Editing

This blog post is showing the editing we are carrying out on our film production. After filming the first lot of footage we found that it wasn't long enough once it had been cut and put together following the storyboard. We made some sections of the film opening slow motion as it made the footage more dramatic and we also felt that it may add some extra time to the film opening, however, it was 1minute and 25seconds long and still wasn't long enough and so we added to our storyboard and planned to refilm the footage.

 

 

Once we had filmed the second lot of footage we found that we had a lot more to work with and that when briefly put together and cut it was a lot longer than the first time at around 2minutes and 20seconds, meaning that it was long enough.

 



 

We then went through and used the blade tool to cut the footage where it was needed in order to make sure the match on action in the film was smooth and had a flow to it. We also cut out any footage that we felt didn't work and reordered some pieces to make it flow more.

 

We then went through and removed the sound from the footage so that we could add the appropriate sounds where needed in the footage. We removed the sound from all the footage except the scene where the dog barks as we felt that it would be difficult to add in the sound again and make it look realistic and there was no background noise which made it difficult to hear the dog barking in the scene.

 

 

We then added in the Professional and one of our on Production Companies at the beginning of the film opening. We chose to use Blumhouse Productions as we had researched this production company and felt that it wasn't too long and would fit with our other production company. We then inserted one of our own production companies in afterwards which was short and effective before the film opening began.
