The image above is the beginning of our film opening, showing our two film companies idents. The green bar is the music underscore that we used (downloaded from Premium Beats). We had to cut and extend, throughout our film opening, the same music to make it last longer than the original downloaded time (which was 1 minute 30 seconds). Alongside this we made the music become more quiet when there was dialogue. For the dialogue we edited it to sound louder and we did this by recording on a iPhone recording app. We did this for the various dialogue by the actors/ characters.
This image shows the CCTV camera frame effect and where the sound effect of the the CCTV effect/ film shot is zooming in on a new character. The small top 4 green bars are the sound effects of the CCTV camera and we made the music slightly more quiet. This was so the audience could understand what they were seeing and focusing on.
Excellent work, Casey. You have created a convincing film opening with a realistic, topical subject that is handled creatively, using appropriate locations, a wide variety of shot types that delivers the narrative effectively and some excellent sound work. A large crew to handle, as well in this filming which is much more complex than it first appears. A combination of clever camerawork and compelling sound builds to an intriguing climax which makes it an excellent film opening.
