Editing softwares
iMovie
iMovie is a proprietary video editing software application sold by Apple Inc. for the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It was originally released in 1999 as a Mac OS 8 application bundled with the first FireWire-enabled consumer Mac model – the iMac DV.Since version 3, iMovie has been a Mac OS X-only application included with the iLife suite of Macintosh applications.
iMovie imports video footage to the Mac using either the FireWire interface on most MiniDV format digital video cameras or the computer's USB port. It can also import video and photo files from a hard drive. From there, the user can edit the photos and video clips and add titles, music, and effects, including basic color correction and video enhancement tools and transitions such as fades and slides.

We used iMovie to edit our thriller due to how easy it is to use and edit effectively. We recorded all our footage and edited our thriller in under a week. However through our editing we found that there was some effects you couldn't do on iMovie we got introduced to Final cut.
Final Cut
Final Cut Pro is a non-linear video editing software developed by Macromedia Inc. and then Apple Inc. The most recent version, Final Cut Pro X, runs on Mac personal computers powered by Mac OS X version 10.6.7 or later and using Intel processors. The software allows users to log and transfer video onto a hard drive (internal or external), where it can be edited, processed, and output to a wide variety of formats.
Since the early 2000s, Final Cut Pro has developed a large and expanding user base, mainly video hobbyists and independent filmmakers. It has, in later years especially, made inroads with film and television editors who have traditionally used Avid Technology's Media Composer.

We used final cut for added sounds and effects on the lighting of our thriller and also making the title sequence move slower because this was something iMovie was not capable of doing. However, to produce the title sequence and news broadcast effect we used Motion.
Motion
Motion is a software application produced by Apple Inc. for their Mac OS X operating system. It is used to create and edit motion graphics, titling for video production and film production, and 2D and 3D compositing for visual effects.
Sources: Wikipedia
We used motion to do our news broadcast animation and create our title sequence after that we exported the sequence and put it back to iMovie so we could work on sound. We used Garageband to create our own sound.
Garageband
GarageBand is a software application for Mac OS X and iOS that allows users to create music or podcasts. It is developed by Apple Inc. as a part of the iLife software package on Mac OS X.

We used Garageband to create our own sound, it was quiet a difficult software to use but we got the basic right enough to produce sounds for our thriller.

Reflection
Today me and my group decided to reflect on our blogs and look to see if we have any missing details and information we want to add that will finalise our research and planning so we can start shooting on the 7th of March.

Sound research
A sound motif is any recurring sound that has symbolic significance in a story. Through its repetition, a motif can help produce other narrative (or literary) aspects such as theme or mood. For example, shark sounds tend to be very noticeable and popular as it is used in a lot of scenes with sharks about to appear.
Synchronous sound
- are those sounds which are synchronized or matched with what is viewed. For example: if the film portrays a character playing the piano, the sounds of the piano are projected.
Both dialogue and sound effects
may be recorded during shooting, but sound effects are usually added
later. Synchronous Sound is recorded on either magnetic film or tape. On
magnetic film perfect synchronization between the picture and the sound
can be achieved only if the film and the tape are moving at the same
speed. Otherwise, dialogue will not correspond with the lip movements of
the actors, and sound effects will not match the action in the film.
Synchronous motors on both camera and recorder, as well as the same sort
of perforations on both the magnetic film and the camera film, assure
synchronization, or sync.
This is what you would find in thrillers especially scenes where there is a police chase or gun shot there as to be synchronous motors on scene to record the sound so during editing if the camera didn't catch all the sound they can add it into the scene.

Asynchronous sound
- which is indigenous to the action but not precisely synchronized with the action.
In a closeup in which the surroundings are not visible, a sound
that seeps into the shot sometimes impresses us as mysterious, simply
because we cannot see its source. It produces the tension arising from
curiosity and expectation. Sometimes the audience does not know what the
sound is they hear, but the character in the film can hear it, turn his
face toward the sound, and see its source before the audience does.
This handling of picture and sound provides rich opportunities for
effects of tension and surprise. Asynchronous Sound
can acquire considerable importance. If the sound or voice is not tied
up with a picture of its source, it may grow beyond the dimensions of
the latter. Then it is no longer the voice or sound of some chance
thing, but appears as a pronouncement of universal validity. The surest
means by which a director can convey the pathos or symbolical
significance of sound or voice is precisely to use it asynchronously.
Asynchronous sound is used in thrillers when the antagonist is about to attack but the director add this sound in so the audience know something is about to happen but it could be anything this is to build suspense and thrill the audience we intend to use this in our thriller.
