Editing

Our film has been uploaded and we have began to edit. So far, we are doing very well and have got a lot of work done.

Re-takes:
* All been edited out; took us several attempts to shoot a scene we were completely satisfied with - this part of the editing process took us a while to do as we were careful in the beginning and the ending of each and every scene so the the continuity looked as though it is following on after each scenes.
* We cut out unnessary bits, such as instead of beginning scene 2 with the victim standing still underneath the unbrella and walking off after looking towards the camera (me and Emily gesturing Lucy when to begin), we started it off by the victim walking immediately as the beginning is unimportant and we need our film to last at least 2 minutes. This aspect will be the part the audience will be interested in; it needs to be short and containing relevant information about what will occur throughout the film later on.
* The audience's attention needs to be attracted in order to make them carry on watching the film; this is why it is so important to have an interesting opening title sequence.

* After watching it a few times the scenes looked very fluent and we were happy with it.
* We got most of the scenes together in order and we cut out all the sounds apart from the scene where the victim and her friend have a short conversation, as we could hear the rain and us talking unnecessarily.
* This was simple to do and did not take a huge amount of time.
* We changed the scenes at the stalkers house to black and white, and in the very last scene at the stalkers house, the shot of the pictures covered in blood will also be in black and white.
* The titles of our opening appears in red and if this scene was in colour, it would have an affect so we decided this would give the ending a dramatic finish.
* We hope the audience will find this part attractive and look outstanding in the dark background.

* The names and titles need more work on but we have had a few difficulties, while adding in the rest of our titles to the other scenes as it was complicating in putting the titles in the correct places without cutting out any important sections.
* Fortunately, we have all the titles we need as we were able to sort the problem out - we used the effect 'wipe' and the texts in red for our titles.
* We are trying to put across to the audience: red title is blood and we used the effect 'wipe' to give the message that the blood is being being wiped on and off the ending.
* This decision took a lot of time to come to an agreement as there were a lot of effects we liked and we finally decided that this effect would go perfectly to our stalker film.

Add Music
* Get music from a copyright-free website.
* Decide on a music other than Granite by Pendulum - cannot find a copyright-free version.

A few more hours on the iMac and we will have completed and finished everything.
