Creating A Scary Scene

Our creation of a scary scene:

We decided to pan across the empty school to try and give the scene an eerie atmosphere before we then stopped on Rachel in the window. We decided to have Rachel in a neutral position because it makes her seem more ghost like and it would make the scene scarier. We also decided to put the clip in black and white, instead of colour, because we felt that it would add to the tension we were trying to create. There was a crow in the background that fit really well with the clip, so we didn't add in any other sound effects or music. This is because we thought the crow on it's own had a big enough impact on the short clip and we found that the less sounds that were involved in the clip, the tenser the atmosphere was.
