Week 2 Editing

Image
This week we mostly focused on editing sound and adding sound to what we edited in the first week.  We left only a little non-diegetic sound in the beginning, but added eerie music to the killing scene.  The same transitions are being used, like the black sudden screens, but now we are going to add more film to create quicker transitions.  Our biggest problem this week is our film we gathered. While editing, we realized that the killing scene does not look as real as we wished. So next week we plan to re-film the scene and add a prop, like a big fake knife. This will give the scene more realistic features.  The same video and sound effects are being used. We did not spend as much time editing this week, since we need to focus on more filming, but overall we had a good week of editing.

Week 6 Filming Process

Image
In this shot, we tried to create lighting that seems mysterious to match our  plot. Here we have the hallway leading down to a darkness and a human figure standing in the middle.  In this shot, Donte is shown on the phone calling his other friends when they find the object that belongs to his friend who died there. He tried to look scared to create suspense.  In this last shot, Chris is taking a close up shot of the object left on the ground. Once we start filming the real opening, the object will be a bracelet.  This week did not have many issues, we just need to get the correct props once we finish our rough draft filming. My favorite shot to take was the hallway scene because it creates an eerie feeling for the audience. I am confident in how this opening is going to come together.
