In today's lesson we had to edit what we had filmed on Saturday of Character A. The first shot that we we had to edit was Character A standing at the cliff top while the camera was looking at her from the trees. This shot was what we had hope for, we inserted this clip in to our opening sequence near the start as this would make more sense to the audience. We thought it created a tense atmosphere and general concern for the young girl. The audio of the twigs snapping could be clearly heard which we were happy about. When editing the next shot of Character A texting her mother, we encountered a problem. As we used Trisha's phone as the main prop which Character A used, you could see the reflection of the camera and Trisha's previous texts. We thought this ruined the tension and suspense, but by adjusting the colour brightness and contrast, we were able to dim part of the phones screen so they no longer could been seen. The final shot that we recorded of the pan was filmed several times but we found that the camera had recorded the two boys in the shot. As we only needed half the pan from the start we cropped the shot and tried to merge it to the previous shot. After several attempts we managed it.
In the end we decided not to have music for Character B's entrance as the ambient sound of the birds and the traffic was more than suitable and fitted the atmosphere that we were trying to create for the audience.
Next lesson we will see if there any small adjustments that could be made to our opening sequence before the deadline (22/4/10).
