Evaluation of Editing

First session: (Old sequence) For our first session, we all split up to do the editing, Jamie Hutton was in charge of sound. Yharnna Joseph was in charge of font, and Evie Mullahy and Louise Jarvis was in charge of editing the clips. For Evie Mullahy and Louise Jarvis, we found the editing worked alright, we first placed all the clips together, and for the flashbacks we made it clear that they were a flashback by changing the colour of the clips to sepia, the only problem we had with editing was that we wanted to have a 'flash' of light, and that was extremely hard to find as we had to try and create it. Our inspiration came from the opening sequence of Seven when the flashes of still images appear on screen. However, it was impossible to create the effect on iMovie HD. 


Second Session: (New sequence) Evie Mullahy and Louise Jarvis were editing the new clips and Jamie Hutton was doing sound, however we found it extremely different as some of our extremely good shots were not long enough, so we found that we had to re-film some of the shots. However, we put all the shots in order for the sequence to make sense. However, there was not much we could do as alot of the shots were too shot to be used. Jamie Hutton was creating the diegetic and non-diegetic sound for our new opening sequence we created. the use of garage band was useful as it helped to put different sounds together. some of the diegetic sound had to be edited out which i  erased as it made it sound un professional, overall the sound is excellent.


Third Session: (New sequence) Evie Mullahy and Louise Jarvis, after we have finished re-filming the new clips, we have come in to put the clips on to the computer, however the camera has not been working properly, as it is taking along time to import. So we are presently waiting for the camera to get working, so we can start putting the new clips in to the sequence and in to order and we can start doing the transitions.


Fourth session: (New sequence) Louise and Evie completed the sound for the film and moved on to creating titles for our opening sequence. As the film is psychological thriller we had to look for disturbing writing which will identify the genre of the film, we found many different ones to choose from after choosing them we chose a front called 'all over again' however we decided to put the titles at the end of the sequence and one where the first character is shown. We had some difficulty with this as the font would load but we over came this problem and the title sequence worded well with the film creating a spooky but clever effect. For our last bit of editing we had to incorporate a production company logo at the start of our opening film for it to seem professional. We done this by getting a clip off of youtube and cutting and editing it in to our clip. This became a problem however, as we didn't do this when we uploaded it before to youtube, so we had to upload the clip with the production logo in and then upload it to our blog. 


(We all changed roles in the end and Evie Mullahy and Louise Jarvis were in charge of cutting the continuity editing, inputting the sound in to our sequence and the titles, Yharnna found the sound, and Yharnna and Jamie also carried on with the evaluation tasks on the blog)
