Editing Of The Film

Once I had filmed all of our shots for our film opening, I uploaded all of the shots used onto one of the Macs. Here i was able to see what shots were effected and which ones weren't, while also enhancing the effective ones.
The problem I came across when editing the shots, was that the outside shots, some were darker than others, this couldn't be helped durring the filming process as it was getting darker as the night went on. I worked around this by editing the contrast and brightness of the shot. This then got rid of the mismatch between each outside shot.
The things i found easy on the editing of our film was how i could make each shot flow easily, while also breaking up one long shot and putting a shorter shot inbetween to break the action up. This was effective i felt as it would make the audeince feel more involved with the action within the scene while also making the overall shots look more professional.
Putting the credits and title onto the film was also easy, but i had to consider which font and placement of the credits looked more effective. I did this by researching different film openings with the same genre and target audeince. However, this was hard to find as most of the thiller/horror film openings dont include credits or a title, but the title does appear at the end of the opening. I didnt want to put the title at the end of the opening as i thought it was over done and it would be more effective for a audeince member to get a sence of what the film includes from the title, "The Unbeknown" before it even started.
Adding in music on the film opening was also something i found very difficult to get around because, i wanted to enhighten certain parts of the film opening to add more tension, however, this would of been far too time consuming so i looked on some legal music download sites, to find a piece of music that fitted really well with the action and context of the film.
I edited the music into the film and made the parts of the film where i wanted the action to be enhightned by music louder, these parts of the film were when we first see Chloe, who's playing the iminary friend, this is because i wanted the tension to build and make a bigger impact on the audeince as it would hopefully scare them.
