Final Media Project - The Pathway

Changes!

We decided to change parts of the opening 2 minutes, this is because in the draft the last 1 minute was just walking down a pathway, with nothing happening, so we decide to change it, we asked our teacher and asked what grade what we would get with our draft. Our teacher (Mrs Martin) told us and we started to make changes straight away. We decided to get rid of the last minute and added a minute at the start of the film, this was because the last minute was bringing our marks down. We added the minute at the start of Emma in a graveyard looking over her friends grave, and holding a picture of Emma and her friend (Bryony), and we got Emma to read a letter and added a voice over of Emma reading the letter, to give it a more freaky effect.
We also added sound to the video to give it a more freaky effect. For this we used a Electric Piano/Keyboard, this would enable us to get a whole range of different sounds and we searched through the sounds until we found a more scarier sound. We made a piece which Bryony composed and it was really effective. Then added it to the final piece.
We also added a sound of Emma screaming from when her face changes from normal to scary, this gave it a more scarier and effective feel to it once it was in the first 2 minutes.

We hope that this would've boosted our grade/marks up, as this has been vastly improved since our draft and made it more scarier.

Opening 2 Minutes draft

 

This is our opening 2 minutes although we are a few seconds of our target, there is a bit more film to yet be added which should cover the time we haven't covered. The main pieces we need to complete are more sound effects purely at the beginning of the 2 minutes, and a few camera shots need to be edited e.g. Emma's face change needs to be blended and also the scene where I show up next to the tree needs to be ended with me not being seen, to give the impression I was never there

The final Outcome of the Make up

 

This was the final outcome:

 

 

Step 4 - Horror Movie Make up

Step 4: This was the last step, we used a black eyeliner to outline the facial features of Emma's face to make the stand out and too look scarier. We also blackened Emma's lips to also make them stand out.

We had to make the lines on Emma's face more bold and darker, just so the camera would be able to pick them up and give it the more scarier effect. The black lips made Emma look like she is appearing dead.

Step 3 -Horror Movie Make Up

Step 3 - We used a pink, brown and black make up to outline more of the facial features and make the more bolder and stand out. This made look more scarier and to look sort of damaged. Emma's eyes look worn, like she has been worried or she hasnt had any sleep. This gives the effect that the victim's death was drawn out.

Step 2 - Horror Make Up

Step 2: Next we used a black eye shadow, this is to show the creases in the head, this gives an effect that she is constantly frowning, also this makes Emma's face look more darker than normal. This shows change in the victim.
