First session in the edit suite
February 22, 2017This week we went back into the editing suite to look back at our footage and start to edit a rough copy. Matt reminded us of how to use the Adobe Premier Pro editing software, and how to find our rushes and label which ones we liked. We found the cut we liked the best, and because it's all one shot, we only needed to trim the start and end. Unfortunately, we found out that the microphone wasn't attached to the camera properly, so what we ended up with was the sound from the camera which is lower quality and you can hear a bass rumbling throughout the shot.
Matt and Luke suggested that to make it better we should get our actors back and re-record the audio, as well as the footsteps and other diegetic sounds. At first I was unsure of doing this because it would take time and would be hard to sync with the footage. Luckily you can't see their faces for most of it so we do not have to lip sync it exactly. Matt showed us that this is not unusual in the world of film-making, and they often dub scenes, for example in Star Wars. This made me feel more confident in re-doing the audio because I know that it'll make it sound more professional.
The overall shot we got was darker than we expected, however it works well with the 'under-the-bed' vibe, and it looks good when the door opens and more light shines in. The acting is really good, so with the new dialogue/sound over the top it should work well.
We have decided to do 'top-and-tail' titles, as we think that having credits on screen will distract the audience from the dialogue which is one of the most important parts of the intro.
We plan on re-recording the audio with our actors, then recording all of the background noises and other diegetic sounds needed to create the scene.
