More Editing.

OK!

So today we all came together again and got on with our editing. So far we have finished editing the starting sequence of the film which depicts Adrienne our actor (Zoe) having a party and going towards a log where a sinister character is hiding and ends up dying. This was quite arduous because we had a lot of footage which we had to include but we had to choose the most effective and relevant parts. This meant we had to cut many clips out because of the time limit we have and so there was a lot of footage lost but for the greater good.

From our past editing sessions we had worked on looking for music and so we looked on youtube for appropriate themes. At first we started to search for 'creepy music' but this was quite a wide range and we didn't come to any conclusion there. We then looked at various soundtracks from horror films and we had found some that seemed appropriate but what we had chosen eventually was from the film Dead Silence which we thought was effective, eerie,subtle and powerful enough to be used in our film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfp2KkDioi8

Yesterday evening 2 members of our group gathered the actors (two of us were unable to make it) and so they started to film the final seconds of our film, which included the teenagers going out to a forest/park to camp out in the dark and do what teenagers do but then becomes horribly wrong. Unfortunately the light was quite absent while filming this scene and so when put onto the Mac it was quite dark and obscure but with more editing we made it work as we think it is more effective when you cannot see what is happening but there is something wrong. There was a lot of footage of this and so we had to trim those clips down a lot to include all of the important and most effective parts. Because of the length we had to also cut down our beginning scene to fit in more of the night scene, but we made it work and if anything more effective than what it was.
