Final Edit and Finished Thriller

On Friday I came into college at 9:00am in order to try and finish the Thriller. I was shortly joined by Louise who helped my to finish off. When we first opened up the project we played the whole Thriller through in order to see what needs to be done.
We needed to put on sound effects on important things like the girl and also the name of the road "Massie Road".

Before we did that we finished off blending in the different soundtracks and mixing the radio bit together. When we had finished blending all the music together we exported the project to soundtrack pro in order to put in sound effect. We found it hard finding sound effect that would go with all the different bits. We finally found some effects and it worked well.

We wanted the last bit of the stalker to really stand out so we slowed down the footage and also put heartbeats on it gradually increasing in volume as the stalker approached the girl.
We tried to put several effects on different part like where we see the flash of the girl, but was unable as the shot was too short. We instead had to just use a sound effect.

We looked at the footage and realised that in several times it was sunny at sometimes the floor was wet and so we decided to make the whole Thriller black and white. We we watched it again in black and white it looked more professional and stood out more. It really gave the effect that we was looking for.

At the end with stalker we used an effect that made the screen sharp this gave a more thrilling feel and made it look more effective. I was unable to attend tutorial as the deadline was fast approaching but luckily we was able to finish the Thriller at 12:25pm.

I was really happy that we was able to finish. A lot of work was put into making this Thriller and together as a group despite the absence of one member and sometimes the lack of commitment we was still able to finish and in my eyes have a successful Thriller.
