Within the past few days, we have been editing our trailer, such as altering the speed, colour and appearance of the shots. Although there are a lot more changes that need to be made, we decided to focus on the sounds that will be in our trailer. At the beginning, we wanted it to be quiet and give an eerie effect, making it sound as though there is someone/something following the protagonist, this is also connoted with the use of a tracking shot. By accomplishing this, we recorded natural sound by using iMovie on the Mac and edited the outcome by reversing and slowing it down. As we had previously tested this, we believed that it fitted well with the horror genre as it sounds abnormal. Although there were some elements of the recording that we liked, such as the growling and breathing sound, we still didn't think that it was ideal as it picked up people talking in the background. Therefore, we re-recorded using a similar method.
We did this using a similar process as the previous recording, however ensured that no one was making any additional sound. We remained quiet and occasionally made sounds, such as banging the table or moving the mouse. We preferred the second sound test as it fitted well with scary sense that we were trying to portray; I particularly like the breathing sounds as it highlights the idea that the character is being followed. The video below shows the overall sound that may be used within our finished production piece:
The end part of the trailer will include the character to be possessed. We have tested saying something backwards, in this case, 'Evil has won', and reversing it, giving a strange voice over. We then lip synced it to the filming, that we had done. We are going to re-film this part however, as this was only a test to ensure that the idea worked.
