Explanation of Screen Test

From the screen test you can see that I was experimenting with garage band and editing techniques. As a result it has given me my FINAL idea about my film. As no one can make the dates I want to film I am going to do the filming alone, and taking shots of particular images that will feature in my film. You can see this from the trees I filmed in my screen test. I will take shots of the barn and particular trees I have seen when I have been down to the barn to take some photos. I am also using the technique of the 'Terrible Place' If I film the barn then this would be known as the 'Terrible Place' where all the bad things happen within the film. This would foreshadow the rest of the film.

The music that features in my screen test is just the basic three notes I will use, but I will adapt this and make it longer adding in different effects for the final thing. For example I will reverb and echo the music and also add in voices. I have also noticed that the music I have composed sounds rather similar to the opening music of 'Nightmare on Elm Street' which there is conventional to a horror film; even though I have never seen the film and didn't mean to make my music similar.

I also like the fact that even though I shot the trees in natural lighting, it has almost gone to black and white. I may shoot my film in colour and then experiment with colour, black and white or sepia.

As I have had my final...yes final idea, I am planning to film on Saturday, on my own, and can come in during the holidays and edit my film.
