Final Product



Our finalised cut to our project. Dead Facade. In this piece we added a soundtrack for the second scene to even out the background noise, we added a calmer background track unlike the previous drafts where the wind was unsettling and ruined one of the key moments with its disturbing level of noise. To tackle this issue as we mentioned we simply replaced the second soundtrack but kept specific intervals of the previous track, for example when the main actor coughs. We did this to keep authenticity and professionalism as it would suspiciously seem unjust if the main character was to cough and yet no effects were to proceed (i.e - the coughing sound effect).

Editing - Overall Analysis


We didn't want dialogue in the film because we felt it was the one part in amateur filming where it made the film feel less real so we opted to use a sound track through the first scene. As mentioned before we used a classical song by Mozart to give an ironic and dark feel which draws contrasts from 'A Clockwork Orange'. We used a variety of shots and used the point of view shots alot to show the action at a better pace. In the second scene we wanted to keep a more real life and edgy feel so we hand held most of the shots when following the character.

Editing - Sound Analysis


We wanted to give this scene that edgy but real feel to it, the problem with the cameras we use is that the sound starts off and stops when a new cut is put in. In order to combat this we overlapped the sound so that there are no sudden changes between the shots with sounds changing. We would ideally want to get rid of the whole wind noises going through the camera but we don't really want to use another sound track to go through it.
