Editing:

For editing i use a software called adobe after effects, in which my close friend Moiz helped me a lot in understanding things 

Sounds:

The background sound of the preliminary, as when i was in search of a perfect sound i was going to different websites, then on youtube i search for haunted clock ticking and found this video from the very popular show stranger things as i heard the sound i was like this is the one. All the key elements i needed for the sound the video had it. later i converted the file to mp3 and used in editing. 

Note:the sound was taken from https://www.youtube.com/ on 29 September around 9 pm.

Color Grading/ color palette:

as such no color grading was done to enhance the video, hence this is color palette, these palettes were made by finely extracting  colors from video's environment and present it to you:

 

 

 

 Title: The Chrono Code 

Script:

Lighting:

Natural lighting was used in the making of the preliminary, to get the aesthetic feel of a office room with a window, which was later enhanced through editing.

Editing:

the editing was done on Capcut mobile app:

This is point where i am adding an overlay of the AI notification, this was a new and a different  concept  for me which i personally wanted to add in my preliminary as it is revolving around a technology and AI.

sounds is one of the most crucial thing i personally thing sounds are the one which gives the purpose of the scene if the sound doesn't match the current situation its a waste of time.  In this particular image as you can see bunch of sound are being used. one of them is the background music" the main theme of Jaws" the movie along with a typing sound effect and notification effect. Along with some voice overs.

Sound that were used in the preliminary:

While searching for the perfect background sound, I explored various websites and eventually turned to YouTube. I searched for a psychological sounds like based on our genre  sound and came across a video from the iconic movie Jaws. The moment i heard the tune, I knew this was the one with all the vibe I was looking for. Later, I converted the file to MP3 and used it in the editing process.same goes for the other sounds mentioned below.

Note: All of these sounds were taken from https://www.youtube.com/ on 11 Decemeber 2024, Wednesday at 5 pm
