Fallen - Editing

Editing our film played a huge part in the overall finished product. We new from the very start that we were going to need to use slow motion, zoomed shots, fading shots and to straighten and scale each shot so that each shot was perfect. To start with we pieced the shots together into a simple "one after the other" formation, this helped us to see whether any shots that were missing that were essential or if there was poor continuity between shots. After checking this over we started to edit the shots, shortening them to make for a smooth flowing film. We first realised that every time we went to press the stop and start button on the camera it wobbled because of the lack of stability from the tripod. Therefore when editing we cut a second or two off the beginning and the end in order to rid of this wobble and to start action seamlessly. 

We then needed to slow down the shot were petals fall onto the face of our character therefore changed the "speed and duration" of the shot shown here...



However as you can see here the footage isn't very straight therefore we straightened this by rotating the footage and zooming in slightly this also helped to get rid of the banister what was visible and to create a focal point onto the character face to draw attention from the audience.
When filming we wanted to use two cameras in order to get perfect continuity, however when we used both cameras at the same time because of the different light sensors on the two different cameras the shots looked different so I had to colour correct the images as much as possible to make them look similar.
