Editing

Editing:

Overall, I edited the majority of the filming. I used several tools to make the shots work and seem free flowing. I edited the part from walking down the steps to the end. I used the blade tool in the shot of me walking down the steps so you could see different angles and also to build tension of a important character. This tool was useful as it allowed me to get the correct cut and make it free flowing from shot to shot.

I also used cuts in order to get the correct part of the clip necessary. When filming if a mistake was made we let the camera carry on recording instead of lots of stop start clips and to stop overcrowding of clips in the final cut pro. The cut tool allowed me to gain the correct part and to make sure that from shot to shot it pieced well together.

In addition, I also increased the volume of the shots due to a struggle to hear the scene. This was mainly associated with long shots as the Camera Microphone was so far away but the raising of the sound allowed the dialogue to be heard to gain the narrative. I also faded the music in and out. The music is fairly loud but when speaking we allowed tot make priority so the narrative was clear but quite enough to hear the music to make it it tense.

Finally, I also used the Ken Burns tool to make the shot to shot seem better in one shot. This was due to a bag being in the background when filming that wasn't in the previous shot. The Ken Burns tool allowed us to save time as it didn't mean we had to rerecord that scene due to a silly mistake. It was also used when josh answered the phone to make it a little more tense.
