Editing Software - Sony Vegas

Sony Vegas editing software allows clips to be edited and ordered in a simple way. The timeline enables clips to be viewed before they have even been rendered. The thriller will be put together on this program before it is transferred into Adobe After Effects to add all the extra effects.

The sounds will be done on Vegas as its quite complicated to do on After Effects. We will use a soundtrack throughout the thriller to build up tension and suspense, extra sound effects such as door slams and other sounds associated with horror may also be used.

Before the colour grading is done in After Effects a simple brightness/contrast colour correction will be applied to all the clips just to improve the quality and the overall look of the clips.

The final thriller will be rendered out in 720p at 15fps as that is what the camera films in. This will assure that we get the best quality possible out of the camera and will make our thriller look a lot sharper. The size of the finished thriller will be 1280x720 and will uploaded to both youtube and vimeo.
