Edit Decision List
We decided as a group to have the short film start off with sudden happy music, as we agreed between each other that this was an attempt at giving a false atmosphere and pushing audiences to make false predictions thinking the short film would be more joyful.
It would then fade off when it came near to the suspenseful or suspense driven moments. We also decided to add in something distinctive to show that character is actually reacting to something he heard from within the classroom, which was a few static noises.
We then made the decision to have the suspense build from the moment the character is walking into the classroom. We met the requirement of it being a thriller as we decided as the suspense builds, it would have a sudden dramatic stop as the door sound effect plays. The door sound effects and bell ringing sound effects are all sound effects that we originally planned from the moment of production as we found it impossible to get a visual with clear audio of the door shutting and bell ringing as there was a lot of external noise that we were not allowed to record or input in our short film.
We then decided to have the jumpscare scene sped up to make the masked character seem more abnormal as they are moving at a fast pace. This creates an abnormal or tensed experience for the audience as they did not expect the masked character to be abnormal. We also decided to lower the noise to make a sudden loud sound which would help with the jumpscare as on its own, it would not seem as much of a jumpscare.
We made a decision to add montages into to showcase the setting of where the main character has been randomly teleported to. We used fade in and out animations to make it seem like more of a quick montage of scenery shots.
This is the implementation of the credit scene, we agreed together that it made sense to have a credit scene to both credit the involving roles as well to apply another similarity to the conventions of films and short films
