Recording Sounds

Today we decided to find some sound effects to use in our film opening. We needed an echoed grunt to use in the murder scenes so we used the small stairwell for the echo.
We also needed the sound of the taps running to use as a monotonous sound throughout the opening 

For the sound of someone being stabbed we used the sound of someone stamping on the melting ice.


We used the breaking of a stick for the neck break.

We used the stage as a place to get a good echo on the footsteps of the man in our opening.

Filming Wed 24th November

We filmed two scenes today using the school hall as we needed a black background with some light shining in to give the desired effect for the shots.
