Final Days of Filming

These are the crucial days of editing as the count down has begun.

After Chanise did a rough copy of the layout of the film, we had a rough guide of where the film was going.  From this we followed the story board to create our film. Although we shooted extra experimental shots we included these shots as match cuts and made it visually more interesting.

 From feedback from both Dan and Donna, we recieved constructive critisicms as well as what shots went well.  From this we had to play around with the shots we had, as some shots were out of focus or had glitches, somwtimes even the tripod was on set.

I helped with editing, putting the clips onto the timeline and it slowly coming together, the editing process was quite hard as certain clips had to be cut and shortened, and effects like transitions were considered to help a smooth follow through.

I also created a presentation on emaze, talking about location, filming problems and showing pictures of the filimg days.

We added music which enhanced the film, aswell as the transitions and effects.

Today whilst we was editing the final piece, Donna wanted to include previous clips from our first filming days, we coorporated the clips and edited it in a way so that they create suspense and drama adding tension to the film. When I watched over the film it seems to be as the girl who was smoking was watching from the start of the poor girls journey to the end of her getting mugged. This should reinforce the whole gang and intimadation that they bring along with them on to set.

For me, my favorite part was when the music beat was edited to drop when the first reaction happens creating a build up to the main act. Also I liked how we cut the scene of the gang member girl smoking , from this we created two individual clips, one was when she took the cigarette , opening into the scene of the gang, it was a smooth transition to the night, to the end where she lets out the smoke, symbolizing it has come to an end of the commotion as well as the film itself.
