Graphics and Special effects

In this picture you can see the effects which can be used in the short film as it could have a transition to go back in time and have an effect to create a more suspense feel to the short film. The edits can add tension in the story and will create more suspense. Within this specific scene where the visual flashes before the next scene, this could give a sudden effect on the audience, it can give the idea and connotation to the audience when viewing that the character has just blinked or has woken up in a different location.

This is an example of the flashback effect. A connotation of using this special effects for this particular scene is to show that the character is entering a dream like state. The way that the fx shows this is through manipulating the the point of view and twisting it and making it look more confusing. 

This is another effect which fades the colour to add more emphasis to the storyline. The denotation of fade to colour makes it so that when the film moves to the next clip rather than having a cut to it slowly fades the previous clip to a black screen before switching to the next scene or it makes the previous scenes gradually increase in transparency while in the moment of changing to the next scene. Fade to color that we added can create a change of mood in the film, this effect is a great way to change the mood from a moment of suspense to a moment of a relaxation.

Here's an example of where the effects are applied and shows where you can add the different effects. 

These are the credits at the end on who done what, which is shown at the end.

Here's another effect which is a flash effect which can give the short film a shock in the scenes, as it could flash to another scene. 

Sound Manipulation

In order to make our short film more fluent, another aspect we attempted to cover was sound manipulation. We edited in this area the different sound effects and sound tracks that needed to be edited in terms of audio level.

This sound effect is of the door closing, however due to there being background noise it made it difficult to insert it without having interruptions disrupting fluency within our short film. We used key frame tool to specifically point at the different spots where the db level should be raised and lowered. With the use of these audio key tools it denotes that many of the tracks that we thought originally were not suitable for the short film, were now made possible for use, with this tool. 

This is also another action that can be made possible using audio key tool. We were able to make a manual fade in for the audio. A possible connotation of using this specifically for a suspense ambience track is to make it so as the student moved closer towards the teachers desk, the louder the ambience got, making it feel more suspenseful to the audience.
