Day four editing.

I plan for today to be the last day of editing, so I have enough time to evaluate my video. Following on from the cross dissolve transition after the shot of the photograph's the shot of Cynthia running through the woods is introduced for the first time - which I have slowed down to 50%. Similarly to the first shot in the woods of the floor that has been slowed down, I have done it primarily to show how the duration of the running must have seemed for the victim, as I said before it can empathise with them 'as though they were running continuously in fear of what was to come when they eventually turned round'. The next shot I chose here is blood/food colouring writing on the back of a notice board which I have made a lot faster in contrast to the shots of Cynthia running. Making this clip a lot faster shows the contrast between Arabella's racing state of mind compared to Cynthia's soft naivety which is portrayed in the slow-motion relaxed shot. Shots of Cynthia running and the blood/food colouring writing appear recurrently for the next few shots. Eventually when these finish I have inserted a clip of Cynthia in the woods, I originally allowed this to run smoothly although it was quite quick, however I have cut out several parts of several shots I recorded to create a jump cut. Jump cuts are highly affected as not only do they make the shot appear distorted whilst disrupting classical continuity editing, they also reflect on Arabella's state of mind due to her schizophrenia, with the fast acting and displaced cuts.
Before the jump cuts were inserted, this is how my movie looked:

I thought this was far too slow, and being one of the last shots the viewer sees, I wanted it to make an impact rather than follow on too similarly to the rest of the continuity editing we see throughout the film.
In order to create a jump cut I do the following:
- Put together various clips I planned to use
- Highlighted what part of each clip I wanted taken out from the rest
- Delete/cut out the highlighted part
- Allow the movie to play continuously with the segments taken out
Which causes my movie to look like this:

Finally, I have concluded to a black screen at the end of the film which fades on from the shot prior, included with this is a two second title featuring the 'Cracked' font with 'double strike out' reading the main title to the film 'Arabella's diary' to conclude the movie.
