Editing the video!!

To edit our video we used the MacBook Pro with the apple software called iMovie, It is a simple and easy thing to use. We used the MacBook Pro so that we could edit our film like a professional would. 


This is a screen shot of the program that we used.

When we were editing the film it was quite a quick process that lasted only 2 double lessons. We decided to have a 'Bleach bypass' effect over the top of the whole film to make it look more eerie and dark and like something wrong is going to happen and so the audience when they watch it feels scared. 

We used a track from youtube called 'scary music' we made sure it wasnt copyrighted and we also made sure that it was ok to use it in our film opening. We chose this music because it sounded creepy and it made the film opening more scary and gave the right atmosphere of her walking her dog alone and she doesn't know whats going to happen to her. 

We had to cut the shots down so they fit together right instead of the film being all jumpy, we had to cut off a few seconds off each of the clips and some of the clips we had to cut off a couple of seconds off of the front.

We added in a few black screens from where we faded the action into black to change to show who produced and directed the film opening and also to change the viewpoint of the camera from my feet walking along to Charley the dogs feet. We also added over the top of the action who stars in the film in white to make it stand out from the 'Bleach bypass' effect. We made the black screens and the white writing fade in and out after a few seconds.

We named our film 'Prohibited' which we show in the film opening right after I scream and the screen quickly changes to black, we made the writing blood red and in a different  font to the first font that we used, we did this to make it stand out from the rest of the writing font and colour so it stuck in your mind more.
