Editing new footage
After re-filming some footage yesterday we decided that it would be a good idea to use our two free periods this morning to edit in the clips we took yesterday. We uploaded the clips from the camera, on to the computer, and then into Adobe premiere pro (the editing software we are using to edit our opening sequence). First of all we edited the sound of Evan saying 'Daisy' to be inserted into the end of the video when he opens the door. This was tricky to do as we had to match up the audio so it was in sync with the actors mouth and looked realistic rather than sound which had obviously been added in at a later date. We managed to do this and the sound is now of a good quality and is effective in building tension as it is clear and harsh sounding. We next inserted the new footage into our video and this included the establishing shot of the house and the doorbell being pressed. We removed the old clips and re-inserted the new ones, cutting them down with the razor tool in the editing software to fit into the original clips place.
After doing this I went back into the studio and recorded some more of our friends for our distorted news reports on my iphone. The reason we used my iphone and not a proper microphone was because it was a lot quicker to transfer them from my phone onto the computer and the quality of the clips were meant to sound distorted anyway and so slight background noise may add to the verisimilitude of the audio. Once we uploaded these to the computer we were faced with the problem of adding the distorted affect on them as Adobe soundbooth said it couldn't locate the files. To overcome this we simply had to move the clips into a new folder and make sure they were saved to the computer rather than the memory stick.
