PICTURES FROM EDITING

Here are a couple of pictures of our editing on imovie. This is a picture of our mac taken on an iphone, here we were editing the close up shot of Elizabeth and working on our soundtrack. If you look closely at the bottom left (purple screen) the purple background indicates that we added our soundtrack from garage band onto our film from the menu on the bottom right corner (with the blue bar).

EVALUATION

CHANGES WITH THE VOICE OVER

After listening to the voice over for one of our final drafts we discovered that after the final sentence "a part of me will always want to be her" we discovered that somebody had said "good" following it. So we had to edit the voice over so we could shorten it to finish on the word "her" with a couple of seconds of an instrumental before the end of our opening.

FOOTAGE FOR OUR SECOND IDEA

Here is some of the footage we used for the second film idea which involved the planning of the murder.

FILMING THE OPENING SHOT

Here is some of the original footage before any editing that we took to get our establishing shot. Including some of the original editing for our first moors murders idea.

TUNNEL SHOT

In our film we had to change the shot where Elizabeth and Georgia run through the tunnel, as after showing our teacher the film she said it did not look professional speeded up and suggested that we change it in order to give our film a more professional look, so we changed to shot so that they walked through the tunnel at the same pace. We found that this new version of the shot not only looked better but the longer sequence made change in music in time with the voice over 'she's got what she wanted' which we think is very effective.

OUR FILM IN HD

The final version of our film in hd, unfortunately due to a problem with the macs our music would go out of sync so it came in too early which ruined the editing. We also found that the hd version of some of our shots in high contrast lighting came out unclear and not as defined as they in the normal setting.

ELIZABETH'S CREDIT

There was much debate amongst the group over Elizabeth's credit, originally it was 'narrated by ELIZABETH KENNELLY' however after researching a number of different film, which involve voice overs with discovered that it was not typical of thriller films to include a 'narrated by...' credit in their opening sequence so we decided to scrap it and change it to 'edited by ELIZABETH KENNELLY'.

FINAL AS PRODUCT

This is our final film that we cannot change, when we uploaded it in hd the music would go out of sync with the film and the only difference was the credits themselves so instead we decided to keep it in large.

CREDITS

when editing our film we had to change the 'Eleanor Wakeling' credit from the swing shot, we had edited it so that the music, shot and name came in at the same time and was really effective. However it was difficult to read the name on the light coloured background and it distracted the audience from the symbolism of the toy, we felt that this was more important and wanted the credit to be easily read so we moved it to the following shot.
