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.
