Editing


Through editing we were able to apply the effects needed to make shots such as the flashbacks more realistic and apparent to viewers. We applied a soft focus effect to signify vividness of the characters past memories. The lighting in previous shots before the flashbacks are very dark and dull intended for the dreary mood we were creating. When the flashbacks occur there is then an obvious contrast making them more noticeable to the audience.

One of our tasks was to think up a name for our production company. Combinding Groverquite jump Enright, Murray and Stewart (our second names) we came up with the title GEMS productions. Following this we thought it would be a good idea to have a logo saying our production name. Using paint and word Hattie made two possible logo's. One of which will be in the beginning few seconds of the film opening.

Design 1

Design 2

In the end after a group desision it was design 2 everyone wanted to use.

Another aspect in making the flashbacks more obvious and significant to the audience is the sound. Elliot firstly tried reversing the track used in our opening, however the transistion into the flashback was still quite jumpy and didnt quite go. We had originally planned to have distorted voices in the flashback but only wanted certain words in it. This is in order to emphasize the uncertainty of her flashbacks. Once we had recorded this we added audio effects so it sounded more surreal. Lastly when adding this over our footage, we adjusted the sound volume so the audio keeps cutting in and out.
