Creating the Sound



We used garage band to create the music for our film opening, using a mixture of instruments, such as piano, guitar and drums. The picture above shows a picture of our music as it looked when created on garageband, made smaller to fit it all in one picture. The music took a number of days to create originally, and then changes had to be made continuously when editing our film, to make the music match correctly to the changes in tempo that occured throughout our film opening... and there were a few.

The Dark Room

The name of our film was a decision we made at the last minute, as we hoped looking at our final edit of our opening would make one of the names jump out as the most suitable. Through looking over our film opening, and at the answers we got from our audience research questionnaire, we cut our list of 11 down to just 3... The Dark Room, Exposure and Through the Lens.
  • Exposure was the name which had the best relation to the plot of our film, linking to both the fact that he's taking pictures of her, and that she is exposed to him without even knowing it.
  • The Dark Room was our original idea for the name of the film, and it was the name that looked best in the opening to our film.
  • Through the Lens got the best reaction from our audience research, with several saying it was their favourite.

Taking all of those aspects into account, The Dark Room was the name that we decided on, as it was simple yet effective, and it also emphasised the importance of the dark room to the film.
