Editing

After recording the raw footage. It soon became apparent that the night footage was very dark. To overcome this, we used the editing program: 'Final cut express' and used the video filter 'colour corrector'. This soon solved the problem of darkness, however left the footage with a grainy texture. This didn't effect our original vision, so we continued with the edit process.

Using final cut, we layered the footage in a way which isn't possible using iMovie.

Final cut also enabled the use of chroma keying, which opened the possibilities of green/blue screening. This became very useful for the peep hole shots. 

However, final cut didn't give us the possibilities for tracking. This was very important in order to fix the J-peg peep hole to the live action door. For this, we used the program 'Adobe after effects, which enabled the techniques of tracking, and also masking.   

Filming day

17/11/08

In the evening we shot all of our footage. To get the night shots we filmed from six to nine o'clock. The weather was not an issue however the darkness inevitably caused the problem of low light. We over came this problem by using studio lighting to light particularly dark areas.

With filming, certain flaws in the storyboard became apparent. Therefore some shots were improvised on set.

Sound

19/11/08

Today we recorded sound with a microphone and a pistol grip. This means the sound quality of the film will be consistent and effective. As you can see from the animatic, the sound is a important feature to create a erie atmosphere.

Animatic

Before filming, it was essential that we made an animatic. This let us experiment with cut rate and timing, making sure that our Thriller opening would fit within the time limit. We also incorporated some sound effects, however we did not intend to use these in the final piece.
