We'll Meet Again - foundation portfolio rough Edit

 

Feedback:

• Good eerie feel
• sound effects/music is good when Harry is grabbed
• possibly a bit more music in the background?
• sound bleed for the song is cool but could be smoother (transition effect?)
• title card looks cool
• glitches are well placed
• Starting with silence is a missed opportunity I feel, unless that silence is really deliberate. Your opening could have a foreboding / sinister note held that bleeds over from the logo to really set atmosphere / tone. You only have 2 mins! Make every sec count.
• I wonder if your film doesn’t feel like it needs some more establishing shots. Doesn’t have to be conventional wide/ long shots but more just random shots that help set the scene and place the audience in the picture of where the scene is set. You can have opening credits come up in after effect style that suits the look / feel, over these shots?
• Look at trying out some other suspense-filled, more creepy sound tracks. Just try a few options and make sure you have the best version of this film opening when you choose in the end.
• Laying sound effects can really help to help mimic the audiences reaction / give us the same sensation as the main character when he gets a fright.
• Work out what your moments of tension are and then use sound to really ramp those up. I’d add in sound effects when he sees the creepy guy in the car, when you see the car turning around… when he sees the car parked with door open. All moments of realisation that make us identify with the victim and feel suspense on his behalf.

what I will be changing:

• add in a sound that starts with the logo and continues on with the scene
• add more suspenseful music in key parts --> moments of realisation 
• create a more 70s, 80s look to match the glitches
• title card
• lighting
• add in 'featuring music by Vera Lynn' in the credits
• add a heartbeat?
• smoother transition of music when going from diegetic to non-diegetic
