Today, I will be updating my blog and catch up on any of the blog posts that I may have missed over the last few weeks as I have still been trying to complete the editing phase of the coursework

Effects

There are a number of effects that i have included in the editing phase. There are examples listed below:

The 'Blur'

The blur has been added to give two impressions. Firstly, the main character is just waking up so I needed to create a dazed feel to his vision. Secondly, I wanted to keep a psychological atmosphere to the footage so the blur gives a hazy though process, doesn't have a clear vision into the future.

The CCTV Camera

I gave this footage a fuzzy feel as if it was actually being recorded and gave it a roll at the bottom of the screen to also show this effect. The 'REC' was added as it shows that its from a camera of some sort. I feel that i have achieved this CCTV feel to the footage.

Thursday 9th February

Today is the last day of editing and I am hopeful that I will be finished by the end of the day. I need to:
- Adjust the soundtrack
- Add 'REC.' to the footage thats supposed to be the CCTV camera
- Add any more effects to footage
- Get a fade on the end of the soundtrack
- Put the titles on top of the footage.

The Soundtrack

Over the past week, I have been thinking about the different soundtracks that I have posted onto my blog and with the footage that I have, deciding which will work better. So, whilst I edit, I will be trying out most of these soundtracks to see which one fits the best.

Tuesday 7th February

Today, I will be continuing the editing phase of my coursework. I now have my footage and soundtrack uploaded into FinalCut and I am ready to start.

Thursday 2nd February

Today, I will be uploading the footage and beginning the editing phase of the coursework. The only problem that I have at this point is the brightness of some pieces of footage that I have recorded, so I will try to adjust the brightness within FinalCut but if this doesn't work, then I will probably have to re-film these parts.
