Last week we did a lot of work that would help us with editing and also putting sound onto our Thrillers.

In Rebecca's lesson on Monday, we used Sound Track Pro which is used for making music and also an audio editing application. This is what we are going to use in order to do our Thrillers because we are no longer allowed to use music already done, and so we have to make our own.

Firstly we had a computer tutorial in order to help us with editing sound and also putting on sound. It was really helpful because we had professional production mixers talking about the effects of certain sounds and also the importance of checking background noises. There are many sound effects that can be used to draw the audiences attention. I also understood that using things like heartbeats and footsteps at the right time can have a very good effect on your audience.

We were then given many still images from Casino Royale and had a table in the top left hand corner with things like dialogue, music and effects. We had to drag the various sounds into the place on the picture where we thought it best fitted and also decided if it was background noise or not. This allowed me to understand how sounds fit in together and create different effects.

We was then given a clip from Casino Royale and had to put the sound in and also the effects. This was extremely interesting and didn't want to stop. I found this quite easy to do however it also needed to be done carefully. Unfortunately we had do stop that and put sound on to our practice Thriller that we made. I was annoyed that we had to stop and found that boring. Although it was annoying it was useful because it is what we would have to do for the main Thriller.

In Annabel's lesson on Thursday most of the group was not present. Rhea and I decided that we would do the credits for our Thriller. Mickey gave me a tutorial on Live Type and showed me how to use it. Me and Rhea then went onto it and had a go. We made really good credit and i actually enjoyed doing it.
I wasn't able to finish it off in the lesson so i stayed for workshop and managed to finish it off.
