the images above sow the alignment of clips within my short film prior to the soundtrack and other features being added. I decided to edit my film on I-Movie, as it offered me an accessible and simplistic platform, that could create professional looking cinematography and transitions. Furthermore, it enabled me to edit the appearance of the clip from crispness to resolution etc. This meant that I could take clips that had been poorly lit, and emphasise shadowing on figures or objects.
Above is the point where I added the soundtrack to my short film. I used 'To Build A Home' by the Cinematic Orcheastra. The reason for this was that I felt that the slow and solemn pace of the track further emphasised the themes and sadness of the narrative that I was hoping to convey in the film.
At this point, I had received audience feedback from You Tube stating the need for titling on the piece to make it more clear what the film was called. Thus, I added two titles to the film, shown above and below, clarifying the nature of the piece.
Below is in the later stages of the editing process of my film. I had merged all of the clips together, however the transition seemed too quick from the girl being dead to alive again. As a result, I added Black fillers, whereby the screen would go black for approximately two seconds. This gave the audience time to digest the fact that the girl was dead. Furthermore, it would lead to them believing this was the end of the film. Thus, when the shots continued
The final stage of the editing process that was subtle, but important to the piece was the sound effect of the girl gasping. Whilst the girl in the film had initially gasped when she awoke from death, background noise was prominent. As a result, I decided to remove the sound from the clip and add a separate sound effect of a girl gasping. This fitted perfectly with the clip, and made it appear to be more professional.
