Editing Schedule

Editing Diary

Along with filming, editing is a very important process for our trailer. Editing brings all the scenes and shots together, and gives us the best tools to make our trailer as good as possible.

Monday 7th Jan

Today Beth and I edited our footage from Thursday 3rd and Saturday 5th Jan to make a start on the footage we have. Unfortunately when we put all our footage into 'Adobe Premiere Elements' it was all very dark and you couldn't really see anything. Due to this we are going to refilm what we already have so that our audience will be able to see the shots and see our characters within them. As frustrating as this is for us, we have no choice but to refilm as we think that some of the shots are really effective.

Wednesday 16th Jan

Today we got to put our new footage onto Adobe. This footage was some new, and some refilmed. We only did basic editing, which involved shortening some clips, as there were only certain parts of the shots that we wanted. From this we created some long, and some short shots, so that we have variety in our trailer, and the really interesting shots just quickly flash up.

Tuesday 22nd Jan   

We had lots of editing to do today. It snowed a lot recently so we got to film a lot in the snow. Our shots from the snow give variety to our trailer as it shows the jump from the killer at one house, to the killer at another house. Our main intention today was just to put the footage onto Adobe and delete bits of the footage that were irrelevant or didn't look very good. We didn't do too much editing of the trailer overall as we had so much footage, we just needed to put the most important bits in, and make sure everything was relevant to how we wanted our trailer to be.

Tuesday 12th Feb

Clip placement was our main focus today. We had some new footage and a lot of old footage. Our main idea today was to make sure we had our beginning and ending how we wanted it, so that we would just have the middle to work on. Although we sorted out the beginning, we felt that we needed more original shots to show, so we are going to do some more filming some time this week. We also came up with some new shots we are probably going to try out today, so hopefully we capture them asap.

Wednesday 20th Feb

We did filming yesterday! We managed to capture some of the shots we had thought of yesterday so today we put them onto Adobe and ensured they all fit together perfectly. We did a lot of cutting today to create fast paced shots, and found an effect on Adobe that made a clip all blurry, which could lead our audience to think that the victim is watching the killer walk away, and her vision is blurry due to a knock to the head or something similar. 

     Tuesday 26th Feb

We decided to scrap a lot of shots today, as we changed our minds about who our main actress/actor was today due to them being unavailable when we desperately needed to film. Luckily we quickly replaced them so we had new footage of our new actors and actress. As we have new footage of new people, we have a lot more than we did prior to today so we have the option to scrap certain scenes and replace them with more interesting ones. We have so much footage that we now have to decide what is the most effective and interesting. Due to this we have only kept some snow day footage, and used a lot of indoor footage as when we were filming it, we were in full control of the light situation.
