Busy Weekend- Final version of "The Suspicious Birthday"

Last week, I had spend most of time working on my context 1 essay, I have finished it and send it to Jools, then I got some feedback from it.

Therefore, during the weekend, I had improved my essay and it was done now then I had finished the edited of my one shot film. 


At the start, I had added some typewriter sound effects with some digital style words, because this created the tension to make it look more serious. The texts that I added at the beginning were inspired from a HK film that I watched recently.




In addition, a suspicious music gradually increased as background music. Sound effects such as, walk steps on the snow had added on the top. I had added sound effects of the action in order make it standout and again increase the tension e.g. zipping the jacket, envelope hand over to the birthday boy etc. Once the birthday boy, open the envelope, some loud party blowers sounds added to increase in order to make the audience feel shock, then “Happy Birthday” background music played gradually to create the happy and cheerful mood.

In this edit, I had created my own sound effect. At the end, when Hollie and me said “Happy Birthday” I had cut this section from the Adobe sound booth, I made the it louder and reduced the background. Although It still contain the background noise, it was better compare to the actual one.


The title of the film, I had added this at the end, as this would not break the serious mood at the beginning, and I think this fit very well. There we go of my final edited:
