Final Breif

    Welcome back to the blog, I am excited to say that we have completed our film introduction brief, below is the final product.



Film Name: Stuffed
Made by: Musa Umarally, Gino Romero, and Rayan Bhatti

Production: Final Touches

     Welcome back to the blog, today we finished up our film introduction. This means wrapping it up and fixing any small errors, this includes brighting a few scenes to make them easier to see. We also moved around some of the credits to prevent them from blocking any action within the scene. Finally, we made the title font into a bolder brighter one to make it pop more. Now that we finished the film introduction all we need to do is export it and we will be able to post it. After that we will work on our CCR questions and wrap up this section of the course.

Production: Music

     Welcome back to the blog, after searching for some background music for our film introduction we have finally found one. We used a website called PixaBay to download the music for free. The music is very suspenseful and follows the visuals of the film very well, it adds a nice touch that ties all the clips together nicely. Now that we have the music added all we got to do is any finishing touches such as adjusting any color or audio discrepancies. After we do this we will be done with our final brief.

Production: Opening Credits

     Welcome back to the blog, today I finished adding the remainder of the opening credits. This includes our names as well as some made up names and production companies to make our film introduction feel more real. The credits were done in a red script-like font so they would be easily distinguishable from their background while fitting a horror theme. The credits also fade in and out to make them better integrated with the overall film. Now that we have completed the credits all that we must do is add the music and then we will be finished with our brief. We intend to finish the music today and make any final touches so that we will be done by tomorrow.

Production: Credits Marking

     Welcome back to the blog, today I began marking the film introduction for where we are going to place to credits. This includes many of the large empty parts of the scene where text can easily be seen without interfering with the visuals. The credits will help to set the tone of the film while signifying its place as a introduction. We intend to use our names and come of with some made up ones to fill out the scene. We intend to fill in the names and add the music on monday and then we will be done with our film introduction.

Production: Sound Effects

     Welcome back to the blog, today I began adding the sound effects of our film introduction. This includes footsteps at the end of the film when Gino walks towards the box and picks it up, due to his shoes there was no footsteps so I downloaded a free footstep sound off of Pixabay. The I added it to the film introduction and synced it up with the footage. I also added the screaming sound for when the bear attacks, I downloaded it from the same site and edited it to fade out. The last sound effect I added was a creepy child singing a song which adds to the overall mood of the scene. It is different than what we originally intended to do with a child laughing throughout the scenes with the bear, however because I couldn't find a sound that worked so the singing was used instead. Now that the sound effects are done all that needs to be completed is the music and the credits, me and my group intend to do these on Monday.
