Thriller Development #13: Editing

On Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd we started to edit.

Thursday

Miss Webb took us through the basics of how to use final cut express and how to set up a project. All our footage but the bus scene was imported. We named each scene and either labelled them with number or put ignore if it wasn't very good.

For example:
Telephone Box 1, Telephone Box 2, Telephone Box ignore, Telephone Box 3

Friday

On Friday we continued to edit. Because Abigail and myself did the majority of the filming and Becky hadn't made much of a practical input she didn't most the editing on the Mac Pro with our and Sophie's guidance.

By the end of the lesson we had ordered our footage and cut it where it was appropriate. To cut out unwanted footage (Length, camera shake, noise etc). When we ordered our footage into where we wanted it to go, we imported the music soundtrack we had chosen, which was Beethoven's Moonlight Symphony (Copyright free). 

The music and the shots transitioned well. We considered editing the music so when the scene with the bloody hand hits the window it will be in time with the beat of the symphony near the end. We all agreed that we will see once the bus scene is complete.

Bus scene problems - Heavy downpours in the mornings have stopped us from filming. It has become a problem for the last couple of days. Aiming to have it filmed by the end of this week (30th November).

We saved our current editing and are happy with what we have done so far. All that is left to do it import the bus scene and add in effects to each shot to make is flow smoothly. With each scene we have used different types of shots such as, Extreme close up, head shot, panning, full body shot and long shot.


We also still need to plan and work out how we are to present our titles.(Currently liking this one the most and are considering in using)
