Editing post - finishing touches

Inserting the production company:

To extract the production company video from the original clip I needed to shorten the clip at home first by downloading the video and editing it on movie maker, I then uploaded it back onto youtube. Once it was on youtube I downloaded 'Free Youtube Downloader' and copied the url of the production company into the downloader.

It then downloaded and I saved it in my group's media folder 'RebNat DanClo'

Once the clip had downloaded I imported the file onto imovie and put it at the beginning of our opening...

This was the final result.










Finalising the editing (ie timings): 
When we were close to our final product and we didn't have much left to edit we looked through each section carefully and made sure that everything was done to the best of our ability. We picked up many minor errors in that time, one of the errors was the part with the stairs. We realised that she walked down a few steps and then after a close up of Eden's face, Anna was back up the stairs she walked down. Therefore we simply snipped the clip down to the right length and carried on.

Editing the stairs: 
This part of the opening required a lot of focus, as we wanted Anna's passage down the stairs to seem unnatural. We did this by cutting up the original clip into different size clips which all had different timings. We used the speed section to alter the speed at which the video goes and ensured that a slow part would follow a quick part and so on. But we also varied the quick parts from each other by having one at a speed of 220 and one at a speed of 240 so it would not be identical and very ordered as that was not our aim.

The screen shots down the side show the speeds at which each individual clip is on and demonstrates how we created this effect.

We inserted jump cuts within this scene to make it more interesting and avoid a boring scene of a girl walking down some stairs. This was a perfect opportunity to show some clips of Eden's memories and reveal a bit more of the plot whilst building the tension to the final revelation.

We also created tension by playing around with the music, we did this by using the same sounds that we had played throughout the opening, however we slowed down or sped up the piece along with the video to emphasis Anna's movements, we found the music and sound in this section very effective.
