Over the last few weeks I've been working hard on the evaluation section for my A2 media course. I planned all of my evaluation pieces and today I put the finishing touches on the final video, which means that now my evaluation is ready to hand in!
For my A2 production I made a short, 30 second radio trailer as an ancillary task.
It uses some sounds used in the actual short film, as well as a voice over giving details of how to watch the short film and find out more information.
After many days of intense editing, late nights and many hours working, I present to you Blackout, a environmental disaster short film created by Daniel Haynes. I am very pleased with how it has turned out, and I hope you enjoy it too!
I have edited 'Blackout' on Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, and I wanted to share a screenshot of the finished product, which I believe is a very interesting short film about a nationwide, endless, power crisis!
I will post the actual short film in a few days, hope you enjoy!
When I came to edit my film, I knew I wanted to use some moving music which would invoke a strong sense of worry and suspense into the audience.
I went through a number of music tracks, not to find a whole song which would fit, but to find portions of a number of songs which would suit one section of my short film.
I ended up choosing two songs which I found summed up the two distinct sections of my short film, the idyllic morning, and then the frantic and worrying evening.
The first audio clip I am using is from a song called Beyond the Stars. This is for the beginning of the film, which shows an ideal day. I also felt this song has a slight undertone of suspense which I felt fit my needs for the song.
The suspenseful song I used was called Rallying the Defense by Machinima Sound. I feel it fit the tone of the short film well.
For my short film I have created storyboards for the shots which I wish to include. This is a main part of the planning process and is something I have spent a lot of time on.
