Day 7 of editing

During the seventh day, we decided that we had to add in the soundtrack to make sure we had picked the right one. Once placing it into adobe premiere elements 10 we had to find the best place to put it. We decided that we were not going to start the music straight away but as the female protagonist starts walking to school. We had to fade in the music so it wasn't abrupt. The difficulty which we experienced through this was trying to get the background noise to not be as loud. We spent around 10 minutes trying to find away to lower the volume. Once we eventually found the way to do this, we made sure that the volume of the background noise could still be heard but also so the music was still the main feature. We then had to stop the soundtrack in a certain place so that when the characters begin talking they could be heard. We done this by fading out the music in time for when the first character begins to talk. This proved quite effective but was also a difficult task at the time. We then had to place the soundtrack back into the film once the dialogue was finished. Seeing as we had previously done this it wasn't as difficult this time. Once we had added in the soundtrack and thought that it was in a suitable place we had to create production credits. We found a picture on Google of an old camera. We saved this image and put it into two frames. We then added the effect of black and white onto the first frame and added the transition additive dissolve where it changed the black and white image to colour. We then had to add in a title underneath the picture so we had our own production credit. We were pleased with the outcome and finally rendered the footage to make sure it went well with each other without any jumps.
