Editing meeting 4

We tried to change the lighting in some of the shots in our sequence as it differed. To do so, we used the effects on final cut. To do so, we grabbed the effect and placed it on the shot we wanted to change and finally we had to play around with the saturation etc. to create the correct balance. We managed to do so successfully and were happy with the results.

After editing the shots, I began constructing the soundtrack for the film. When we were editing our sound, we experimented with many different styles. We thought about doing contrapuntal sound, but after trying this we realized it detracted from the mysterious ominous feeling of the film. We then went about producing a more eerie soundtrack, which was more thriller-like and we felt it fit well with our sequence.  We put a twist onto our film by using a non- diegetic urban soundtrack produced by one of the members of our group to add the feel of a ‘street’ film. This is because we wanted our target audience, younger people, to be able to familiarise with it.  

Editing meeting 2

Trying to create continuity editing with our shots was very difficult because we failed to film a variety of shots, thus it caused difficulty when we tried to make interesting shots whilst editing. We overcame this problem by cutting the shots so that they matched accurately. We tried to do this so that we could meet the brief of creating continuity editing.

Editing meeting 1

Myself and Billie's first editing session involved us getting rid of all the un wanted footage and cutting our sequence down to our favourite camera angles and shots. This took some time as we didnt know what we wanted to lose or keep. We then begun constructing a timeline of what happens in the sequence. We did this on final cut, it was considerably hard because we had lost some of our footage, so we had to work with what we had. Although we had these problems we managed to build up a timeline of the sequence and we were then set to get started on the cutting and the editing the lighting etc 

Intial Ideas

These were a few initial ideas my group came up with. We thought about how we wanted to create the shots, how we would display the credits, who our characters would be etc. We eventually decided to go for a chase/kidnap storyline. We also wanted to build on this story plot by having most of the film shot in a point of view perspective. This is so that the audience could feel like they were part of the action. We'd hoped that this would also create enigma.    

Feedback

After receiving the feedback from our peers, we decided that we had to change all of  the sound as we had originally unawarely used a copyright track, so we were thankful that we had peer assessments. This enabled us to change it. Also it helped us to understand how people took to the sequence, whether or not they liked the plot .
