Editing

We edited our film on numerous amounts of days and it took longer then filming. We always edited the day after filming to analyse our shots and see if we needed to change anything or film anything extra that day. We made our own soundtrack and the heartbeats to create tension and match how the character is feeling. (Heartbeat raises as he starts to progress through the alley.) Our soundtrack was loud and in the rock genre because it matched the footage and sounded good with the atmosphere of the film at that point. There was another non diegetic sound we put before the deal scene. This was to give the exchange more atmosphere and put the characters feelings across and make the audience know that something is shady. Staggy edited the whole film cutting all the individual shots shorter getting rid of unneccesary footage. He also edited the whole soundtrack during the film fading out volumes when needed. The whole film was letterboxed apart from the point of view shots to make it look like you are actually there witnessing it. The only transition used in the film was at the end when we faded out. The opening shot was a still shot to set the scene. The editing phase took alot of time and patience and thankfully we had a man who met all that criteria in St. Christopher Stagg I. He did the majority of the editing and I feel guilty about not helping as much as I could of. We are happy with the final film and want to stop blogging now because it is boring. We will go and fix the transition problem in our film now and then come back and upload our storyboard. Tara for now , Chris and Harry.
