SHUTTER: Final Cut

Editing: Day Five

Editing: Day Five

We spent our time today, cutting down certain shots in order to make the film shorter. We also added the soundtracks mentioned in my previous post and sound effect such as sounds of leaves rustling, and the sound of a camera shutter closing. As well as that, we also decided to change our films name from 'Eventide' to 'Shutter' as Eventide did not really relate to our film.

Editing Day Four

Editing: Day Four

Today we finished editing all of our footage and managed to connect all shots together. However, we still need to find some non-diegetic sound to use during some scenes, and we also need to cut some shots down as the film is longer than we expected it to be.

Filming: Day 4 - Last Two Forest Scene Shots

Filming Day 4

- Today we filmed the last two shots for our forest scenes

- It was shot in Hollow Ponds, Epping Forest

- Myself and Thomas (who is in charge of sound) had met up with our actor at 12:50 and went off to film at our location

- Filming ended at 1:30 as we only needed to film around 5 shots

Editing Day Three

Editing: Day Three

Today we managed to finish editing all of the forest scene shots we had, and we also started editing the house scene shots we managed to film yesterday. However, we still need to finish editing the house scenes, and we also need to film the last few shots for the forest scenes/end of the film.

Filming - Day 3: House Scenes (2nd Shoot)

Filming - Day 3: House Scenes (2nd Shoot)

- Today met up at Stratford Station at 10am

- We made our way to the location and arrived at 10:30am

- We started filming at 10:45am and shot our camera shots that took place outside first as we had to make sure the lighting for these scenes matched  the lighting for our shoot at the forest.

- We then shot our internal shots and set up our screen cap software for the research shots shown on our story boards

- We finished filming at 2:45pm and had lunch.

Location Release: House Scenes Re-shoot

Editing Day Two

Editing: Day Two

Today we managed to finish editing half of our forest scenes, as well as our house scenes. However, after looking through our house scenes, we realised that the lighting in those scenes does not match the rest of our footage. Due to this we decided to schedule a reshoot for the house scene at a different location.

Editing Day One

Editing: Day One

We spent our first day of editing learning how to use the software available to us, Final Cut Pro X. We learned how to:

- Cut parts of the footage we had

- Add video and sound effects

- Render the video we had edited

- Adjust sound levels

After learning these skills, we managed to edit the house scenes that we had shot on our first day of filming.
