Rough Edit

Here is the rough edit of our opening sequence, since making this our group have decided to get rid of parts of the sequence, such as the close up of the dolls face as we feel is doesn't fit and the colour and contrast looks too superficial comparing it to the rest of the film. Also we have taken away one shot as our character walks into the building, as the side angle doesn't flow with the rest of the clips during that scene. Also, from watching this we have decided to re film the ballerina to just have it spinning in a single shot without the candle next to it, as we feel it will look better.

Making a rough edit has been useful as it shows that we need to re film the book pages as they are diffcult to see in the light and it shows that our story does make sense and can be followed which will help appeal to our target audience.

From this we now need to finalise the individual clips and their placement to ensure that our opening sequence flows effectively and we need to begin to add sound to our piece to make it look real and professional.

Before adding sound we have created a sound list, these are sounds we can download off of the internet and need to create for ourselves:

• voice over
• footsteps-gravel, concrete, stairs
• doors opening and closing
• jewellery box music
• young girl laughing
• wind, birds, outside noises
• lighting a match
• book pages turning
• chair moving out
• whispering
• heart beat
• clock ticking
• soundtrack

These are the main sound effects that we will need to create the horror genre and a spooky atmosphere, as we begin to create the sound edit we may need to add additional sounds to heighten the effect.
