Round up of editing Week 2

This week we started the editing of the footage from our main shoot, we were a lot happier with the footage we came back with as we had changed all the things that we decided we needed to change and improve.

One big difference between this shooting and the last is that we kept up to date with the shot log, this made it a lot easier when it came to editing as we knew exactly where on the tape the shot we wanted was. This is a picture of all of us discussing the shot log and deciding which piece of footage we needed to capture next.

This week we were in the editing room for alot longer then the previous, we had all our lessons to edit, so the same as you saw in my last editing post plus we came in two lunchtimes for half an hour and two after school sessions for an hour. We could choose any two lunchtimes out of tuesday, wednesday and thursday and any two after school periods of of the same days. The whole group didn't have to do the same sessions as eachother and this worked to our advantage as we had group members in the editing suite pretty much all the time out of the six possibly sessions we could choose.

We made some big decisions when it came to editing this week, we decided that we would have the scene of the girl in the shed second as apposed to it being the opening scene, this meant that the audience could link the two scenes together and it meant that we could finish the sequenmce off with something scary that will interest the audience.

We didn't need to re-shoot for this however we could just move the footage around on the programme we were using, adobe premier pro.This programme is fantastic,  it has many effects and different cool things you are able to add when editing.

Also this week we had decided on the music we were using, the music was very eerie and spooky, it had a slow tempo, we got this music from 'freeplaymusic' this is a great website you can get music from, and its all uncopyrited, so we were able to use it in our sequence.

However we have had some problems this week not with the editing but with the lighting in our shed scene, we have tried to adjust the light using the darkener on the programme but this doesn't looked realistic, we are looking for more of a strip of light instead of the whole shed being lit up, so we are going to have to re-shoot this weekend.
