CONSTRUCTION: EDITING

When we started editing we decided that we would use iMovie to edit our production. Although this was not the only editing software we used during production, for example we used FinalCutPro when green screening a CCTV camera frame. We also had to add a number of voiceovers, sound recordings, transitions and the music underscore which were all edited and manipulated in iMovie. 




The image above shows the beginning of our film opening, this shows our two company idents. The green bar that you can see is the opening to our underscore (downloaded from Premium beats). Throughout our production we had to change the music so that it would work in sync with our visuals and other voiceovers. We made the dialogue louder than the music so the audience can understand what is going on whilst still being able to hear the underscore. When editing the dialogue we dubbed it so that the audio was louder and clearer. We recorded the dialogue using voice memos on an iPhone as it provided a clear sound and it was easy to airdrop the recordings to the iMac which we were working on. 



The image above shows the CCTV camera effect. There are four green bars which are a sound effect of a camera zooming in on the Associate as he is observed in the form of a long shot. We decided that the original sound effect of the camera zooming in was too loud and distracted the audience from what the main focus of the scene was (the introduction of a new character) so we reduced the volume of the sound effect to make it more appropriate.
