Thriller Editing

Today, in lesson we captured the videos which we shot earlier and then started the editing process. Firstly we looked at all of the clips which we had taken throughout filming process. Whilst watching the clips we all had a discussion about which bits of that can be used and which bits we can be cut down slightly. We had made sure during filming process that we filmed more than we needed so that in the editing process, we had enough footage, rather than having to go out and reshoot scenes. We also decided that the full opening or most of it should be shown in greyscale as the tone of film contrasted with the colours in it. If it was not in greyscale, we wanted to use faded colours. We decided that the hand held camera shots for the multiple photo pan worked better than the tripod panning shots. This was because the handheld shots were very fluid and accurate while the tripod shots appeared rigid and inconsistent. We edited the clips of Andrew walking together to make the walking appear continuous. We used a cross disolve into the sequence and a fade out of it. We then placed in between two different edits of the multiple photo pan sequence. We experimented with the saturation and brightness levels because we initially wanted this part to be in very faded colours. However, we could not find a good and consistent affect to achieve what we wanted so we decided to just have it shown in greyscale.
