RD: Post production

Post Production

I took a leading role in editing last week (Monday 19th January), The basement section of our project had been completed before so I edited the kitchen section of the project. We were trying to create tension by having a fast cutting rate and using different shots together to hint what is about to come. I edited all the shots from the second shoot.

We used a lot of different editing techniques including:

• Varied cutting rates
• We gave prevalence to the two antagonists
• Intercutting, flashing clips from the basement in the kitchen scene
• We used cut on action as we followed the male antagonist into the house
• We also used cross cutting on the clips with the basement
• We decided not to use jump cuts as we thought it would look messy

Post Production Work to do

• We need to add soundtrack
• We need to add sound effects
• We need to add credits

We will be using lesson times, lunch and free periods to complete this.
