Prelim Task- Editing Process Pt.1

Friday 4th November 2016

Long shot using a strobe light.

All our shots were put into the correct order, adding sound where necessary (though not all sound has been added). We also managed to film the missing shot which I didn't film properly last time, however, we decided to make a few modifications as we thought this would enhance the effect of the scene. I recorded a high angle shot from the corner of the cupboard, the effect of this being a CCTV camera (which we can later edit to grey-scale) while Joelle recorded the long shot again but with a strobe light.

To the high angle shot which I recorded, we added a clock countdown using Courier New font, closest to the font that is usually seen on home video cameras etc. A problem with this however, was that we had to create the text ourselves using the 'title caption' tool on Adobe which proved more difficult than initially imagined as the placement had to be just right in order for it to look as even and natural as possible. This was almost achieved but the text seems to wobble slightly as it counts up three seconds so if I am going to use this technique in my future project, I must remember to calculate the positioning even more carefully.

This was a longer process and took us two hours to complete, with more to do for Tuesday.
