As part of the third wave of editing we as a a group had to add in various audio files both diegetic and non diegetic,  ranging from sound effects downloaded from the internet to foley sounds that were recorded in various parts of the school. For example we downloaded ambient tracks of low pitch droning noises to contribute to the atmosphere of our thriller and recorded foley sounds like the clanging of metal, footsteps and the sounds of clothes brushing together to fill in the gaps that were left when recording the original shoot day.

Other pieces of editing that were  done in the third wave of editing was making amendments in accordance to the pieces of feedback that we were given during draft 2. This included: Ensuring titles were on screen for the correct amount of time, Have the titles placed in their optimum position and to ensure that the name are in higher case and the other accompanying words are in lower case.

Below is the feedback that I received for draft 3, it was recorded on castify with the intention of making it easy to visualise the feedback that was being given to me, thusly making it easy for me to improve my thriller to its full potential.

In summary the amendments that have been highlighted by the feedback are:

  • Add in a droning sound at the start of the thriller to solidify the atmospheric theme of the thriller
  • Eliminate the diegetic sounds of wind
  • Add a tension stimulating sound effect for when the antagonist puts the warning sign back onto the gate.
