Production Update

Today Lydia and I edited our opening sequence by changing some of the sound effects and cutting parts of the filming out. This was to make sure the sequence flowed better and was more engaging for the audience. We also found that someone had changed our opening sequence production company. Therefore we had to cut this out and put back our original production companies which are: Universal and Twisted Pictures. 

First Cut Feedback

 This is the feedback we were given by our teacher, as to what we can improve in our video, and what was achieved. We will use this feedback to make sure we can secure the best grades possible.

First Cut

Our First Cut

Soundtrack for our production

Soundtrack
For our opening sequence we used a track that has been taken from the TV show American Horror Story. Our opening sequence is of the horror genre so this track would compliment it entirely as American Horror Story is also a horror series. The track is quite eerie and mysterious which is what we want our opening sequence to be presented as being, which is why we feel the track is most suited to this type of opening sequence also this soundtrack with the footage that we shot creates a sense of mystery, which is something that we planned on doing.
