Update on Editing

Today myself, Shelley and Samantha edited our film. Yesterday, Samantha and Shelley tried to edit some more, but the programme was not working properly again. All they did was put the footage in the right sequence and turn two of the shots into black and white. At this point the programme strted to play up again. They then decided to stop editing and try again the next day.

Today we started editing again and the programme was fine. Shelley turned some more shots into black and white, and also made it look like it was old age footage. This was used to show that these shots were part of a dream.

We also changed the lighting of two of the shots of Samantha twisting and turning whilst she was sleeping. This was to show that her character was having a nightmare. It was also to make the atmosphere more like a thriller.

We also tried other effects on other shots but they had no effect on those shots. We also lightened up two of the shots as they were too dark and couldn't see what was hapening in the mise en scene.

Furthermore, we added some transistions in order for the footage to make sense and for it to not look to jumpy.So we added some cross dissolves.

In addition, we added the titles. We first thought of "Apple Films Presents", but we remembered that we can not usecopyright makes. So we came up with "Clucky Films Presents" and "A Deathly Productions". We then went on to show who did what in the making of the opening. As a group we decided to show the titles in between shots. The titles are shown in red.

Today we also decided on the music.
Ernest created 5 different songs for our media film. We listened to them today and found one in which Ernest created that went with the footage. The music is slow but not too slow and is also in time with the footage. Thanks to Ernest, the music creates a thriller type atmosphere.
