Editing Session 4

Today in our media lesson we moved onto the next editing session where we finished organising shots into place and we started to cut some camera shots down to remove the excess footage.

I noticed when ordering the shots that colour and lighting seemed to be an issue which lead us to tackle this problem in the session, we begun to colour match specific shots especially shots which had continuity as colour differences may look very unprofessional. Another part of the trailer we concentrated on was when Maddie is stepping into the bath, as the lighting was very different therefore I changed the colour by colour matching the shot of Maddie getting into the bath with the shot of Maddie sitting in the bath. This helped create a more realistic feel and will make it more believable for the audience. Below is the two shots of the bath scene:

Other shots I altered was the shot of Laurens face appearing from behind the banister. I used the transform tool in Final Cut Pro as this shot had been filmed with an iPhone in portrait view which meant their were black areas on either side of the camera shot, so I filled the entire display so that the shot was the same size as the others so it is consistent throughout. Also I changed the exposure and saturation levels to make the shot look clearer but still scary.
