Behind the scenes

Editing 2

Today we left school at 6:30, as our dealine is comming soon so we are trying to finish off our film. We have got all the footage we need, we just spent most of the time trying to put our footage in order, and croping. Our film looks ok at the moment, however it is a bit short as it is only 3 minutes and 40 seconds long, so we need to play around with more clips and to try and drag the film out. We have already planned to put in some effects such as slow motion putting more cuts in our film, I think this will help us make our film longer as well as creating more suspense.

Editing is probably the most difficult part for whilst producing this coursework, but the more I am on the macs the more familiar I feel I am with final cut.

Changes made due to audience

As you've seen from my recent posts my group has been given a lot of good advice of how to improve our film, how to make it longer and add more suspense into our film, and we have decided to use these suggestions. I feel like todays been productive as we've done a few changes, such as editing the colour settings on our flashback scene to black and white, so now when you watch our film its shown in a sophisticated way that the time settings are different.

Today we went back to our main location to film close up shots of our actors feet as they were walking and running, and we asked them to deliberatly make loud footsteps so we could capture the sound on our camera, which we will use in our film.

After this we filmed we tried to film some close up shots, and more fast pace quick camera movements. We tried to run with the camera, however it was not what we expected. We thought we could simply run with the camera and get the shots we needed, but the footage was really shaky or aim was wrong. We were thinking about giving up however we found a little trolley what you use to lift boxes in our group members house, so we decided that I should get on that and someone should reel me around while I'm filming on a flip camera.
