Horror Effect Screen Test

Update on the editing process: This is a quick screen test for an effect we are planning to use in the final movie. It is done by cutting the video into small segments and alternating them. I think it has been quite successful.

Filming Progress

We are now 2/3 of the way through our filming and editing. We have filmed all of the street and inside house scenes, and some graveyard shots to intercut with the possesion scene. We have edited down all the video for these scenes to make it look snappy, professional and creepy. We have also edited the audio so it flows well, and avoids it sounding like the audio is coming from different directions. We have added some royalty free music to enhance the scenes, 'The House of Leaves' and 'Tropic of Capri'. The former is an eerie string based soundrack song, used so far as a motif when Sam answers his phone, and the latter is a fast paced dance track used when Sam is running through the streets to make the video more fast-paced and action-packed.
   All we need to do now is film the opening scenes and the possesion scene and edit it down. The only problem is that it is set outside and thus we need to wait for an ideal time as the weather can be rather changeable at this time of year.

Snow

The large amounts of snow and ice around at this time of year could be used to build up an atmosphere in our movie and it could also make the filming look more interesting, artistic and visually interesting. It will also tie scenes together as many places look similar when snowy. This means that we can use different locations for different aspects of the filming and make it seem like it is set in only one place. The consistency of weather conditions will make the film flow better, and stop different scenes looking out of place.

EDIT:
Here are the scenes we had to scrap because of the snow, as explained below.
