Progress on my two minute film - part 2

Whilst filming our two minute clip , my group and i realized that things would not go according to plan. We made a lot of drastic changes to our original idea along the way and i personally think we made a right a decision.

Unfortunately we did not use any dialogue in our film, however we thought that this would create a great effect on our film , leaving the viewer to pay more attention to the mise-en-scene and background music , indulging in the frightening atmosphere we have carefully constructed in our film. Allowing them to think up their own story line , wondering about the events before and after this event shown in the slip.

This way the viewer is involving themselves , giving the movie a unique personal perspective by exploring their imagination.

Editing our film

In class we have been working on editing our films on 'i-movie' on the macs. It is very simple and straight forward to use allowing me and partner carry out any editing techniques without any difficulties. The editing has proven to be a very long and time consuming process , ensuring that our short clip comes across professional and impressive as possible.

There are so many things that we can change and alter using 'i-movie' , from cropping / shortening clips , editing the background sound and changing the speed of a clip , transforming it into slow motion for example. Allowing so many aspects of the clip to be manipulated.

Whilst editing i find it very important to ask for my partners opinion on the changes being made, enabling her to enforce her own ideas on the editing, which is really helpful . I am looking forward to continue editing my two minute clip and watching the end result.
