Editing (Continued)

As the editing process was started last week in the lesson times, we are hoping to get the majority of the sound editing done today, ready for the rough cut showing in Friday's lesson. This is essential as in the showing, there will be a lack of tension and mood should there be no sound. We are going to edit in some sounds that would seem to the audience as diegetic, whereas because they have been edited in, they will of course be non-diegetic sounds. Other than this, we will be adding the non diegetic sounds such as the tension-adding music and sound tracks.

Storyboarding

Over the past week and the weekend, I have been completing the storyboard for the final production and adding in the extra shots that we are needed to film in the near future. Today I will be adding some colour to the appropriate shots in the way that I believe we should edit the sequence into different colour patterns in order to make the scenes seem disjointed and off set from one another as the beginning is the introduction of current events, followed by some past events. The sequence is finished however, with the beginning of the current event from the beginning of the sequence.

Christmas Holidays

Before the christmas holidays began, we were partially into the planning process and the filming. filming progress was slow over these holidays as the group lacked any common free time. On the day that we did film, we made great progress and more than doubled our current footage length. In the first lessons back, we uploaded our new shots and we are currently in the middle of editing. Today we managed to get the initial title sequence in and working on Final Cut Pro.

Final Production Beginning

Over the weekend we will be taking pictures of the sets in which we will be filming and will also possibly be doing some filming ready for the final editing. The sets we are planning to use are:
-A kitchen in one of our houses

-The living room (For the first major event)

-Dark street/alley ways/ under street lamps

-Possibly also under felixstowe pier

Update: Planning for final production

Over the next three weeks, we will begin filming and editing our short sequence, in this time we will be doing a recce of the areas in which we are going to film and a health and safety check for any dangers. Also mood boards of ideas and conventions of thrillers will be made ready for the final production.
