Overall: Difficulties encountered when editing

  • A problem we faced when editing was when did our jump cut from the protagonist's house to the next location (Tunbridge Wells). Our aim was to make it look like she ran a long way but due to camera movements we couldn't get the should we wanted. So we re-filmed of her running and in the end we had roughly 0.8 seconds of her running then cut out 6 seconds in between the next running scene to look realistic. 

  • When we chose our background music we realised that the beat didn't drop where we intended which is when the jump cut happens from the house to Tunbridge Wells. Even if we had moved it further to where we wanted, the beginning of the scene would not have music which doesn't work well. To fix this we managed to have a few seconds of silence in the beginning which led to the beat drop when our protagonist got out of her chair which looked good. 

  • Another problem we faced was when the other characters spoke on the last scene. There was background noise which meant that it was not clear when the characters spoke. To fix this, we had to mute that video and record a separate voice over on top. After numerous attempts, we managed to match the audio and video making the quality of our opening scene more professional. We raised the volume of the characters voice over to make it clear and faded the music in and out whenever they spoke.
