adding sound to batman opening sequence

I really enjoyed this task. Using garage band sound effects to adapt the opening scenes in the batman the dark night. First I looked and listened to the original film clip to get ideas and to also understand the types of elements included in this sequence. I enjoyed being able to use different effects to fit to certain parts and elements in the film e.g. explosions and gun shots. I used the iMac using garage band to form a timeline that links with the video, I found it easy to find effects and instrument sounds and to place and edit them in the timeline window. I found it challenging but fun being able to match what was happening in the opening of the film to a timeline of sounds that I had chosen and cut. I believe I was able to complete a timeline that covered allot of the film opening with sound that I believe fitted and after watching it back I found out that I had made good judgements on most sounds I had used. What I found to be the trickiest parts of the task where the timings and getting the correct sound clip at the right time so that it would correspond correctly with the film clip I feel should have imported the film clip in to the garage band timeline so it could have been perfectly lined up with the sounds I had chosen this would have allowed me to focus on just the garage band application instead of flicking between windows. Overall I believe the sounds I had chosen where good for the film i was doing and the sound of the film I wanted to get across and I believe it fit with the different elements that where taking place within the film I did try to recreate some of the sounds from the original film music from the sounds I had available as I felt these where needed to make the film and music still seem realistic even with different types of sounds. I am really pleased with what I was able to achieve on garage band on this task.             

adding sound to my video

I believe this task went well because my group had planned out what we where going to film and what type of effect we where going for. we decided to shoot our short film in the library and that we would start at one end and record until we got to the other. our idea was to make it a every spooky scene so we added a mysterious sound effect to the video. as a group we had a listen to many different sound effects from a lot of different instruments on the garage band software and we started to develop different mixes to the video. all three of our different mixes made the video feel different. I feel that we all created audio mixes that when linked with the video worked well in emphasising the mood we where trying to get across. I feel that we could have tried to develop a range of the groups ideas into one sound mix that we could have worked on to fit different stages along the video. I thought our ability to create different musical sequences to the video worked well and I was happy with end mix I thought it amplified what we where trying to get across in the video.

history of thriller

Early thriller movies appeared in the start of the 1920’s with Alfred hichcocks’s first thrillers such as the lodger in 1926 witch was wrote on the shocking jack ripper story. More films followed such as blackmail in 1929. During the period from 1925 and 1935 6 films where made relating to the thriller genre. Spy films where introduced in 1928 with films such as fritz langs spies that was about criminal spy characters and action in the film these kind of films allowed and opened the floor for the james bond movies we see now that use very similar designs to the first creations of this type of film. Fritz lang went on to create more films based on and about serial killers and criminal actions involving preying on children witch are quite rare in todays thriller movies. other british directors followed such as walter forde , victor saville and George a cooper all in the same period of time created there own version of thriller movies and they made on average 6 movies each with some making nine. While hitchcocks films seemed to follow purpose and a britsh trend because of his patch in to making suspence type film witch include films such as the man who new so much  in 1934 he was one of the first dirctors to put in a film many different types of genre and some how link them into one story. In the 1940’s Hitchcock went on to create more films even picking up an award for his 1940 film Rebecca there where films every year the 50s all following the same style of film and basing it on certain non fictional storys and also fictional and creative ideas and designs. The 1950/60’s showed the more glamious side to the films where the movies included many famous stars and it was the first time the movies where shot in technicolour witch in a sence re invented the way in whitch directors produced the films. Stars like Marilyn Monroe and henry Hathaway, ralph meeker where all involved in making thrill movies in the 50’s. it was the 70’s and 80’s that saw the up step up in the making of these movies introducing more adult content compared to the soft detective work in past movies, violence and explicit materials where used in films like frenzy in 1972 and duel in 1971. 90’s saw rob reiners misery that was based on a book introducing spy and conspiracys into the story line of thrillers. Modern day thrillers have come a long way from the early day types this has been possible because over the years directors have been willing to try new things and experiment with different layouts and storys. Thriller movies have introduced stars of today like jude law and tom cruise and even to day is a very popular genre that includes gore, violence ,brutality ,terror and shock and keeping the viewer tence. Todays thrillers use a variety of elements and vairious people to create shock and action. Directors use lots of special effects such as diffrent6 camera angles and cameras. Pryrotechnics and other explosion and fire effects and also computer generateted effects.

taken clip analisys

First shot – close up the shot is an actor face in the scene and little else the scene is suppost to show that he is worried about his daughter that he is speaking to on the phone. The scene is meant to show a tence to alert actor the fact that the actor is enganged in the conversation to work out who the enimies are to also trying to make sure that his daughter remains safe

Second – shows the emimies feet this is to show that they are close and that they would find the girl under the bed. It is ment to be terrifying

Third shot – the girl is speaking to he dad on the phone in a room in a house she is watching some emimies go past a window opposite her face shows her in shock and that they are realy close to her and she does not know what to do. The close up shot is suppost to show building fear within the girl

 There is a zoom tracking at a low level shot very near the start when the man is in the seat then he stands up and moves closer the camera looks up at the same whight as it was before and then zooms in to look just as his head this makes you wonder what is he thinking and it makes you think what he is going to say.

There is a sort of mid shot wide shot of under the bed this represents the story line and title taken the fear and shock that she thought they have gone

The next shot was very common in this sequence the actor sat listening to the girl under the bed. This shot is used a few times in the movie and I believe it shows that the actor is very focused. But the same show is meant to get the actor crying a little very near the end of the sequence this is suppost to show detail of the character and his emotions .

 The next shot is where the camera pans down to see the person get under the bed this shows to the audience where the next scenes will play in the movie. It also tells the audience where the girl is and how she got there and why she is there.

Panning of the feet this is to show fear and how tence the situation is and where they are looking and what they are doing

The medium shot at the end captures the man in a seat, crying and stearing just below the camera this makes you ask what is he going to do next, what is he thinking, whats going to happen next

 the next shot is the scariest in the movie so far it is a mid shot and captures the enimies taking the girl away
