Editing – take your footage to your computer –

upload the photos/production you shot, and edit

it. Cut out the boring parts. Make quick cuts and

hold the viewers interest. Editing between

various angles can quickly show multiple things

going on in the same scene.

Adding music/sounds – make sure that your

music flows with what is going on during the

movie at the second. Music gives the movie an

emotional stance. It changes the audience’s

emotions which give them a more positive view

on your film. You can vary your music, to make

the audience feel happy, sad, angry, scared,

excited, etc. depending on the outcome of the

film. Add titles/credits – The name of the film needs to

be added at the beginning so that the audience

know what they are watching. It also gives the

first impression of the film, so the typography

should fit to the genre, which in this case is

horror. Credits at the end of the film will

acknowledge the cast and crew so the audience

knows who was in it, or helped produce the film.
