Treatment

Due to the fact that we filmed our media product at midday, it meant that it was very bright and on original viewing it did not create the eerie atmosphere that is associated with horrors.

We decided to use the colour wheel to create a filter over each clip in a blue colour, as this made it look more dull and gloomy. It also gave the effect that it was cold due to blue being a cold colour. This created the effect we had hoped for.

We then used the luna curve feature along with the feather tool to create an vignette within the footage. This darkened the edges of the screen, making the footage appear darker and to bring more focus to the centre of the clip.

We added audio over the top of the footage. This was an uncopyrighted audio clip we found on the internet which played noises such as wind and quiet screeching - we felt this sounded suspenseful and creepy. We also added panting and screaming at the end of the video over the top of this audio for a greater effect.

Throughout the video, we used key frames to add in credits of the smaller cast roles (for example, location scout). We also used key frames to add in the title of our film at the end of the video.
