Editing again - 19th November

Today our group carried on with our editing and we made quite a lot of progress. Firstly, Aimee put the editing software(Final Cut Pro) and Aimee, Hannah and me re watched the trailer and decided what needed to be cut out, what lighting needed to be changed and also what would look better with a different contrast. While we were doing this Sally went and got a guitar from the music block so she could show us what she had done and maybe record something.
When Sally came back she played us what she had done, we all liked it but she couldn't record yet as we did not know the final length of the trailer so it couldn't fit together. Me and Sally then had a discussion about how fast she is going to be playing and things like that and we also looked at making different heartbeat noises on the Mac's.
With editing Aimee was changing the colour contrast, and we all agreed to start from the end and work our way to the beginning; to do this Aimee went onto video filters, image control and then brightness and contrast. When we were looking at the shrine shot Aimee made the background darker so it seemed like it was deep in the woods and quite late at night, this also made Kate look lighter compared to the background.
We were then looking at a shot of Kate running, and even with the contrast changed it still looked light. We were not sure what to do about this because it did not fit in with the part of the trailer it was in, but then Sally suggested that the trailer did not have to be in chronological order because they often aren't.
We then looked at a shot of Kate's eye and Aimee suggested we do it black and white, she also suggested the When a Stranger Calls trailer because that has a black and white bit, so we looked at that and liked it, so Aimee put the eye in black and white and we all liked it.
We then looked at sound a bit and listened to heart beat sounds on the Mac but we couldn't listen out loud as there was recording going on in the next room so we all took it in turns to listen with the headphones. Me and Sally then had another discussion about sound where we were both suggesting and looking at different sounds and as I also play guitar I listening to her guitar playing in depth.
Finally, me and Hannah suggested you could add a quick shot on an eye to the beginning of the trailer so the bit before she goes into the woods is not boring. Aimee then did this and we all watched the trailer and liked it, all we need to do is edit a few minor things and put the sound on and then we are finished.
