Final editing - 25th April

25th April update:
Today we our whole group stayed behind after school to do some extra work on our editing, because we really wanted to finish as we knew that we only have 3 lessons before the deadline. We added different text at the beginning of the thriller and the opening titles which we felt worked very well. This took some time, because we couldn’t get the right speed for every name as some parts were faster than others, which means we had to play around to change the time. We also added ‘echo’ effect to the party scene to show that this part of the thriller is showed in Rose’s perspective, as she’s high because of the drugs and she’s not fully aware of what’s happening around her. We felt that this effect worked amazingly on this scene, as it carries on all the way to the end in till the audience see the hand covered with blood that is slammed against the tree. We also finally figured out how to add fade out transitions, which we we’re unbelievably happy about, because in the first place we had a few problems with these, so when we finally worked out how to do them we we’re able to edit our thriller fully as we planned to. As it was very obvious to the audience that the hot tub lights changed between the two scenes, this meant that it didn’t work very well together, because at one point the lighting was purple then blue so we changed the colour of the second part of the clip which was when Dough as some weed and passes it to Rose, so after editing this, it looked very good and the lighting watched well together. So today we have finally finished our opening of the thriller, which we are very happy about. We might change some areas tomorrow in the lesson if we still find little parts which we are slightly not happy with.
