Creating an Opening Title
For my project I decided it would be better to make our own title for a production company. For this I used Adobe After Effects and created one from scratch. The software is industry standard, so I wanted to make it as professional as possible. After watching a couple of tutorials on youtube for the software and learning from just playing around with the software I managed to create a functioning opening title. However I also wanted to add sound and fade effects to it, so I imported it to Premier Pro, with the main film footage, and added the sound effects on to it there. However, one problem I had was the first time I imported it the clip came out at a smaller resolution than I wanted so I rendered it again in After Effects and exported it again, and the quality was much better.

DRAFT Retaliation
- the volume of the music is too loud at points
- one of the cuts is delayed and needs to be edited
- lighting when shown on a projector may be an issue
- we have yet to film the ending
- the narrative may not be clear at this point
- sound effects need to be added
What is the narrative?
Can you notice the colour correction?
How does it fit the thriller genre?
How does the soundtrack create a mood or an atmosphere?
What is the audience for this short film?
Where would you expect to see this short film?
Is the pace of editing suited to the style of the film?
We switched the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 2.39:1 which is common to Thriller films. Do you like this style?
Is there enough dialogue?
Is the lighting an issue?
Here is also some feedback we gathered from an audience:

November Feedback Response
Your short film has a clear progression of shots and the bars are
effective in giving it a cinematic look. Shots are of a good quality and
framing and composition are proficient showing excellent technical
skill in use of the camera. Audio has been considered and a JVC camera
has been used which shows ambition and an ability to use a more advanced
camera.
Music is appropriate and builds tension ass does the length of shots. Feedback may indicate that shots are lengthy but this suits the style of the short film.
Music is copyright free as it is sourced from Incomputech so make this clear in your web-log or put it in the credits.
Document your creative journey
I don't think you need to overdub sound but maybe add some ambient sounds or effects.
The narrative is clear. Make sure that the story is not cliched. Be original and think of a twist at the end or defy expectations. I am intrigued as to how you will resolve the narrative. this is the key to level 4.
My response:
I think that the length of the shot fits well, as we want time to feel drawn out, like how it would feel in the protagonists situation. It is intended that we credit the appropriate sources that we used for our production. We also intend to add ambient sound effects and have plans to leave the narrative with a unique and exciting ending.
