Titles

We have also designed the production titles for our film. We that our production company name would be "Abraham producitons" and that our Studio name would be "Jailbreaker Studios". We used "Live type" which is another peice of software for the Mac.
For the Abraham Productions title we wanted somthing which would look fairly 19th century american and also include a Lincoln reference. We found a font on Livetype called Mesquite std that looked exactly like the image we intended. We also decided that we could have a tophat ontop of the A in Abraham, we found a good picture on google images which we then editied in Abdobe photoshop, we inverted the colours so that instead of being black on a white background it was white on a black background, this made it visible on the black background which we would use for our titles.

Sountrack

We have now filmed our production, although before we began editing we did some work on the soundtrack which is one of the most important elements used to set the atmosphere in most films. To create are sountrack we are using garage band on the Mac. Firstly we had a browse through many of the avaidable sounds at our disposal. We decided since we wanted the atmosphere to be tense and fairly mysterious we would use quite a few dark sounds with orchestral elements. -a selection of the different sounds we thought would sound good in our thriller We also played around with the functions on garage band to understand how to make a better and more realistic soundtrack. -Using the "musical typing" function to create the different elements of the soundtrack. Overall garage band is a usefull and easy to learn how to use piece of software, It was good for what we had. although if i did have access to a large range of real instruments that create a dark atmosphere such as an orchestra i would definatly use them instead.
