Diary Entry For Editing - By Laura Bebber

DAY FOUR

During our lesson, we managed to successfully edit the majority of the film sequence. We added a slow motion effect to certain clips to create tension and a dramatic atmosphere. In order to maximise the overall quality of our footage, we sharpened the image and made various colour alterations. This proved rather tiresome as we had to alter every individual clip in the same way. However, I definitely feel that this gave our film a more glossy finish. We decided to edge towards the colour purple as it gave an effective atmosphere and felt that it was a good reinforcement of our desired genre. Today we also imported the original soundtrack and voice over into our project. This instantly improved the quality of our film and added an entirely more professional finish. We cleverly incorporated the audio to specifically match the footage on screen and altered the volume levels to ensure that both files were not overpowering one another. We played around with various audio effects and edited the pitch of the music for a more polished finish.
