Sound

I started of with the idea of using a voice over. However, I simply did not have enough time for this so I used background sound throughout the whole film on iMovie. I think this some how contributed towards the genre of my short film being a documentary based drama. I used eerie sounds to create suspense and a heartbeat sound for the bathroom scene as one of the endings was where Shazad ends his life. One of the sounds I used was a type writing sound when text appeared on the screen, I think this was effective for the audience as the sound helps you stay focused so you read the text. I decided to use dialogue on my bullying scene but you couldn't hear it with the quality of the camera. So instead I decided to use my bullying scene in the reverse scene and added a 'rewind' sound. The sound on iMovie was rather limited so some sounds were repeated.

Props

This was the makeup used to get Shazad's cuts on his arm. The blood was used for the bath when Shazad decided to end his life.

These were the props used for Shazad's bedroom scene. The purple box which contained the heels, the makeup box and the mosque hat.

My short film teaser- Reverse scene

This is my reverse scene from my short film. However, this is before I edited it and put the sound in. I am thinking of putting in a a 'rewind' sound and an edit to make my reverse scene stand out as it creates meaning to the rest of the film.
