My Production Company

My Production Company

 

The first thing I thought of for my production company was the name, I liked 'Trouille Productions' because trouille means spooky in French.

After watching other student production companies I found that most of them are simplistic so I decided to do something simple, which is when I thought of an eye opening. 

I used Final Cut Pro to edit my production company, so I was able to change the speed and colour of what I had originally filmed. I wanted to edit the iris to make it red but because I don't know how to edit pictures very well, I wasn't able to do that. Instead I just added a filter to the video to make it darker and more dramatic.

I wanted to use a sound because without sound it would be quite boring, and I also wanted it to match the horror genre. I searched for sounds on Final Cut Pro and tried out multiple sounds such as a gunshot, buzzing bees, a lion roar and a creepy musical one. I also searched for 'horror music' but there wasn't any on there so in the end I used a dinosaur scream. I like how it is contrapuntal to what is actually happening in the video and that it is very short and sudden. I would prefer it to be a human scream so to make it better I would find an un-copyrighted scream and use that, or record my own scream.

I used the blade tool to cut out a section of the video so that I could change it to decrease the speed. I did this to make it more dramatic because before I had edited it, it was quite quick and didn't seem dramatic at all. 

I think my production company is quite good, I really like the text I chose and I think the eye opening is quite dramatic so it conforms to the horror genre. The only thing I don't really like is the sound because it sounds quite amateur, but that could easily be changed.
