Editing


The editing process was quite fun and educating. I learned so much from it! For example, to add special transitions such as dissolve fade in and outWhich could helps to smoothen the gap from scene to scene and aloes creates a very cool effect! I also learned that we have to cut on the movement so that that action won’t look robotic and will flow smoother and naturally. The hardest part in editing is the background music. As we have that lovely harp music and those amazing shots of Heather playing the harp. So we decided to have some shots of her playing the harp in the sequence randomly to gives that mysterious effect. But the problem is that obviously we have to match the action of her playing the harp to the music which is very hard to do. However, Matt helped us and told us we should make those little tags first and that will be much easier. He also taught us that to create more intense effect in the background music we could add up some artificial sound in it for example the low-pitched sound which suggest something bad will happen. Also at the end when the girl wakes up back in her room we add the sound of the city as well to make it more realistic rather then the weird silent.
