More music editing

I placed my favourite versions of noir jazz and classical horror songs into audition. 

I used music from mcleod and 'the hunt'. 

I first inserted the jazz music which is in the first column, and had one continuous song playing, in the next column I inserted parts of 'the hunt' which i cropped, I also decreased the volume each time before I cropped the tracks to help make it sound smooth. I did the same for the other columns.

Overall the sound produced sounded mystifying, chilling and yet relaxing.
 

More editing /film

Using photoshop, I used some older pictures I took which I then edited them one by one making them significantly darker over time, I did this because I noticed some of the pictures I took were better than the footage of the sky I captured in videos,  it was because the weather progressively became more unpredictable meaning less consistent sunny skies  and I ended up filming a lot of gloomy looking clouds. Overall, I liked the edits and I intended to blend them into the final film.

 

 

More editing for film

 

I combined some of the videos from my previous recordings as well as the animation into the initial film. Overall, after making this I realised I inserted way too many videos that did not flow together. The animation was too long and some of the cuts were either too shaky or abrupt. I did like some of the special features I added including the morph cut into the animation and the scenes when I am going up the stairs, I liked how mysterious they were. 

 More filming

I went along to a local water fountain/pond where I took videos of the local wildlife, I was able to briefly capture a bird at a near close range but to keep up with its movement I had to move the camera a lot which was difficult. I also took various recordings of the water pond and the plants alongside that area. 

I started playing around with camera shots and produced some wide and close up shots.

this is a screenshot showing all the videos I took that day, and below are two of the videos.

Looking and experimenting with music

I was listening to jazz one day and stumbled upon this genre called 'noir jazz/ambient' which to me had a very deeply mysterious tone, I then thought about mixing it with some classical horror music to create subtle chilling effects.

I watched various YouTube videos, the ones I watched the most I have inserted below, my favourites were the film noir with music by Kevin Mcleod and the hunt classical song which I found on 

Marc v/d Meulen YouTube channel.

                                                                             New game

I started building my game in  animate, I decided that for my storyline I would have an alien called max and other animated characters talking to the player.

Ultimately, the players actions determine where max ends up at the end of the game.

In my first scene, I have Max introduced, and the player is told immediately that if they do not complete all of the tasks Max will fall into a black hole. 

This is the character I created, I decided to make their eyes and mouth into movie clips so they would be easier to change within each keyframes.

This is the living room I created earlier with the hole at the bottom. I made the instructions into a movie clip as well so I could easily edit them without changing the contents of the scene too much. 

 Editing.

I focused now more on editing the videos I had into premiere pro,

I then produced this video below, where I combined my daytime filming and night time film, I still had not decided whether I wanted to have my own commentary in the audio or music. 

Overall, I did not render the video enough so it was overly shaky, and it felt incomplete.
