After the original and second version of the establishing shot of the house were both unusable and our deadline tomorrow we had to film for a final time today. We went to re-film at lunch time so that we could use our two hour lesson to make final changes and upload our thriller opening sequence.
As today was the last day that we could film we had to make sure that we had lots of shots so that at least one would be of good quality and look professional. We filmed a range of shots including several normal tilts (from the floor to eye level), a tilt downwards from the sky and panning shots from both the left and the right. We also recorded a short clip of the house without any movement from the camera incase any of these shots didn't work and we had to use a still shot as our opening picture. Thankfully the weather today was quite glum which fits with the mood of our film and also meant that we didn't face the problem of the light reflecting off the window and being over exposed.
Once we returned back to college we downloaded the footage on to the computer and chose a tilt shot which was of good quality and in focus. We removed the old clip and added this one in, cutting it down to fit into the space with the razor tool. We then added the black and white effect so it was the same colour as the rest of the film.
Next, we added the audio of Evan singing the song 'Daisy, daisy' (which we recorded yesterday) into the video. We faded it in and out, got it to sync with the movement of his mouth and raised the volume of him singing to stand out.
Once this was finished we watched the whole video through from start to finish just to make sure there was no clumsy editing that we had missed and once we saw there wasn't we uploaded it to my youtube account.
