Editing
the Clips

Sequence
and order of the shots
To
make sure we didn’t get confused or overlap our shots, we put them on different
levels of the timeline, which made it easier. This also helped with continuity
as we could closely edit the shots that we needed to match on action. By using
the + and – buttons, we could zoom in and out which allowed us to get the exact
moment we needed as we could zoom in and out as much as we wanted to. My group
found it difficult when editing match on action and this is because there was a
few continuity issues. All though I think we done a good job costume and make
up wise, we needed to make sure the actress was doing the exact same actions
and movements each time we filmed it and this is something we didn’t do,
although it was roughly the same. However, it showed when editing and I think
our match on action looks a little rough and jumpy.
Transitions
and titles
We had an issue in the fact that
our thriller wasn’t long enough so we decided that we would add titles at the
start on a black screen and we would just hear the sound of the dirt hitting
the top of the coffin. Originally, we wanted to layer the titles over the clips
while it was slow paced and we were going to stop the titles become quicker,
but it was way to short doing this, so we added it to a black screen and then
thought of the idea of adding sound, which we liked. We then had another
problem as we had a lot of titles, so it was a black screen for a long time
before the opening sequence even started. This didn’t look good and it was also
make the audience bored and they would lose concentration. We therefore decided
to do half and half. We now have a few seconds of black where the titles come
up then the opening sequence starts and the titles still come up. At the end of
the opening sequence, we see her laying in the coffin and the camera zooms out
and we can hear her breathing and then it cuts straight to black and the title ‘BENEATH’
appears. The music we heard at the start also fades in as the camera Is zooming
out.
