Rough Cut Analysis
I believe we have successfully achieved editing our separate shots together with some minor defects, for example I have the impression that the transition from the couple's kiss to the corridor scene needs to come in a little later. We have a couple of minor sound defects, where the voice of one of our peers can be hear in a corridor scene.
Post Production - Editing
For our film, I was the camera man.
We had a discussion and came to the conclusion that our narrative should be anti-chronological. The first thing we did was edit the corridor scene, we did this because it constantly returns back to the corridor, we had to make sure that it was perfect.
After doing that we edited the bedroom scene, this was the first scene to be shown after the corridor scene. This took quite a while for us to edit as the positioning of Emily's, (Jessica's) arm wasn't the same throughout each different shot, which made it very hard to keep continuity, so we had to make it very subtle, but when the shot changes her arm suddenly moves, but we made it less obvious by adding and taking away a few frames. We then added a dissolve transition to ease the scene change back to the corridor. The next scene to be added was the park scene, this was a lot easier to add than the bedroom scene because all the shots kept continuity. It was quite hard to keep continuity because of the dialogue, but due a group effort and lots of help from the group, we eventually got the right cut and once again, we added a dissolve transition.
The final scene we added was scene was the meeting, this was probably the easiest one to add, even though it took the longest to shoot. it all went into it pretty perfectly.
For each individual scene, i.e, corridor, meeting, park and bedroom, we edited each scene separately, for instance, the meeting, we edited the whole scene and then saved it, so when we wanted to put it into our final cut, we just took little snippets of the whole scene we had previously created, making the editing process a lot easier.
We got our music from a non-copyright site, incompetech.com, which meant we could put it into our film and not get into trouble for it. When we put it into our film, the music literally went perfectly with the film, this had its pros and cons, the pros being the music fit perfectly with the film, the cons being that I couldn't then go back and change all the tiny little mistakes we had made during the editing process. But because of the music, it didn't really need much tweaking at all. After we had added in the music, we spent a little time making sure we could hear the dialogue by changing all the volumes for each separate scene. Finally we added in some noise during the corridor scenes to make it look a lot more eerie, and added in some flashing white lights on the last part of the corridor scene, and with each flash getting whiter and whiter until the whole screen was entirely white just before the black out and credits
