Rough Cut

So far we are really pleased with how our film has progressed however there are many adjustments we need to make to achieve the high standard we want. The first issue we need to address is how well the film flows, we all agreed that at the moment, even though we are following the story board, the film looks rather rigid and when looking at other trailers we see the order is often messy, so rather than it being like a short story it is more fragmented and adds to the interest of it.

Another key issue is the lack of music, at the moment we are struggling to find the suitable music for our production we want a combination of rather eerie and chime like music alongside a hard-hitting and powerful soundtrack. As well as a soundtrack we want to use sound effects to make the scarier parts more alarming for the audience,  for example a loud crash will be put in to alarm the audience. We also plan on changing Evylyn’s voice using this software we aim to make her sound less high pitched and feminine we want her to challenge these conventions by sounding deep and domineering.

In terms of titles we have a long way to go we aim to use intertitles to narrate the story and help create suspense and mystery we debated with the idea of having a voiceover however we all agreed it isn't suitable for the genre and you’re more likely to see voiceovers in more action packed trailers. 

Here is our rough cut:
