Constriction Post 6: Reflections on Edit Week 2

Our edit schedule
I think this week has been more successful than last week as we knew more about what we wanted to achieve and as we have all had chances to edit individually, we were all confident enough to do things more independently. This is what we have done this week:

  • We asked Chris, the technician to give us a demonstration on grading and titles
  • We used Livetype to create our titles. We added a flickering effect but kept our original idea of plain font. The flickering created the dark and mysterious atmosphere we wanted.
  • We chose our music. We decided to explore different genres and eventually we found the perfect song.
  • We changed our original order for the titles by adding in the 'producer' and 'director' credits later, in the hallway scene. 
  • Our music research on 'Incompetech'
  • We used Procamp and Three Way Colour Corrector to grade our shots. They were easy to use and very useful.

Music was the main issue, as the original song we picked for the animatic did not end up suiting the actual footage. We have tried various songs throughout this process but discarded them for various reasons, ranging from not being feminine enough to being too boring. Perhaps if we had a clearer idea of what music suited the atmosphere we were trying to create, it would not have taken so long to find a song.
