After shooting all the shots that we needed, we then went to the editing suite and tried putting them together. Whilst editing, we realised that not all of the shots were very useful, and so we cut some of them out. We noticed that every shot had to explain or tell the audience something about the film or the main character within the film, ie. the girl, in our case.
We edited all the pictures together first before we started on the sound. We put in additional credits at the beginning and also our main title, The Missing. Also, as we filmed outside in patchy cloud weather, we found out that we had slight problem with lighting continuity that we needed to sort out whilst editing.
After this, we could then go on to editing together the sound with the picture. Our music, which i found off limewire by typing in Horror, is a classic horror tune; starting off dark and slow, then with the addition of high violins over the top. After adding this to the picture edit, I found that it really brought the opening to life and gave it that tension that all horror films should have.
Sunday
shooting and preparation
Here are some photographs of our chosen location...
In order to start shooting our final task, we had to write up a Shot list so that it made it easier for us to film.
Shotlist
shot 1: out of focus in trees, then moving down to empty track (gradually becoming more focussed.)
shot 2: following girl using steady camera.
shot 3: camera on right side of girl, Medium still shot.
shot 4: low angle close up of girl's feet.
shot 5: low angle wid shot of girl walking towards camera.
shot 6: close up zoom of missing sign on ground.
shot 7: camera on right side of girl walking towards gate.
shot 8: wide shot straight on of girl walking towards camera, stopping and looking. (close up of her face.)
shot 9: mid shot of road sign (girl looking at it in mid shot)
shot 10: camera on left side of girl, mid shot, still camera, girl walking past and trying to get into gates.
In filming, We each had our different parts to play. I was the camera "man" and had to try and keep it steady, when necessary, which is harder than it looks!
We also had to make our main character(emma) look like something horrible had happened to her. We put her in a coat, much to big for her, ripped up tights and she was only wearing socks with mud all over them. Her hair was messy and we made her make up look as though she'd been crying. we also gave her some brouses and cuts on her face. This really added to the tension in our film.
