Editing

Due to the loss of editing footage due to the school Macs being stolen, I have had to start again from fresh with all the editing. In todays lesson I had Final Cut installed to my Macbook Pro, therefore I am now able to re-start editing again. So far I have re-named all the original clips, as well as the re-shoot clips. I am now beginning to order the clips and will then start editing them properly and in detail. Throughout this, I will also be considering the type of sound or music that I will use.

Re-shoot 8/2/13 evaluation

On 8/2/13 we re-shot a couple of scenes that we were unhappy with, for example the conversation between Emilie and Izzy and the establishing shot. We also added in some extra scenes to establish the location and killer more. The filming went very well and we got everything done very quickly and efficiently, more so than last time as we were more organised and focused. Overall we have some very good footage and will be able to place it well with our original edit.

First showcase of rough cut

In todays lesson we showcased our rough cut of our opening sequence. Each other group in the class assessed our work and made commnets on what was going well so far, what could be inproved and what needs to be added/removed.

Positive feedback:
-The setting is very effective and good for the genre.
-Quility of the filming is very good.
-Good match on action.
-Clear narrative.
-POV shot very good.
-Framing is excellent.
-Good sequence idea.

Consturctive critisism: 
-Some parts seem slightly rushed (E.G editing at the end of the sequence)
-Some cuts obvious
-Actors break the 4th wall as they look at the camera occationally.
-Needs a clearer establishing shot.
-Need to edit out the laugher on one of the shots.

We have taken on board the constructive critisism and have already identified these faults ourself. Obviously we had no finished editing when we showcased it therefore some of the critisisms like the laugher will be cut out once the editing it completed. On Friday 8th we will be refilming some of the scenes which for example, break the 4th wall and well as the establishing shot.

Risk assessment form- re-shoot

Risk Assessment Form- Production

Name of production: The Resistance

Group production details: SunRayMedia- Rosie King, Libby Nicholls, Michael Pilcher, Manhal Rayees

Filming day: day two

Hazards:	Risk (high, medium, low):	Controls:
-The log fire burning people, or wood falling out. -The axe -Using the axe	-Medium -Medium  -High	-Only let Rosie control the fire and put the metal grate up so that if firewood does fall out it won’t fall on people. -Keep the protective case on the axe so that if it is dropped it cannot hurt anyone. Only allow the person carrying the axe to have it at the point of filming, otherwise put in away so others cant handle it. -Axe is quite heavy and obviously dangerous so Rosie will be using it for that scene, as she knows to use to properly.

Editing the opening sequence

Firstly, Libby and I uploaded all the footage we had taken on our day of filming into Final Cut Pro and began to re-name all the clips so that we could access them more easily. After this we then started to order to clips in what fitted the storyboard; however, as we started to put it together we re-ordered some of the clips slightly as we felt it fit better, and created a better narrative. For example instead of starting with the girls in the cabin talking, we used a behind the shoulder shot of the killer walking to the cabin and looking through the window to establish the location and set the premise for the sequence.
After we had finally put all the clips in the right order, we then made a list of all the things we wanted to re-shoot and also film and add into the sequence. For example we want to re-film to part were the character Izzy goes outside. We also want to add some more scenes from the perspective off the killer- so looking through others windows at the girls.
