Editing Diary- 8th December

This video originally had the sound of a heartbeat in the background. We thought that the sound with the music sounded cluttered. What we may do is add the sound in at the very end to emphasise that the characters dying.


The first challenge was to create a fade for our text to go on. We achieved this by adding a transition from iMovie onto a black screen. Doing this slows down the pace of the video and allows are text to be shown professionally. The transitions we are using in our film are the cross blur and fade to black.

The fade to black makes for a darker and slower paced film. The cross blur creates the effect of blinking or the losing and gaining of consciousness. These both make for a smooth transition between shots. We also used some straight cuts to speed up the pace slightly at the end.

We put the main characters names on their own screens to show their importance to the film. The shot with the bin in we may remove because it does not match the rest of the film and the writing is not as visible as it is on a black screen.

For the other members of the cast we put the names in pairs. This tells the audience that they are not as important as the main characters but still have a role in the film
