WHAT WE DID TO EDIT OUR FILM
What Editing techniques did we use
During our shoot day we film over 300 individual clips, some useful and some not but the most challenging thing was going through each clip and working out which ones to keep and discard which took and awful amount of time, this however made sure we had the best footage available to put into one film and make it the best we could, we did however keep some clips that were similar and at the highest quality possible to compare how they fitted in with the rest of the clips either side of it. finally we did take extra shots for our film but those parts never the cut as we realised the film would become long winded and slightly boring for the viewer.
When filming we managed to gather a lot of shots at different angles. This meant we were able to create a much better viewing perspective by putting many different shots throughout the film. We invested in a lot of time to make sure all our shots were in perfect order with correct timings to make sure the film flows and is easy for the audience watching to understand the film without having to raise an eyebrow by being confused. By creating a good order of shots, we were able to the thriller/horror film intended in the first place, for example the flashback in the opening scene and shot reverse shot conversation inside the car.
Although we film around 300 clips, we did have to perfect the ones we used using many different editing tools and features to to give a better viewing perspective as well as adding special effects for a much greater dimension and enhance the 'thriller' theme. For our over the head drone shot we have learnt how to add the effect of CCTV cameras as well as black and white visual effects.Furthermore we have used a number of black screen to create suspense, shock and horror to keep the audience at the edge of there seat. In the morning of shooting our film the light was very bright so we have used tools to darken the effect as well as cutting the shot as there were object scene to the side and behind which ruins the shot completely. Finally the use of slow motion also enhances the scene and defines important occurrences throughout the movie
The film however would not be complete without the huge range of sound. throughout the film we have quiet but creepy noise as well as sections music that creates suspense as well as sound effects. For example, birds tweeting, camera snaps to enhance the crime scene effect scene at the end of the film. Subtle changes may be made to the sound in order to make the film sound better from an audiences perspective but overall I think our sound camera and editing of our film is very well executed creating a very good short thriller film.
