this is the prezi which leads up to these final editing screenshots
i used final cut pro on the mac to try out different effects and transitions to these plain pictures.
in this screenshot is where i tried out the black and white filter from a recently very bright coloured picture - i preffered it with the colour but for the thriller theme the black and white fit better
with the same picture i tried the reverse colour filter on top of the black and white to give it a disorentated look which definitly did but for the thriller x crime film that our group is trying to create it wouldnt work out but it was fun to experiment
with a different picture i tried using movements as well as filters, i used the standard black and white theme which actually improved the previous picture.
then i added on a motion transition which spins the picture around clockwise.
on top of that i also added an arrow shape on top of the picture almost as a stencil so it shows the direction of spinning.
personally i thought it was too heavy/much on one picture and didnt look good it was all too messy for an opening scene especially for 'the investigation' which is more on the simple side of the editing and transitions. (mostly fading in and out and going in and out of focus)
Preliminary task
what i personally found difficult when it was my turn to edit the preliminary task was the transitions and where they should be and how it all times together.
- our group experienced problems with the computer so it was difficult to edit as a whole so the places in which we cut things werent the same to eachother because we all had our own ideas (communication needed improvement)
= the actual recording of the different scenes to lead up to the one high five was really tedios because you never know what is missing or what you needed to shoot again until you sit down together and look at it on the editing software. if you miss out a certain part it makes the whole thing look really fake and rubbish
- following the 180 degree rule and such so it doesnt confuse/ disorientate the audience, the camera must always be in a place to capture the best most artistic shots but it also must be practicle and not break any of the most important rules in film
what our group found difficult together was who does what and how
- everyone has their own way of doing something which doesnt always correlate with the next person, so filming certain parts in certain ways got annoying because for example i wanted a part to be filmed in a different location or area while ruby would want to keep it consistent and just change the angle of the camera
this helped us grow as a group though as we now learnt communication is VERY KEY in these filming and planning stages of our project
