient sound throughout my video which is unnerving to match the genre.

-I found the music towards the end on a royalty free music site and which I had got music from before. It had a beat which added to the effect of the escape.

Sound: SFX

I didn't use any sound from the actual shoot.

Glitch Pack

I downloaded a pack of glitchy sounds which sound like a loss of signal for tv and radio which perfectly fit the RGB split and I feel added to the enigmatic feel, matching the thriller genre.

Post Recording

I used a Zoom audio recorder to capture:
-scratches
-glasses clinking
-heavy breathing
-footsteps (running and walking)
-fork scratching a surface and being placed
-Nail tapping on table

Breath Sound

I'm a fan of a cartoonist called Don Hertzfeldt who used this heavy inhale sound at the start of the film, 'It's such a beautiful day' which I think takes your breath away just from hearing it so I thought it would be relevant to start my film with this. It doesn't involve an exhale which leaves the audience on edge.

Stabbing Sound

Downloaded from a site featuring lots of sword sound effects.

Bass Boom

I used the bass boom effect quite a lot as it just adds drama to everything. I use this as a signature sound in most of my videos.

Font

After research, I found Steel Tongs was a font often used in film covers so I thought it would be relevant in creating a professional look.

Final Ident

Steps to my ident:

1. Drawing a mask for my logo. Creating a solid and applying Element 3D to extrude it and bevel it.
2. Create suitable text and apply to Element 3D
3. Make them 3D and create a 3D camera
4. Find a texture on the internet, inverted, screen composite mode, tint purple, fill the 3D world
5. Find keyed smoke or fog and drop into comp
6. Make screen composite mode and horizontally flip one
7. Keyframe the camera position and bring it towards the camera and use aperture to create a virtual depth of field.
8. Keyframe the a rotation of the logo.

Editing: Lens Flare

In this shot, I tracked a lens flare to the wing mirror of the car in After Effects to add extra light to represent freedom in their escape.

First Draft: Audience Feedback

At this point I haven't added sounds including heavy breathing which should be the key to my piece. The feedback I got was regarding sound saying that I need:

-more sounds and layering
-maybe an ambient sound layer of an environment
-some music towards the end
