Day one editing.

After importing all of the clips I have recorded over the past week onto the Mac, I was able to begin editing each shot. I began by choosing which clips I want, and what specific order I would like them to appear in. I started with the opening clip which shows the floor in the woods, and around the woods from the victims view point which I slowed down to 50%; making it last 20.1 seconds rather than 10 - also, I felt this may emphasize the duration of the running and how it felt for the victim, as though they were running continuously in fear of what was to come when they eventually turned round (nearer the end of the movie). By doing this I clicked the selected amount of clip I wanted to edit > 'clip adjustments' and clicked 'convert entire clip' before deciding how slow/fast I wanted the speed to be. As well as changing the speed, I also changed the saturation of this clip to 0%, meaning it became black and white - which I prefer as it contrasts with the next shot which I have used as the food colouring/blood which is pouring into the bath as a shocking red colour. As well as changing the saturation I changed the 'exposure' to 100%, the 'brightness' to -25% and 'contrast' to -27%. Between this shot, and the shot which leads in the food colouring/blood being poured into the bath, I inserted a 1 second 'cross dissolve' transition, allowing the clip's to move softly between one another as I have witnessed on professional films. I changed the 'exposure' again on this clip, making it 106%, as well as the 'brightness' being 13% and the 'contrast' being 6%, I made the 'saturation' slightly lighter this time - rather than black and white - as I changed it to 109% making the food colouring/blood appear raw in contrast to the title which I inserted in the last 3 seconds of this shot. The font I chose for this title (which reads 'Oleander Productions') is 'Cracked', I looked throughout all of the fonts available, yet I found this was the most appropriate for the theme. I also inserted a 'double strike out' on this font, and ensured it was written in black with a white border. The text is rather large as it is written on size 72 font, however it fits the shot well and the colour use is a really good contrast to the blood.
