Main Post 10: Post Production

After we had finished filming, we needed to edit our footage. To edit we used the program  adobe premier and had to capture our footage and transfer it in to this software. This was a mission and very problematic to succeed as there is only limited equipment within our media department so we had to make sure we had booked each and every piece of equipment and an editing suit, so we knew that it was all available at the times that were convenient for us as a group.

During our editing we were un able to stick to our shot list and story board as, due to the lighting changing throughout our filming and due to filming on two different days not everything was perfect so some of our shots didn't match up as nicely as we wanted them to, so we re jigged and edited certain moments and shots so that it was in a convenient order so that our final piece looked as good and professional as possible. For example one of the changes we made was that we had to add in 'dip to black' transition from one shot to the next to connect mainly moving shots that went straight into stationary, of which wouldn't work, as for it to work we needed to have stopped the camera in a still position after our point of view shot so that it allowed the two shots to run smoothly into one another rather than looking jerky  Which by using the dip to black transition allowed us to recover our footage and create a smooth flowing opening sequence.

While editing I noticed a small continuity error of which was that in some shots 'Jacob' has both hoods up from  his jumper and body warmer whereas in others he only has his green hood up, this is a small continuity error of which could have been prevented. 

Also while editing we noticed that we didnt have many close ups of the protagonist 'Jacob' Which would have made our opening sequence more interesting as would have enabled the audience to have more of a connection with the character, being able to see more of his emotions. Here are some still shots of 'Jacob' of which show what we could/should have included especially after he tripped over and when he was running.

Below are some screen shots taken during the editing process.

This shot shows us cutting and editing our footage, it also shows the last shot of our footage before we added the typography.

This shot shows us inserting a title into our footage we added in 'two days earlier...' to make our opening more impactful and make the audience wonder whats going to happen next.

This Shot shows us adding in typography into the different video sections within adobe premier. It aslo shows here how we layed out all our footage and typogrphy within the software.

This shot shows jacob during a running shot, it also shows what our editing suit looked like on the software adobe premier before exporting our finshed footage.
