Editing

We have been editing our horror film for a while now, and everything concerning the cutting, transitions, fonts and music is going well. However, we have noticed through the process of editing that the colour of our clips is far too bright and cheery for such a dark and creepy production, so we have decided to change our clips to a black and white colour scheme. This makes our clips look far more scary and sinister, and it also gives them a better quality look. We are aware that a black and white colour scheme is usually used on clips that form some sort of flashback or dream sequence, but as our clip is rather ambiguous anyway, we feel that it could well be a dream or flashback, as it is the start of the film and there are many possibilities for the rest of the production, if it was to be made into a full scale film. In order to compliment the new, dream-like feel of our clip, we have taken out all of the sound, and have just left in the music track. However, we needed to leave in sounds such as the creaking door and our character’s voice, so we altered them in a music software to make them sound more dream-like so that they would work well with the new feel of our piece.
