Sound Editing (2)


We are currently using the built in audio effects that adobe premier offers to edit the music and sounds in our video.  As mentioned before, we are using Lana Del Rey's song 'Video Games', and have decided to introduce the music as if it were coming through our characters headphones. In order to make this sound realistic, we had to make the music sound tinny at first so that it could have the intended effect, and used highpass to do so. Using highpass, we were able to key point exactly where we wanted the effect to start and stop.

The screen shot below show's us experimenting with the audio effect, still trying to create the perfect balance of sound at the right time.

Costume Planning For Dolls (Draft 2)

We have decided for our character to have a 'girly' type of look so that she gives the impression that she takes care of herself and looks quite vulnerable. She will be wearing a dress which will be either pink or red.


She will also be wearing leggings or tights with red heels.






We also want her to look smart to show that she has a bright future ahead of her so we will be dressing her in a black blazer.

Our character will have different accessories like jewellery (silver earrings, bangles, rings etc) but we specifically want our character to have a pink phone and pink headphones to show a really 'girly' side to her.
