Week 3, Filming and Editing

In todays lesson, we were planning to film the outside parts in our production but after discussing with each other we decided not to film the other part. As we already had 5 minutes of filming from the inside shots, we thought it would be too difficult to cut down to 2 minutes if we done anymore filming. We were worried about our film opening looking like a comedy, with girls getting ready to go out so we decided to add audio to our production to make it scary. We already had clues in our filming about the killer, with the red wine and picture of his face etc... so we decided to record audio of a walkie talkie with Tom saying things like "white, blonde, 5ft6 girl found" so it was similar to a police reporting from a crime scene. We then filmed Paige (the victim) lying as if dead. We are thinking of editing in this still shots with audio over the top and placing them randomly in the production so it scares the audience and surprises them. This idea is a good because it is like a flash foward of what is going to happen to Paige and also is realistic because we recorded it using an actual walkie talkie. We then uploaded the new videos and starting to put in titles, and edit out the cuts that we didn't need. We plan to go edit the production next week during our spare time to make sure we get everything done on the edits. With editing techniques such as black and white, controlling the volume of audio and speed of the shots we can create the horror effect.
