Editing

For our actual main video editing, we used a system called 'Final Cut Pro'. I personally found this system really simple to handle, but also liked how it had complex capabilities when I really grasped the software.
When looking back on Editing as a whole, I realised our main editing was cropping each video clip, but most importantly was the use of colour correction.









As seen above, we completely transformed every clip we ended up using in our final project, and significantly adapted it's overall appearance. Our clips may appear slightly blue, as we took inspiration from the global phenomenon 'The Twilight Saga', as it was apparent to us during our preliminary research, that they also used the same colour saturation, as it confirms the eerie nature that we initially wanted to set out for our audience.

Music (Garageband):

As said in my previous post on music, my group and I knew that it was imperative for us to incorporate Piano and Strings into our soundtrack. We knew this, because we decided to be heavily influence by the soundtrack of 'The Exorcist', as we preferred to have a repeating riff of music running throughout, to stick within this Thriller Stereotype. We also wanted a repeating soundtrack like this as we wanted our project to be memorable... for the right reasons!

One difficulty Laura, Matt and I had to overcome

was the layering of each musical clip, so that the

beats were all the same, and that changes in the tempo and instruments themselves were in time with the clip changes we had organised previously. Another task we struggled (initially) with was the use of 'loops'. As predicted, once we all got the hang of Garageband and it's capabilities, we began to just hopelessly add loops that in fact crowded over our main

piano and string features, meaning we became unhappy

with how it worked with out project, compared to how

we imagined it would be (simple, repetitive yet effective).

Luckily, in the end we managed to source the correct balance between the loops, and legitimate instruments, and it is safe to say that we all agree with our musical outcome, and believe it works well with our project as a whole, finished product.
