Post production evaluation

 When I reach the steps of editing my work on a film project I focus heavily on perfecting the audio and visual transitions to intensify the suspenseful atmosphere. I add in background sounds such, as a gust of wind the gentle patter of footsteps and unexpected screams to create an atmosphere that keeps viewers on edge. The ongoing wind sets a tone of isolation and unpredictability while the placed footsteps suggest a presence nearby. 

 

When a sudden scream pierces the silence and startles the observer​ it instills a sense of fear​. This is used for example, in the first scene with victim one, where the hooded figure sneaks up on the victim. The sound helps to make the scene more eerie. 

 

Through editing methods I tried out ways to manage the flow of the film scenes effectively. To create transitions, between scenes and give viewers a chance to pause and anticipate what's next I used fades in some instances. 

 

On the other hand, when the tension was high and emotions were running strong I went for cuts to portray the sense of urgency and energy capturing the raw essence of fear and making the film more exciting. To enhance the atmosphere further in my work I incorporated effects. I mixed the sound of the wind with a soft background hum to create suspense before a scene developed fully. By tweaking the volume and timing I made sure that each sound. had its own place to influence the ambiance without overshadowing other things like the narrator. I spent a lot of time re-watching the sequence, making small edits to the cuts and fades until everything flowed just right. I played around with different transitions to see how they changed the feel of a scene, quick cuts created a chaotic, unpredictable energy, while slower fades allowed tension to build naturally. In some moments, I even dropped the sound to near silence right after an intense sequence. 

 

This pause gave the audience a second to breathe, which made the next twist hit even harder. One of the most interesting parts of post production was adding the narrator. I decided to use an unreliable voiceover, one that didn’t always give clear or consistent information. This kept the audience questioning what was real and what wasn’t, forcing them to piece things together on their own. By adding this voice over the visuals and sound effects, I was able to add an extra layer of mystery and unease, making the story even more engaging.
