Continuing Editing

For my practical task this week I decided to continue editing our 2 minute opening. I left a gap between what was already done and the part I had started, which would be moved later. I decided to edit the part where the girl is going crazy and then the lights black out, there's darkness and then the lights come back on and the girl is no longer there.

Firstly I selected the clips I was going to use which required careful selection and comparison between clips. Then I used the blade tool to crop bits off that were shaky or too long, as this would make our sequence look unprofessional.

Luckily, when we filmed this part of our sequence we remembered to leave darkness for a few moments before turning the light back on, making the editing process a lot quicker and easier. I then stitched the sequences together. 

Following this, I played around with the colouring of the clip as the light slightly distorted parts of it, so this is one i looked at. It is obviously too yellow and in the end I decided on just adjusting the contrast and hues of the clip, if we are to use this in the end definitely then we'd have to apply it to all the clips.





These are the settings I used for the clip in the end, I sightly adjusted the hue and saturation of the clip so that they match better, as seen when you watch it. However, in the next part of the sequence the girl jumps up in front of the camera and there is an issue; the lighting is slightly different, meaning we will have to use our editing skills to make this appear more professional.














After this, I detached and muted the audio. We will later add the sounds.

Evaluation:
Later when we come to edit this more, we'll have a non-diegetic sound, then silence, the a loud noise e.g. a boom when she jumps up. I liked the saturation etc that I used, however, this may prove a nuisance for editing the rest of the sequence, plus it may look weird in other lighting. I am pleased though with the results and want to now look for non-diegetic sounds to use over the top.
