Editing part 3

Split clip- Highlight clip press E which will send the clip to the project, run cursor over where you would like to split the clip and the press Shift-Apple-S all at the same time. Our now split clip has been flipped around as it gives the character a weird distorted look, her limbs also look out of proportion. Replaying our edited clip always gives us new things to change, such as the hospital scene with my character when we played the scene with the volume we noticed some background noise that need to be taken out. To do this we simply just dub the sound( Mute the clip).


As we moved on to putting our opening titles into the clip we found it very difficult to use the previous fonts we had chosen for our production companies. When we print screened the font and inserted it into fireworks there was a lot of white background we could not get rid of. So we had to change our font ideas as we wanted them to be on the playing scene and this would not be possible with the fonts white background.
 

We choose red for our font colour as it holds connotations of both blood and horror, which represents our film. To the scene where we see Sarah acting crazy in the hospital we wanted to create a security camera look.

Previously we added a raster effect to the scene but we didn't think it was obvious enough for the audience, so we added changing times at the bottom of the clip we did this by adding titles in and changing the period they were on the screen for. It also helped achieve the idea that the character Sarah is insane as when she stares at the camera the time at the bottom of the screen changes rapidly.


At the end of the victims torture scene the camera cuts dead we later thought about adding a scream to leave the scene at a cliffhanger. At the time of recording we did not record any male screams so we went on to the imovie sounds too listen to the sound effects they had to offer. Unfortunately they did not have a male scream so we went on a free non copyright website www.soundfxnow.com the screams on this website were very comical and did not suit our genre of film. We were finally led to www.youtube.com where we typed in the search engine Free male screams. When we finally found a suitable scream we used a youtube converter to get the sound effect on to imovie. In one of the clips we had no other choice but to use subtitles as the characters voices were not clear enough. As we are trying to create the image that our film is all homemade we would not be able to go back on ours selves and re-shoot. It also mimics Paranormal Activity which was one of our chosen film based genre.
