Week 11 - Editing

After filming my opening sequence I can now go into post production and begin editing my film.


I uploaded my film in iMovie as when I tried uploading into Final Cut Pro the sound would not upload with the film which was a mojor problem, however uploading into iMovie solved the situation.


After uploading I decided to piece the film together in iMovie as I find it an easier program to use for pieceing together a series of film clips. I then edited in Final Cut Pro.


As iMovie saves the film as a whole sequence and not a series of sequences I had to cut down each shot in Final Cut Pro with the cut tool.




I then began experimenting with different effects in Final Cut Pro as I was not familair with what each of them did, I did this untill the desired effect was achieved. I achieved this with a: Radial Blur, Colour Tint (green) and colour style.


Once I was happy with the visual editing I began on the auditory editing. I wanted the film to be mostly natural so there was mostly non-diegetic audio used however there is some diegetic sounds, which is used to build tension over the non-diegetic sounds.
I used garage band to create the music, I selected the base tracks that I thought fitted best into the film and used the master editing to change the tone and pitch of the notes, often changing each note indidually. It was a long task but was worth it I believe.


I then recorded a friend growling for the creatures growl and put a deeper vocals effect onto it to make it sound much more feral and eerie.
I also chose to have a soft tune in the background as the tension was raised in the scene.

I got inspiration for the title design from this website:

Here are some images of my editing process in the titles:
