Editing

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!

Music

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.

Storyboards

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.

Locations

Over the past few days I have realised a number of elements of my production work that I have not uploaded to this blog.

They are:

Location Shots

Storyboards

Music Ideas

 

This week I hope to upload all different elements of these onto my blog.

 

Today I am uploading some location shots, where I have filmed for my short film.

 

Firstly is a house, this house is the setting for the majority of the 'morning' shots in my film.

 

The second location shot I have is of a road. This road is used for some establishing shots in my short film, mainly in the morning/evening sections.

 

The third location shot is of a road which I filmed at night time to simulate time passing very quickly. I filmed the shot over a period of about 10 minutes, which I will then speed up.
