Thriller Development #16: Further Editing

Wednesday 5th December

In class we watched the remaining thriller rough edits from other groups and filled in their questionnaires, before continuing to edit.

Additions:

1. We added in opening credits of our names and those who took part in film making on final cut express.

2. With successfully filming the bus scene we were able take out the bad shots where the bus and driver didn't match. So all continuity errors in our thriller opening are now eliminated.   

3. We took out the wind effect we originally added in to make it more dramatic because the fade cross over didn't work entirely well. So we left the music to drone out as it was ending.

4. On the bus scene I cut up the scene and made it change angle frequently so it wasn't boring and still for too long. It also fixed a problem we had with the driver jumping forwards slightly when we cut the footage down.

5. Did a general trim or extending of some shots. We trimmed down a shot of the antagonist so you only see them for a spilt second before cutting to black.


Dialogue still hasn't been recorded because we ran out of time and Abi is still against recording it just to see what it would sound like, because it will sound naff.  

This would also help us improve the narrative of the plot line as some students found it , "Hard to follow", "Bit Vague" and someone even asked "What is it?"
