The soundtrack will be Birdy Nam Nam - Trans Boulogne Express which isn't copyright, and today I used YouTube convertor and also the sound effect of a gunshot, which will be featured when our main actor is killed. As you tube is a public site by using this music and the sound effects this is not copyright as it clearly states that any one of the public can use, post or blog what is fount. Also the fact that the HTML codes are clearly stated this enables anyone to use this and even pass on to friends to listen to or watch. The song builds tension, but starts quite quickly, therefore we are thinking of having Non diagetic sound throughout the chase.
Credits
A huge part of our first two minutes of our film will consist of opening credits, either behind or on top of the action already happening in every frame. I had to find out what order these came in, so studied various films before coming up with an order to suit my film:
- production company
- a film by __________
- cast
- edited
- producer, executive producer
- story by __________
- directed by _________
We want the credits to appear in some sort of timer, like the digits seen on a watch, in order to reinforce the idea of 72 Hours being timed. However, before we can finalise this we will have to look at our editing software to see if it is capable.
After looking at the software we realised that we cannot have the credits as a digital clock but instead have gone for some writing which is sort of ‘block liked’ and we have decided to go on a black background with red writing to represent blood. This was the closest type of representation that we could come up with as the software didn’t have exactly what we was looking for. To make the editing easier we created all of the titles with gaps in-between and placed them on the first layer of the software so when we put in the shots it will make it easier for us to edit.
All of the credits that show are on a still motion but then as we made the length that they appear for shorter we decided to have a few still shots but place them all together so that it appears the credit is moving in a ‘jaggered’ way. This represents knifes and killing as its not a smooth get away for the main person in the opening scene and as the film goes o the audience would understand this.
This is what the editing software looks like when you create a new tittle.
