Editing Diary By Beth Cass

Sunday 28th April 2013

4:00pm

The editing process firstly begun with sorting out all the footage into groups of footage we wanted to keep and what needed to be deleted. We then analysed the best ones that we were to be used in the film, renaming the clips was also the best thing to do as then we could clearly see what files were for each scene.
Once each clip was sorted, the story line needed to be finalized and discuss what extra bits we wanted to make it better e.g. short clips like close up of the face, to be used as flashbacks. The program we used for editing was Final Cut Pro on an Apple Mac.

5:00pm

The title sequence and the production name were firstly made and put into Final Cut to begin the video. We then chose some music to start the thriller off and the emphasis on the track would be reflected on the Production name and Title coming up. Also for the title we chose some fonts off of a website on the internet that would have fitted in with the theme of our film. Fitting the music track to match the flickering of the writing on the screen was then the next step. This was the first section completed and could then start importing clips of our actual filming. 

6:00pm

The clips were sorted into the scenes so picking out the right clips was a quick process. Then they were imported into Final Cut and moved them around and cut some shorter to fit in better. The colour of the film was changed to black and white to make it more scary and eery for the viewer. When the first few shots were put together the music was then put over the top with the constant beat in the background to fit with the action this then lead onto the rest of the thriller being put together.

7:30pm

Final editing was done and different music tracks were put over the top. Finishing it and polishing it up was the final thing to do and then ready for viewers to watch.

Psychotic Update By Beth Cass

In the last upcoming weeks to the final deadline there have been a few problems we have had to overcome for our thriller film.
Firstly, the camera equipment we have used so far is a high tech camera that provides excellent quality of filming and for a short period of time when we needed it to film it was being used by the owner. This delayed our filming of our film as we couldnt use another camera as the quality of the footage wouldnt have been the same. Which would then have affected the quality of the film outcome.

The main problem of the making process is that our main character left school during the filming process which caused us a huge decision whether to keep the footage we had already shot and make the thriller out of the minimal filming we had or to completely start again with a different main character to make the story understandable and clear to the audience. If we had left the character with Callie this then could have made our thriller not make sense and not clear on what the story would be about, we couldnt film the remaining scenes left with another character as again it wouldnt be clear to the audience who the main focus is on.

We have made the decision that re-filming the thriller with a different main character is the best possible idea because the footage we already have is too short and isnt enough to be able to link together and make sense. We will now need to alter our blog and re-do evaluations that include pictures of analysis of our main character.
