Editing again - 26th November

Today we focused on trying to get most or all of the editing finished. At the start of the lesson we started looking at transitions and Aimee got help with putting the transitions onto the trailer and when this had been done we discussed what templates we were going to use for the transitions. Me and Hannah then went on a different Mac to look for the quote from Empire so Aimee could add it onto the template for the transitions; while we were doing this Sally was focusing on sound on Protools and working on getting the timing correct.

Me and then Sally were then looking at sound together. We looked at a lot of different sounds to see if they would suit the trailer and changed the volume and length of the sounds to see what would sound best and how the sound would sound best. We did this for quite a long time as we looked at many different sounds and tried to get them completely right. When then joined in with Hannah and Aimee and looked at the trailer to see if everything looked right. The first shot of the trailer is an establishing shot of the street and then a speeded up black and white shot of an eye, then it goes back to the estbalishing shot. After this there is the producer logo and then a shot of Kate shutting the front door. We then did another shot of the black and white speeded up eye as we thought twice would give it more of an impact but still make the audience wonder what is going to happen. We then have an establishing shot of the grassy area we filmed in, this wasn't originally part of the storyboard but as the lighting was good when we were filming we decided it would be good to use. After this there is a shot of Kate walking through the gate, and then the tagline. Then there is a close up of the gate closing and you can hear the screeching sound of the gate closing; this is the only sound we have on the trailer at the moment as we are adding it after. There is then Kate walking into the forrest and then a p.o.v shot to give the effect that someone is watching her. We then have the quote from Empire magazine, this was the quote that I originally used and the rest of the group thought it sounded good. Then our quick shots begin and the first is a bloody hand print on a tree, then there is an over the shoulder shot of Kate where she slightly turns her head towards the camera. After that there is a pan shot of the grassy placed we filmed, close up of Kate's face, Kate's feet running, a close up of Kate's eye moving, and Kate running. That is the last fast shot because then it cuts to the shrine and then our last shot is Kate looking in the shrine and turning to face the camera (which is meant to be someone watching her), which the picture in her hand. We have taken some shots out of the storyboard like the arial shot as that would have been to difficult to do.

Me and Hannah then looked at transitions and we all agreed on corner crawl as the other transitions did not suit our trailer. Then we looked at sound and Sally showed us all of the sounds she had created on Photoshop and then she added a fuzzy noise on the top of her guitar but it overpowered the guitar so she turned it down a bit, and then it sounded good. Now all we have left is the sound to put on our trailer and then we have finished.
