Transitions

When we were editing on Friday, we decided to add some fading transitions because we had watched another media film that looked good when they used it. Jess was just practising with the transitions, and then she showed it to us and we thought it looked really good and now we are going to use it in our film. It is a part where we have a close up of eyes and newspapers and we have put them together and it is really effective because it looks like he is looking at the newspaper clippings but also at the woman (Michaela) as well. Here is our film with added transitions:

Film Draft

This is another draft of our film and we have made the credits bigger and they are on the screen a bit longer. Some credits had to be put in a different place because they didn't fit very well but I think it looks better now. However we now do not know whether to have the credits in lower case or upper case letters because now most films and dramas have their credits in lower case letters. An example of this is Silent Witness.

Ripper edit

This is our almost finished film that needs to be shown to an audience to get some feedback and it also needs the music. We thought the credits worked well with genre as they are written in red to represent blood and death. We decided to have the credits show throughout the opening rather than all at the beginning because it looked better. We have changed the speed of some parts to make it flow better and to make it less boring, because before the shots were too long and could be a bit boring to watch. It now needs a bit of a tidy up and we are hoping to screen it to an audience to see what else we can do to improve it and then all it needs is the music.

Editing

Today, we showed what we have edited so far to Miss Foster,and looking at it again I am really happy with it, and I actually think it is quite scary. When looking at it we did notice there is a slight pause at the beginning, but that is because we thought it would go well with the theme of our film. Michaela is supposed to be a prostitute just walking out of a client's house, and although she waits for a few seconds, she is really sorting her top out to add to the story.
