Post-Break Recap

So over spring break, in addition to the stuff mentioned in my last post, Nat was able to add some flash-forward inserts in order to allude to the murder. Meaning, in the beginning, there are jump cuts to post-murder shots, to set more of an eerie tone and to get the audience involved with what is going to happen. We also added some time stamps while we were in class, in order to make the time difference more apparent. We are still working on certain sounds, but we were able to record and insert things like water running, and ripping paper for transition sound effects.

For the sound effects, I have learned that even if it sounds really quiet when you first record it, once you put it on iMovie you can really adjust it to the volume you need. For example, the water running that I recorded was fairly quiet, but once we uploaded it we were able to adjust the volume to where you could hear it over the music, but it wasn't overly loud. The main reason the sound wasn't very loud to begin with was because it was recorded using the Voice Memos app that comes on every iPhone. This app is really useful, but it doesn't have the volume aspect that we originally needed, due to the location of the microphone on my phone. To get sounds, we have to make sure the microphone is as close as possible to what we need to record. I learned this app is actually fairly useful, and I will probably be utilizing it in my CCR if I need to use voiceovers at some points.

Something we need to work on is making our actual title slide more prominent. Meaning, we need to make sure that it is differentiated from the rest of the credits. We could try downloading another font, or change the color. Changing the color would probably be the easiest route, but may not achieve the level of differentiation that we need.

**update: I ended up changing both the font AND the color.**
