Editing

Following our rough cut feedback we are editing our thriller, in conjunction with the improvements needed that have been brought to our attention. We are re-shooting our sink shot as we feel the blood looks too unrealistic, and also the shot was shot using a school camera whereas we used Adam's camera to film the majority of our thriller, and Adam's camera shot in wide screen so we need to film the sink shot in wide screen using Adam's camera.

We are in the process of completing our final version, we will film the shots we need outside lesson time.

I, personally am confident that we will be able to produce a good thriller with the footage we have shot and with the editing capabilities of Final Cut.

Rough Cut

Rough Cut Feedback.

People thought that our thriller opening sequence flowed well and that the changing colour between the murder and the flashbacks was very good. Good variety of angles and close-up shots,
The viewers really liked the shot of Michelle in the ditch.

There was some negative feedback, especially concerning the blood in the sink shot as it looked realistic, we had already planned to re-shoot that shot.

People also thought that the murderer walking into the house was strange

sound and work done so far

our group went out and asked a member from another group to make screaming noises and crying noises for our video as the original sound we had for our video was terrible and had to be erased completely.

what we have done so far is rendered our footage and cut some footage out of our video.
we have also done the day for night effect on some of the footage in our video, which looks very good as we really wanted our footage to be dark like the night but were scared it would be too dark to see.

our footage has also been put in the right order as a rough cut.

problems but solutions aswell

what our group is doing now is rendering our video. a problem we encountered during the uploading of our video was that we used another type of camera to the college cameras which caused some problems with the final cut system as it would not allow it.

however we decided to upload it to imovie instead so we could change the format and import it into final cut.

Filming + Problems encountered.

We shot in Linton in Adams village, we got all our shots done in the time slot of 11am to 8pm, we did encounter some problems:

Firstly, Rachel was meant to be the girl in our movie but was unavailable at the time, to overcome this problem Adam called up one of his friends and Michelle played the role instead.

Secondly, The ground we chose was too hard to dig a hole in, to encounter this problem we used a ditch in Adams garden.

Other than these out filming went smoothly and according to plan.

We are very happy with the outcome and are in the process of uploading it onto final cut right now.

Some Ideas We May Use For Our Titles

We found some good Final cut tutorials that we may use for our titles.

This is one that may help us with some effects (When the eye appears from the R)

Editing Test Footage

we have uploaded our test footage and are now going to be trying out vaiouse filters and effects which we feel will make our final projects better.

Some ideas for filters and effects include a day to night filter.. we are also going to brows throught the final cut effects to see if there are anyothers that we feel can aid the effectiveness and atmosphere of or thriller.

Test footage

Our group went out and filmed some test footage in the forest at the edge of the long road field, we are going to try some effects on the clip to see what sort of final cut effects we would like to use in our thriller.

The second part of the test footage is to show us what the camera shot of the leaves falling on the camera will look like, using day for night and adjusing using colour corrector by making more blacks than middle colours, and by turning the saturation down to 0.

FINAL ANIMATIC

This is our final ideas without the music being prefected.




This is the basic layout and stucture of our sequence and we hope to keep the same order when we eventually film. The Titles at the beging want be like that as I only put them in to practice using the program and to gain a better knowledge.

From the title 'BETRAYAL' the eye will be brought in from the R. The final shot will be of the eye movie around to represent the killer as a mental man with problems. The Shot of the Killer looking through the cupboard and taking some Anti-depresents also shows the same thing as the eye shot, that the killer is having problems with coming to terms that he has lost his ex-girlfriend and now just killed her.





PICTURE IDEAS

Here are some Picture ides for shots that we will have in the sequence.



We can aim for a shot like this when the killer puts his Ex-girlfriend in the pit.





We could use this idea to light up the setting.
