What post production decisions did you make?
There wasn't much editing involved in the post-production stages of our childrens film as it was a stop-motion animation and most of the film was created though what we made for the animation. We added a voiceover to introduce the film as this seemed to be a conventional thing to do in children's films:
'Deep in the enchanted forest of the night is a magical land of mushrooms for houses and where trees unite. Where creatures create magic an where fairies take flight. Come and meet Cinnamon.'
We also added credits at the end, these seem rather rushed and haven't really been thought through.
With the Thriller opening we used a number of post production editing techniques. We added a production logo to add professionalism (storm productions) which we made flash, putting the sounds of thunder and lightening over the top. Throughout the whole video, we put the subtle sounds of bird song over the top of the sound track. Throughout the video, the credits stay in the same corner (bottom-right) so they wouldn't distract from the content of the film. As the characters are introduced, we decided to stop the non-diegetic soundtrack as the characters are introduced to provide a contrast between the previous rather more spooky scene. This contrast can also be seen in the colouring and contrast of the video; we heightened the contrast and darkened the colouring of the creepy woods scene so the more light hearted scene would look sunny and juxtapose well with the diegetic sound of Bob Marleys 'three little birds'. To fit with the title of the film (silhouette) , we heightened the contrast more so as the antagonist stands on the hill looming down on the protagonist, all that can be seen is a dark figure. Other sound effects used, were the creepy sounds of woodland creatures (howling, chirping etc) to unnerve the audience. We also added dripping noises as the protagonist enters the cave in which the well is located.
The music video took the most work in post-production. The video begins with the sounds of farm yard animals as the camera zooms into the book, this sets the scene for the theme and location of the video. To clarify the 'Animal Farm' inspiration for the video..
