Continuing our edit…

Well we had our rough cut; all we had to do was import the music. Aleicia and I began listening to some CD’s to get some inspiration and to try and find something that would set the right mood. When listening through we found one track called ‘Heavy Heart’ that sounded perfect for the opening and end scenes, but unfortunately as we haven’t got permission from the published we were unable to use it, which was really disappointing but at least it gave us an idea of what style of music we wanted.
We then began listening to royalty free music on the Internet. We came across a sample track that sounded very dark, that would suit our film. But we were unable to download it, because Weston College had blocked it.
So we had to create our own music. When we listened through the audio samples on ‘Garage Band’ and ‘Soundtrack Pro’ we couldn’t find anything that would work. So Sacha had a look through, and created some audio that worked well with our film’s theme.


Our film ‘Escape’ is musical driven, and contains very little dialogue. The quality of our dialogue was quite poor, because some of it sounded very distorted, because the boom mic was too close, an error made when filming.
Once the main bulk of the music was in place, we began working on the titles in ‘LiveType’. We chose to have our production name ‘K.A. Productions’ in pink to fit with the pink logo on the paper work.
In the assignment brief, it requires us to put the bars and tones at the beginning of the film, as well as a count down clock. So we added the bars and tones from ‘Final Cut Pro’ and created a counter clock in ‘Flash’. In my opinion adding these final touches made our film look a little more professional.
Once we were both happy with the final film, we exported it as a ‘QuickTime Movie’.
