post production - first few days

 First few days of editing

The first thing that we did in the first few days of editing was the things like putting all the clips together and cutting the clips to the suitable size. This meant that we had to choose the best clips out of the selection that we had, and cut and put together. When going over all of the footage that we had' overall it was quite good and we managed to record everything that we needed. Some of the mistakes we made though was I feel th last few clips of the massacre could have been better or just given us more of a variety to look at. It was good but I feel that we could of gotten a better POV shot. 

After the cutting and putting the clips together, we started to decide which type of editing skills and methods we could use to improve the quality of it. For example, popcorn editing was one of the ,thuds we used towards the end so that we could capture both the reaction of our character and what he was seeing. It took a couple of days for us to get to a final result (before the adding of titles and sound) as there was so many clips to try perfect. What we were trying to achieve was an effective horror genre opening scene. Some of the earlier choices we made to editing were just the basic outline to the opening sequence. We wanted to create our original idea. Some of the things did change was the original concept and how the 'cult' like creature was suppose to attack the main character. And with editing we would be able to do a quick cut. But it ended up being that with the use of editing in post production we could add the sound of a dog getting hurt and that is the reason that our character turns around.
