This is the word document that shows the different screen grabs of the different effects that I have used in the process. But this s not all of the effects that I used there are many more others. such as cropping part of the scene to get rid of a continuity error, changing the lighting of scene because its too light or too dark.

1. This is the first scene of the movie and this
picture is showing the first effect I added to my
work. I added an effect to make it seem like
when she was closing her eyes and at the same
time the next scene would get introduced. This
is known as ‘dissolving’ into the next scene. I had
to extend the time which it was originally on
because the effect lasted for a short period of
time that you could hardly see where and what
the effect was. I got this idea from one of the
pieces of research which I done which is Anna.
The movie is about a man who has the ability to
enter people’s memories and determine if a
young girl is a sociopath or a victim of trauma.
Before we started the short movie we were told
that we had a maximum of two minutes. When I put
my scenes together the time well over exceeded
and this meant that I would have to either cut out
some scenes or speed up some scenes. Originally
the walking scene took 20 seconds but when I cut it
down it came down to 10 seconds. This made a
huge difference to my movie because not only did it
make it shorter but I feel like it made the
anticipation for the audience stronger. However
there were scenes that I had to shorten down
because it would have made a bigger impact. For
example I slowed the scene when she comes out of
the kitchen holding the knife. This made the
atmosphere of the scene much deeper and it also
emphasized the difficult task she was about to do.
Another reason why I had to change the speed of
some scenes was so that it matches the music. The
example that describes this well is when I had to
slow down the scenes when she is going up the
stairs to match the big chorus of the song.

2. Another effect that I used was masking the sound of
one scene and putting another one. This was
because in some scenes there was a lot of
background sound such as someone on the phone
and the neighbours speaking. The top scenes are all
muted because there was a lot of noise. The bottom
scene is the sound that I actually wanted but putting
it at the bottom means that it doesn’t come with a
picture. There were also times when I had to have
two of the same scenes over each other. The
difference is that I didn’t mute the top one I just put
it on maximum volume and the bottom one was
also put on a high volume. I then had to make sure
that the sounds match in terms of the time that it
comes in. this was because I wanted to
overemphasize the sound or the scene was to quiet.
Examples of when I used this method is when she
opened the door (the sound of her opening the door
is very clear because I used that method), when she
closed her laptop (this emphasized the frustration
that she must have felt when the answer didn’t
come up), when she puts down the cup and the
plate and there are many more other examples of
when I used this method.
I also had to put titles in appropriate places. The titles
had the actors or actresses real name. It could only be
put in specific places before the end of the movie
because I had put them after the movie had finished it
would have took more time. I also had to make sure
that the title was on for a suitable amount of time and
that the font and colours were good. At the end I
decided to put the name of the movie and I chose an
effect that makes it look like its dissolving. I think that
this is a good effect and it relates to my movie.
I also made the soundtrack last for 2 seconds more
from when the movie finished. I also made it slowly
get quieter and this would have an impact on the
audience because it leaves them with a sense of
curiosity since they want to know what happened next
and a time of reflection.
